Bidens silent as son's former friend and business partner faces jail, financial ruin
2022-03-29
[NYPOST] Hunter Biden’s former best friend, Devon Archer, has been betrayed and abandoned by the Biden family — and who could blame him for feeling aggrieved?

The president’s son, who once told Archer he was "part of a great family — not a sideshow, not deserted by them even in your darkest moments," won’t return calls to his former business partner.

Now, barring a last-ditch appeal by his lawyer, Archer has less than five weeks left before he has to go to jail to serve a one-year, one-month sentence over a fraud he says he had no knowledge his then-partners were committing, and which cost him his life’s savings.

Friends who attended the sentencing in Manhattan last month say that the father of three has mentally prepared himself for prison, and that his hopes for a presidential pardon have faded.

Prosecutors from the Southern District of New York two weeks ago rejected Archer’s arguments to postpone prison time and the forfeiture of his assets, warning that if his sentencing appeal is successful, "he might well receive a higher sentence."

#5  Well, consider this scenario: The dem brain trust decides very soon now that Joe will not be their candidate in 2024. That means Hunter must be rushed through the court system and convicted of whatever he is to be pardoned of before Joey's single term ends in January 2025. It would be risky to assume that any incoming dem successor would have any incentive to damage their own credibility by issuing a pardon to Hunter. There also exists the risk, however minor, that the next president won't be a dem at all. Should that occur, there will be no incentive whatsoever to pardon Hunter at all.

#3  It reads as if he's so shocked the Bidens let him down. A tool like that was never favored by Darwin. One for the 'Friends of the democrats' deathpool.
