Hunter Biden's onetime friend and former business partner has primed several proverbial bombshells to go off on Capitol Hill this week.
Devon Archer is scheduled to testify before Congress about how President Joe Biden was allegedly involved in his son's overseas business dealings.
Archer, a longtime Biden family associate, will supposedly corroborate the existence of 24 conversations between Hunter, his foreign business partners and his father – then-Vice President Joe Biden. (RELATED: Video: House Leader Alleges Biden Envoy To Iran May Have Committed ‘Treason')
The New York Post has more on Archer's expected testimony before the House Oversight Committee:
“We are looking forward very much to hearing from Devon Archer about all the times he has witnessed Joe Biden meeting with Hunter Biden's overseas business partners when he was vice president, including on speakerphone,” said Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the committee chairman.
One such meeting was in Dubai late in the evening of Friday, Dec. 4, 2015, after a board meeting of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which was paying Hunter $83,000 a month as a director.
Shortly afterward, two Burisma associates approached Hunter at a hotel bar, asking if they could speak to his father. According to Archer, Hunter obliged and told his father that Burisma's leadership team “need our support.”
The vice president – the Obama administration's point man on Ukraine – was scheduled to appear in Kyiv 72 hours later.
The Post continues, noting that in December 2015, Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin was investigating Burisma for corruption and had seized some of Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevsky's most prized possessions while the executive of the Ukrainian energy company lived on the lam in Dubai:
A month later, Shokin was fired, after Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in US aid to Ukraine.
“I looked at them and said, ‘I'm leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money,'” Biden would brag to the Council on Foreign Relations. “Well, son of a bitch. He got fired.”
Last week, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) released the FD-1023 FBI whistleblower form alleging Biden was involved in a $5,000,000 bribery scheme involving Zlochevsky and Hunter to get Shokin fired.

Big deal. Nuthin’s gonna happen. Trump had his chance in 2016 to purge the deep state; they are too firmly entrenched now. The judiciary is corrupt as well, so game over. That’s the reality, get used to it.
Really can we prosecute later
