Former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer told Congress Monday that Hunter referred to President Biden as “my guy” while connecting his dad to foreign associates nearly two dozen times — as Republicans move closer to starting an impeachment inquiry.
Archer said during a four-hour House Oversight Committee interview that Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings paid Hunter up to $1 million per year to serve on its board because of his family’s “brand.”
Archer met with then-Vice President Joe Biden in April 2014, within days of joining Burisma’s board alongside Hunter, and told lawmakers that “Burisma would have gone out of business if ‘the brand’ had not been attached to it,” according to a readout from panel Republicans.
You know what a “brand” is? Most people think of it as a logo, but a brand encompasses the entire experience that a consumer has with a company or a product or, in some cases, a person. It’s essentially the personality of the product or business with a distinct identity and its own unique attributes, all from the consumer’s perspective.
Now, when it comes to Joe Biden, I can’t imagine that’s the definition of “brand” they’re using. If that were the definition, it wouldn’t be a benefit to have him associated with a company like Burisma.
Joe Biden’s “brand” is smarmy moron and stair-tripping fool. Or in the words of B. Hussein Obama, “don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up.” That’s Biden’s brand.
What the founder of Burisma was after wasn’t so much brand, but name recognition and power. If the vice-president of the United States, Joe Biden, was associated with Burisma, it would lend an air of credibility (and intimidation) that might advance their business. They could boast that they had a Biden on board.
Hunter Biden’s business partner Devon Archer told Congress in bombshell testimony the ‘Biden brand’ helped keep Ukrainian firm Burisma from going bankrupt and revealed Joe was on the phone or present in-person at least 20 times while his son who called him ‘my guy’ was talking with foreign associates.
Republicans claim Archer’s testimony added to mounting evidence that the then-Vice President was involved in Hunter’s overseas deals that raked in millions from nations including China and Romania. Democrats claimed the phone calls were innocent and did not involve business.
Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., confirmed Archer told the House Oversight Committee that Joe had been on speakerphone multiple times while his son was talking with business partners – but insisted they were talking about ‘niceties’ like talking about ‘the weather, “what’s going on?”‘
Yeah, see, Hunter just included his dad — the “big guy” — on his business calls just to say “Hi.”
These people are BIG FAT HAIRY LIARS.
Goldman also contended that Joe Biden’s interactions with his son’s partners were innocent.
“He described what the weather was,” Goldman said of the president’s role in foreign business relationships. “It’s kind of a preposterous premise to think that a father should not say hello to people that the son is at dinner with, and that’s literally all the evidence is.”
But former FBI official Chris Swecker, who led the bureau’s criminal investigations division from 2004 to 2006, said that things didn’t look good for President Biden, noting the many alleged speakerphone calls.
“As head of the criminal division, we saw this quite a bit in bribery cases, it’s called stream of services,” Swecker told Fox News as Archer left Capitol Hill.
“You sell access or something of value and you get something back in return, but it’s not an express quid pro quo. It’s just an understanding, but if you can match up the services within a reasonable period of time — with the thing of benefit, in this case, $10 million, or whatever it is — then you then you have bribery,” Swecker said.
It’s about time that the Biden’s were scrutinized over their malfeasance. If all goes well, their will be an impeachment inquiry. Of course, that leaves us with the prospect of that cackling nightmare, Kamala Harris.
The Marxist-infused America haters have really put us in a great position to thrive as a nation, haven’t they?
Norms: restored.
