Adorned with the Queen Anne-era of grand architecture and tightly guarded by Secret Service agents, the 9,000-square foot vice president’s mansion on the U.S. Naval Observatory grounds is rarely accessible to everyday Americans. But Hunter Biden – as the son of a sitting vice president – was able to score the sort of VIP meeting inside the mansion that most lobbyists could only dream of.
There in 2015, the future first son delivered face time between then-Vice President Joe Biden, his fellow business partner and Burisma board member Devon Archer and an international banker they were courting for business in Kazakhstan.
The meeting – recently divulged by Archer in congressional testimony – is one of several that Hunter Biden arranged that delivered direct access for business partners to his powerful father. Some occurred on phone calls; others at the swanky Cafe Milano restaurant in Washington D.C. But this one – in the personal residence of the vice president – is taking on more significance for House investigators for the specificity of the conversation and the secretive nature of the gathering.

The letter from the WH counsel to the media gave them their marching orders. The WH says "jump" and the media responds "how high?"
This whole discussion is so ridiculous. As if Biden couldn’t possibly be involved in his son’s business.....Biden IS his son’s business! Hunter raised and trained to be the bagman for the Biden Crime Family - lock them all up, and that includes the women. Everyone took part.
Raging smoke but no fire.
Absolutely nothing will happen.
Oh, come on! Everybody does this! /s
any “business” outside his official duties should not have occurred. nothing to do with legal or not. He’s VP 24/7.
Oversight Chairman James Comer has assembled evidence of more than a dozen instances
where Joe Biden met or assisted Hunter Biden’s business associates, including:
In December 2013, Joe Biden let Hunter fly on Air Force II to Beijing, where he scored one of his first business deals in China.
Joe Biden had coffee with Hunter Biden’s Chinese business associate, Jonathan Li, in Beijing and wrote a college letter of recommendation for his daughter.
In April 2014, Joe Biden dined with several Hunter Biden business associates in April 2014 at the Café Milano, including Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina.
In April 2015, Joe Biden dined with Hunter Biden’s guests, including top Burisma executive Vadym Pozharsky at the Café Milano restaurant.
In a September 21, 2017, email, Hunter Biden wrote that Joe Biden is his business partner and provided Joe Biden’s personal cell phone if the recipient sought confirmation.
Emails also show that Hunter Biden, CEFC Energy officials, and Joe Biden would share offices under the Hudson West/CEFC/Biden Foundation name.
In a 2020 FBI interview, Biden business associate Rob Walker told agents Joe Biden attended a meeting with a meeting with Chinese officials at CEFC, one of his son’s clients.
In February 2014, Joe Biden reportedly met with two of Hunter’s Mexican business associates at the White House.
In February 2016, then-VP Biden allowed his son and Biden associate, Jeffrey Cooper, to fly to Mexico on Air Force 2 to meet with business partners.
Sad...business as usual despite Beau's prognosis. You would think Joe would be spending time with Beau...not Hunter.
Why can’t anybody explain what hunter’s business was//sarc
“The official entry logs released by the Obama administration do not show businessman/banker Marc Holtzman, Archer or Hunter Biden attending together at the Naval Observatory in 2015.”
Absent the official entry logs at the Naval Observatory, I think all we have here is Archer’s testimony. He said and He said.

According to “Just the News,” Hunter facilitated the meeting between his father, fellow business partner Devon Archer, and international banker Marc Holtzman, with the suspected intention of securing business deals for Burisma in Kazakhstan.
The exclusive gathering, which was recently disclosed by Archer during congressional testimony, sparked interest among House investigators due to its seemingly secretive nature and the specific topic of the alleged conversation.
While official VP entry logs (falsified by Biden?) do not show Holtzman, Archer, or Hunter attending together at the Naval Observatory in 2015, Archer confirmed that the meeting took place.
“It was, like, a UN-related conversation,” Archer testified before congressional investigators during a closed-door meeting in July. “A gentleman named Marc Holtzman, myself, Hunter, and the Vice President.”
Devon Archer testified about the meeting to congressional investigators in July.
The discussion allegedly revolved around Holtzman’s advocacy for former Kazakh Prime Minister Karim Massimov to become the next UN Secy-General – a position that VP Biden had the power to influence.
“It was about who was going to be the next U.N. Secretary-General … Marc Holtzman was lobbying for Karim Massimov,” Archer added during his testimony. “But it was, obviously, that didn’t happen.”
According to Archer, the purpose of the meeting was to further Burisma’s energy deal in Ukraine with the help of Holtzman, who held a prominent role at Kazakhstan’s largest bank at the time.
The goal was also to expand Burisma’s businesses by introducing new equipment, technology, and clean drilling techniques (Obama’s green agenda?). However, the deal was never made.

That’s not evidence. Evidence is when an overweight Lt Col of Ukrainian descent overhears part of a telephone conversation. That’s impeachment evidence.

Sad to see...business as usual despite Beau’s prognosis.
You’d think Joe would be spending time with Beau.......not Hunter.
===================================
Greenfield-—At first glance, Hunter Biden’s influence peddling deals appear to be internationally opportunistic, as he flew on AF Two from one part of the world to the other, exploiting whatever openings emerged.
Republicans need to scrutinize whether Hunter and his business partners were piggybacking on the foreign and domestic policies of the Obama administration,converging on green energy investments at home, and Chinese and Ukrainian oligarchs looking to do business in America.
CNN (cough) “Fact Checker:” There is no public evidence
to date that the president personally received any money.
ASTUTE FREEPERS:
Doesn’t matter. Even if Biden, personally, did not receive bribe
money.......if his family did, then the Bribery charge is valid.
In a court of law, having bribe money filter through 20 shell companies with no
actual business activity is called “prima facie” evidence of money laundering.
Filtering bribe money through family members is an age-old method of delivering bribes.

BREAKING: Hunter Biden indicted by special counsel on felony gun charges: LIVE COVERAGE
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden has been indicted by special counsel David Weiss on felony gun charges.
The charge bring renewed legal pressure on the younger Biden after a plea agreement he struck with prosecutors deteriorated in recent months.
The younger Biden has been charged with one count of False Statement in Purchase of a Firearm, one count of False Statement Related to Information Required to be Kept By Federal Firearms Licensed Dealer, and one count of Possession of a Firearm by a Person who is an Unlawful User of or Addicted to a Controlled Substance.
Prosecutors have spent years scrutinizing Hunter Biden’s business endeavors and personal life — a probe that appeared to culminate in a plea agreement the two sides struck in June, which would have allowed him to plead guilty to a pair of misdemeanor tax offenses and enter into a pretrial diversion program to avoid prosecution on a felony gun charge.
