Trump DOJ blueprint desired by Hunter Biden's ex-biz partner after last-minute pardon.

A former longtime friend and business partner of Hunter Biden discloses the blueprint he would like the Trump Department of Justice to implement after President Biden announced on Sunday that he was giving his son a full pardon.

Devon Archer, who served on Burisma's board with Hunter Biden, says he is optimistic about the Trump DOJ and looks forward to the future. When asked about the elder Biden's pardon, Archer called for the Trump DOJ to be an impartial institution again.

He stated that the DOJ should be free from personal or political biases, as it has been observed in recent years.

In 2018, a federal judge sentenced Archer to prison for allegedly defrauding a Native American tribe by fraudulently issuing $60 million in tribal bonds after being convicted by a jury.

In late 2018, U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams in Manhattan dismissed his conviction because she had "an unwavering concern that Archer is innocent of the crimes charged," as reported by Reuters.

In February 2022, Archer was sentenced to one year and one day in prison, and his conviction was reinstated by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals a month before the 2020 election.

Archer's lawyer, Matthew Schwartz, has maintained his innocence and said they intended to file a series of appeals, which has delayed Archer serving his sentence.

In February 2022, Schwartz stated that Mr. Archer was disappointed with today's sentence and planned to appeal. Unfortunately, the judge, who had previously expressed concern about Mr. Archer's innocence and reiterated that belief today, felt constrained not to act on her independent assessment of the evidence.

On Sunday, President Biden declared that he had granted his son, Hunter Biden, a pardon following his conviction in two separate federal cases earlier this year.

On Sunday night, the White House announced a pardon for offenses against the U.S. that Hunter Biden may have committed from January 1, 2014 to December 1, 2024. This pardon covers a decade-long window that includes Hunter's tenure at Burisma and other shady foreign business dealings.

""I issued a pardon for my son Hunter today, despite my pledge not to interfere with the Justice Department's decision-making and my observation of his unfair prosecution," Biden stated."

Republicans have criticized Hunter Biden's pardon, arguing that his business dealings while his father was vice president were illegitimate.

Last year, Archer testified before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and disclosed the commercial ties between Joe and Hunter Biden.

According to a transcript of the hearing, Archer claimed that Biden was put on the phone to promote "the brand" during phone calls with a French energy company in Paris and with Jonathan Li of BHR Partners, a state-backed private equity firm in China.

According to a source previously told Planet Chronicle Digital, Archer testified that there was value in adding Hunter Biden to Burisma's board as "the brand," with the argument being that then-Vice President Joe Biden brought the most value. Archer also stated that Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, would have gone under if not for "the brand."

Archer's testimony contradicted the claims made by the president, his 2020 campaign staff, and top White House aides that Biden never discussed his son Hunter's business dealings with him, which they made at least 20 times.

The president defended his son, Hunter Biden, in his Sunday statement, with Democrats maintaining that he did nothing wrong with his businesses.

"People are rarely brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form, except in cases where there are aggravating factors such as using the gun in a crime, making multiple purchases, or acting as a straw purchaser," Biden said. "Those who were late paying their taxes due to serious addictions but later paid them back with interest and penalties are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently."

Biden mentioned his son's addiction struggle and attributed the breakdown of Hunter's plea agreement to "political maneuvering."

"The 82-year-old father wrote that there has been an effort to break Hunter, who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough."
