Investigation into Hunter Biden may have lost all air after much-hyped witness is a bust

Devon Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, testified before the House Oversight Committee on Monday after the Republican Party, from the top down, promised Archer’s testimony would blow the lid off what they have used conspiracy theories to bring into existence: President Joe Biden is the head of an organized crime family. Over the weekend, scumbags like Sen. Ted Cruz stood in front of cameras implying that the Biden administration was “dramatically” changing its story in anticipation of this explosive upcoming testimony.

By all accounts, Archer’s testimony was what the kids call a “bust.” Archer reportedly did testify that Hunter Biden called and even spoke with his famous father on speaker phone in front of both friends and business acquaintances, but according to Archer, they never spoke about business. These phone calls were the social calls a father takes from his son.

Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman spoke with reporters about Archer’s testimony and summed up the desperation of the Republican position, saying that it was “kind of a preposterous premise to think that a father should not say hello to the people that a son is at dinner with and that is literally all the evidence is.” Goldman went on to remind the public that regardless of what the former silent Ohio State University wrestling coach Jim Jordan thinks, Congress is supposed to be doing important work in service of the American people, “and this investigation is a complete waste of time.”

So how are people responding to this unexploded dud?
