What else were we to believe? 

While President Biden maintained that he has never discussed business with his son, a note written to Devon Archer on his vice presidential letterhead on January 20, 2011, raises questions.

If Hunter and Devon were not in business together, why did Joe add a hand-written postscript at the bottom of the note saying, “Happy you guys are together.”?

“I hope I get a chance to see you again with Hunter,” he wrote, “I hope you enjoyed lunch.  Thanks for coming.”

Okay … I’ll get serious, but if there was ever a better example of what can happen as a result of trying to cover-up a scandal, I haven’t seen it.

In his piece, Remember that Biden Dinner That Joe Biden Never Attended? Well, he did, George Washington Law School professor Jonathan Turley writes of the Biden’s being the best when it comes to influence peddling.

“Part of the brilliance of the Biden influence peddling operation,” he illustrates “was to invest the media into the denial of any scandal.”  When it came to Joe Biden’s attendance with Hunter’s business associates, Turley noted “most of the media cannot be bothered with such trivialities.”

It continued following the day Devon Archer was interviewed at length by members of the House of Representatives when CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC and MSNBC all failed to report of what Archer revealed.

It didn’t hurt that Attorney General Merrick Garland and his Special Council Jack Smith had an agenda that assured that former President Trump would be in the headlines.

You may recall that Joe Biden made repeated denials, fully knowing that he met with Hunter and foreign associates at a 2015 dinner, at which he was introduced to Vadym Pozharskyi, a top executive of Burisma, who later e-mailed his appreciation of that meeting.  Burisma is the company that paid Hunter $83,000 a month.

“I don’t know if it was an orchestrated call-in or not,” Archer told Tucker Carlson. “It certainly was powerful though because you’re sitting with foreign businessmen and you hear the vice president’s voice.  That’s prize enough.  I mean, that’s pretty impactful for anyone in the world.”

During the Archer interview, he told House members that Hunter’s value on the board was “the brand.”  “Burisma,” he added, “would have gone out of business if “the brand” had not been attached to it.”

In my last blog, Smith’s Indictment of Trump is Seen as Weak, I included several quotes by columnists and fellow bloggers.  Here’s one that surfaced after it was published:

“With every passing day it becomes more and more clear that we have a president who has been for years, and still may be, in simplest terms, on the take. 

“Using family members as fronts and the prerogatives of elected office as bait, he has presided over a bribe-collection business that has leveraged U.S. foreign policy and foreign aid to rake in millions for the clan, mostly or entirely from business interests aligned with the worst of our adversaries on the foreign stage.

“In your wildest dreams, could you ever have imagined that the U.S. presidency cold sink so low?”  – Francis Mention, the Manhattan Contrarian

Think about this in the coming weeks as the House of Representatives releases evidence from the money-laundering scheme, using dozens of shell companies in attempt to hide money exchanging.

May God continue to bless the United States of America.
