Thoughts on Archer testifying that he has no knowledge of Joe being involved in Hunter's business with Burisma?
It seems like all you have is Hunter trying to clout chase his dad. How is that any different than what Tom Hanks' son does or that guy whose dad died on the submersible.

Predicting that he didn't have any bombshell information and then pointing out that was in fact true is moving the goal posts?

So you're claiming that Archer saying he has no evidence of Biden being involved in Hunter's business is proof that Biden is involved in Hunter's business?

Hunter used Joe as his prop. He would call daddy when he needed the folks he was swindling to believe he could produce his daddy in an instant. He was selling access to Joe.
BY MR. MANDOLFO:
23 Q And was part of that value him bringing his dad to the Ukraine?
24 A I think in here it's clear that he's not bringing his dad, but he's saying, you
25 know, "I'm going to get credit for it."
27
1 Q But when you say "get credit" --
2 A He's not -- he was not determining -- he wasn't setting his dad's schedule to
3 bring him to Ukraine, I don't think.
Mr. Biggs. So why do you think they were asking Mr. Biden for D.C. help if they
23 had -- I'm assuming what you're saying is they might have had some kind of lobbying
24 group on retainer, perhaps.
25 Mr. Archer. Yes.
36
1 Mr. Biggs. So why do you think they were asking Hunter Biden for D.C. help?
2 Mr. Archer. I mean, why?
3 Mr. Biggs. I mean, what did you take away from that?
4 Mr. Archer. Well, I mean, he was a lobbyist and an expert and obviously he
5 carried, you know, a very powerful name. So I think it was -- that's what they were
6 asking for.
7 They had -- they also -- you know, there was a firm, Blue Star Strategies, that was
8 hired to be, you know, kind of the -- I don't know if they were a lobbying firm or just
9 strategic advisory. It's still unclear what the difference is. But, you know, that was
10 part of the mix.
11 But it was -- yeah, it was a high-pressure environment, and there was -- there was
12 constant requests for help.

Here is another interesting part...
Archer does not directly state the Hunter was used to pressure Joe, but rather to use his name (brand) in lobbying efforts in D.C.

Archer was directly asked about his opinion, and he did not clearly state that it was expected that Hunter was to speak to Joe.... This is very interesting. If Archer was entirely hostile to the Bidens, then you would expect him to come out and directly make these connections.

Hunter just being a dirty stain trying to make it seem like he is orchestrating things so that he can claim the credit with Burisma, and ultimately his pay out.

No, that would be supposition.

And you don't see anything wrong with a U.S. President having a compromised son? Nothing at all?

Are you asking me or telling me that?
If you are asking me, then Yes, it is very wrong...very wrong indeed.

And those "excerpts" show a very compromised U.S. Vice President. The argument is why weren't the U.S. citizens allowed to know he was/is compromised?
Why are the MSM covering up for this family?
To help them get here, Congressional Republicans relied on more than 150 suspicious activity reports as a roadmap to follow what they call the Bidens’ complicated financial money trail.
The confidential reports, called SARs for short, are often routine, with larger financial transactions automatically flagged to the government. The filing of a SARs report is not evidence on its own of misconduct.
But Rep. James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee leading the probe, said Wednesday that other types of financial records obtained through congressional subpoenas and lawsuits have now become the focus of their investigation.
The White House dismissed the whole investigation as “yet another political stunt.”
Under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), financial institutions are required to assist U.S. government agencies in detecting and preventing money laundering, and:
Keep records of cash purchases of negotiable instruments;
File reports of cash transactions exceeding $10,000 (daily aggregate amount)
Report suspicious activity that might signal criminal activity (e.g., money laundering, tax evasion).
