A week ago, outlets ran headlines about Hunter creating the 'illusion' of access to his

father. Now that the transcript of the Archer interview has been released which debunks the interpretation and lies the gop spun about the interview....crickets. No headlines on CNN or NYT about the transcript. No defense of potus...in the meantime Fox runs a huge headline banner about the transcript with their own cherry picked interpretation within the article.

1. By now why would you expect anything different from the M$M? (nt)

2. still amazing and important for people to realize. BTW, what is on CNNs front page aside from

the courthouse drama is a headline about how 70% of republicans believe Biden's election is illegitimate

3. Hey...one of the few outlets reporting on the transcript so far

republicans say the opposite of what the transcripts show. Not an opinion piece

That’s the pattern here. Comer and Jordan and others hype claims of Joe Biden’s involvement in Hunter Biden’s work only to see those claims collapse as more information is made public. Devon Archer’s testimony was hailed as a central breakthrough in implicating Joe Biden.

THIS ERA is about a Republican president and other Republicans being brought to justice for conspiring, and failing, to overthrow our government.

(Not "Hunter's laptop." Right?)

5. You're a bit off...

Archer confirmed the "Illusion of Access" concept and it was repeated by a DEM on the committee...

An "Illusion of access" and the "Biden brand" are NOT illegal.

As of now there is ZERO evidence that VP Biden EVER ACTED in concert with Hunter or Burisma.

Even IF Burisma paid Hunter $5m... if there was no quid pro quo... the GOP got nuthin'

There's no PROOF that VP Biden even knew what Burisma wanted from Hunter.

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), who attended the hours-long transcribed interview, said Archer testified that because Hunter Biden was under pressure from Ukrainian energy company Burisma, “he had to give the illusion — and he used that term, the illusion — of access to his father, and he tried to get credit for things that ...
