‘Selling Access To Our Enemies For Decades': The Latest On James Comer's Biden Crime Family Investigation
[WIRE] House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) is using his power to investigate every nook and cranny of the Biden family, and revealed his latest thoughts on the matter on Friday. Some conservative movement allies say that he deserves credit, but also that Congress’ job isn’t done yet.

On Friday, Comer told Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) what his committee’s next steps are and provided some key insight into the matter, as reported by the New York Post.

"We have more bank records that we’ve received," Comer said to Cruz on his podcast "The Verdict."

"We’re working on a third memorandum," he said. "They will show transactions from Ukraine and Russia."

Comer has always been quick to point out that his committee’s work is ultimately about the president — not a deep-dive of the president’s sons or family members’ personal problems.

To that extent, Comer said, "Joe Biden has been selling access to our enemies for decades — long before [first son Hunter Biden] was involved."

The Post also noted that the Kentucky Republican also claimed that he believed that family bribes could explain many of the mind-boggling decisions as president.

"I think there are certain policy decisions that Joe Biden has made since he’s been president that the only explanation can be because of the money his family received," Comer added.

This is extremely suspicious in light of the war that is currently raging between Ukraine and Russia.

Government Corruption
Hunter Biden put then-VP dad Joe on the phone with business associates at least 2 dozen times, ex-partner Devon Archer to testify
[NYPost] Hunter Biden would dial in his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone into meetings with his overseas business partners, according to testimony expected before Congress this week from Devon Archer, the first son’s former best friend.

Archer, 48, who is facing jail for his role in a $60 million bond fraud, is scheduled to testify to the House Oversight Committee about meetings he witnessed that were attended by Joe Biden either in person or via speakerphone when Hunter would call his father and introduce him to foreign business partners or prospective investors.

“We are looking forward very much to hearing from Devon Archer about all the times he has witnessed Joe Biden meeting with Hunter Biden’s overseas business partners when he was vice president, including on speakerphone,” said Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the committee chairman.

One such meeting was in Dubai late in the evening of Friday, Dec. 4, 2015, after a board meeting of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, which was paying Hunter $83,000 a month as a director.

Archer, who also was a director, is expected to testify that, after dinner with the Burisma board at the Burj Al Arab Hotel, he and Hunter traveled six miles north to the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach to have a drink with one of Hunter’s friends.

While they were sitting outside at the bar, Vadym Pozharskyi, a senior Burisma executive, phoned to ask where they were because Burisma’s owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, needed to speak to Hunter urgently.

‘CAN YOU RING YOUR DAD?’
Soon afterward, the two Ukrainians joined Hunter and Archer at the Four Seasons bar and Pozharskyi asked Hunter: “Can you ring your dad?” At the time it was early afternoon Friday in Washington, DC.

Hunter then called his father, put him on speaker, placed the phone on the table, and introduced the Ukrainians to Joe Biden by name as “Nikolai and Vadym.”

He also said words to the effect that the Burisma bigwigs “need our support.”

VP Biden greeted the Ukrainians but spoke only in vague pleasantries during the short call, and in other such interactions with Hunter’s overseas business partners, Archer is expected to testify.

Congressional investigators are expected to probe the reasons for Zlochevsky requesting the urgent phone call with Joe Biden.
