The Hunter Biden investigation has turned into a DOJ coverup operation

Former Hunter Biden business partner and longtime friend Devon Archer’s transcribed interview before the House Oversight Committee on Monday corroborated many of the recent allegations regarding the family’s foreign pay to play business.

Paramount among them was Archer’s admission that Hunter Biden was “selling the brand,” meaning access to the second most powerful man in the U.S. government on a moment’s notice. Archer reportedly confirmed that Hunter put then-Vice President Joe Biden on speakerphone at least 20 times during meetings with his foreign business associates.

According to a HOC press release, “Devon Archer testified that the value of adding Hunter Biden to Burisma’s board was ‘the brand’ and confirmed that then-Vice President Joe Biden was ‘the brand.’ … Archer admitted that ‘Burisma would have gone out of business if the brand had not been attached to it.’” 

Biden did not discuss business with these men, Archer told lawmakers. Rather, he shared niceties and spoke about the weather during the calls. But the implication was clear: At the right price, Joe Biden’s influence was for sale.

It was a very good day for the House Republicans. Not so much for the Democrats, who had a far different take. After listening to commentary from Democratic politicians and their legacy media sycophants, one would be forgiven for thinking they’d been transported to an alternate universe. 

Freshman Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), who is quickly becoming the Adam Schiff of the Biden’s influence peddling scandal, was the lead attorney in the Democrats’ 2019 impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump. He spoke to reporters immediately after hearing Archer’s testimony.

“The witness was unequivocal and stated very clearly that they never discussed any business on [those] phone conversations,” Goldman said. “There were niceties. And there was a hello. And [they] talked about the weather or whatever it was, but it was never any business.”

Goldman suggested that Hunter and his father were in constant contact because they were grieving Beau Biden’s May 2015 death. He said, “The witness described in vivid detail about how devastating that was to both Hunter Biden and to Joe Biden, and how their communications picked up dramatically in the aftermath.”

Democrats insist there’s no evidence that Joe Biden was involved in his son’s business dealings. 

Sen. Chris Coons (D-CT) told NBC on Sunday that after a five-year investigation by a Trump-appointed U.S. attorney, Republicans have “come forward with not one shred of evidence tying President Biden to any of this.”

In a Friday interview with MSNBC, Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) said that Hunter Biden broke the law. However, he went on to say, “There is today zero evidence, zero evidence that Joe Biden, the president of the United States, knew about what his son was doing.”

White House spokesman Ian Sams said in a statement: “House Republicans keep promising bombshell evidence to support their ridiculous attacks against the President, but time after time, they keep failing to produce any. In fact, even their own witnesses appear to be debunking their allegations.”

On Monday, Democratic strategist and communicator Chris Moyer told Fox News, “Republicans are always going to try to find something to drum up.”

Why, in the face of all the mounting evidence (which is beyond the scope of this post), do Democrats and the media continue to deny Joe Biden’s involvement?

Because they are all complicit in the coverup.

Judge Maryellen Noreika’s refusal to rubber stamp Hunter Biden’s plea agreement last week exposed the weaponization of the DOJ for the world to see. 

The one-sided nature of the deal showed that prosecutors were more interested in protecting the Bidens than in pursuing actual justice. Rather than following the law in this case, they looked for a path to a predetermined outcome. 

The DOJ’s credibility took an enormous hit last week. After getting away with so much for so long, the agency’s corruption was finally called out in a very public way. 

Ultimately, their actions may open up DOJ prosecutors and those up the chain of command, including Attorney General Merrick Garland himself, to obstruction of justice charges. 

In a Friday interview with Fox News, House Speaker Newt Gingrich compared Judge Noreika’s rejection of the plea deal and the DOJ’s attempt to cover up the Biden’s wrongdoing to Watergate:

It shook up the Justice Department down in Delaware because, all of the sudden, you begin to realize that if there’s going to be a serious impeachment inquiry, you might be brought in for obstruction of justice. Remember, 46 people were convicted during Watergate. 46. Including the only attorney general ever to go to jail – which was for obstruction – the point I keep trying to make about the current attorney general who I think is very vulnerable to an obstruction [charge] and may well end up in jail before this is all over. 

Biden never dreamed he would have to answer to the American people for any of his actions and that made him sloppy. He and his wayward son left behind a substantial trail of evidence. And the DOJ has been complicit in covering it up. That’s called obstruction.

The Hunter Biden investigation is now a DOJ coverup operation.
