It was a moment of reckoning for the Biden family in Washington D.C. this week when Hunter Biden’s business partner, Devon Archer, made his way to Capitol Hill for a closed door interview with the House Oversight Committee. Heading into the day, there was much speculation about what he would say, given how closely he worked with the Bidens and how much he knew. 

After a few hours, it was evident the testimony went poorly for Democrats when Adam Schiff protege Dan Goldman rushed to the cameras in a frantic attempt to drive a new narrative by moving the goal posts on Joe Biden’s participation in dozens of calls – on speaker with Hunter's business associates listening in. 

Sweaty and nervous, a rare state for the usually confident and arrogant congressman, Goldman insulted the intelligence of any American paying attention to the story and tried to argue Hunter Biden created the "illusion" of access to his father. 

"There were niceties. And there was a hello. And [they] talked about the weather or whatever it was,” Goldman said. “But it was never any business."

Before meetings at the White House, Robert Biden – Joe's brother – encouraged Devon Archer to buy a burner phone. As we all know, burner phones are typically used for discussions about the "weather." 

Attempting to spin, Goldman then claimed it was “preposterous” to think Joe Biden wouldn’t speak to his son about business.

"He [Joe Biden] never said that he has never spoken to anyone. He said that he had nothing to do with Hunter Biden's business dealings," he continued. "It's kind of a preposterous premise to think that a father should not say hello to people that the son at a dinner with – the son is at dinner with, and that is literally all the evidence is.”

But it was Joe Biden who set the “preposterous” standard by repeatedly lying to the country and maintaining he “never” spoke to his son or Hunter's business partners about their deals. There was never an "illusion" of access. The access was real, and the Biden brand landed millions of dollars in a number of bank accounts and shell companies. Joe wasn't only in business with his son, he was the business. 

Joe's denial has always been a laughable claim, and a pile of evidence has disproved it for years. Hunter's other business partner, Tony Bobulinski, exposed Joe Biden's involvement during the 2020 presidential election. A media with intentions to protect the Bidens was not curious about Joe Biden being "the big guy" who got 10 percent. The FBI was also uninterested in accusations of bribery. 

Archer made it clear then-Vice President Joe Biden had Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired because he was sniffing around Burisma’s corruption and making their aspirations of an initial public offering in the U.S. harder to attain. And while Archer's testimony was focused on Ukraine, Hunter’s laptop shows his father was engaged with deals in China too. 

“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,” a text message from Hunter Biden to a Chinese fund management company CEO states. "Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand. And now means tonight. I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father."

Not to mention the recently released FBI-1023 form, which accuses Joe Biden of bribery. 

“The FBI’s Biden Bribery Record tracks closely with the evidence uncovered by the Oversight Committee’s Biden family influence peddling investigation. In the FBI’s record, the Burisma executive claims that he didn’t pay the ‘big guy’ directly but that he used several bank accounts to conceal the money. That sounds an awful lot like how the Bidens conduct business: using multiple bank accounts to hide the source and total amount of the money,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said about the document. 

I won’t say the walls are closing in, because on Democrats, they never do — but at least the truth is out in the open and Americans can make up their minds about whether Biden sold out the country to make himself rich.

As for the weather, the heat is on, a storm is brewing, and impeachment is in the forecast.
