Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley reacted to Devon Archer’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee.

Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s longtime friend and business associate, appeared before the House Oversight Committee on Monday to testify on the Biden Crime Family – and he did not disappoint!

Here are some key takeaways from Devon Archer’s testimony per the House Oversight Committee:

When Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States, he joined Hunter Biden’s dinners with his foreign business associates in person or by speakerphone over 20 times. Devon Archer testified that the value of adding Hunter Biden to Burisma’s board was “the brand” and confirmed that then-Vice President Joe Biden was “the brand” and that the 20 phone calls were to sell “the brand.” Devon Archer admitted that “Burisma would have gone out of business if ‘the brand’ had not been attached to it.” Because of the Bidens’ involvement, people would have been intimidated to mess with Burisma legally. In December 2015, Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma, and Vadym Pozharski, an executive of Burisma, placed constant pressure on Hunter Biden to get help from D.C. regarding the Ukrainian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. Shokin was investigating Burisma for corruption. Hunter Biden, along with Zlochevsky and Pozharski, “called D.C.” to discuss the matter. Biden, Zlochevsky, and Pozharski stepped away to make the call. This raises concerns that Hunter Biden was in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Joe Biden was dialed into a dinner in Paris with a French energy company and in China with Jonathan Li, the CEO of BHR. Then-VP Biden also had coffee with Li in Beijing and even wrote a letter of recommendation for college for Li’s daughter. Archer confirmed Joe Biden was referred to as “my guy” by Hunter Biden. In 2014, then-VP Biden attended a business dinner with Hunter & his associates at Café Milano in D.C. Elena Baturina, a Russian oligarch who is the widow of the former mayor of Moscow, was an attendee. Notably, the Biden Admin’s public sanctions do not contain Baturina.

Jonathan Turley appeared on Fox News to discuss Archer’s damning testimony.

“This is shaping up to be one of the greatest corruption scandals in the history of Washington, and that is saying a lot,” Turley told Fox anchor Neil Cavuto.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has reportedly asked Coinbase, America’s largest crypto exchange, to halt trading in all cryptocurrencies other than flagship token Bitcoin.

Cryptocurrency is a type of digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security. Unlike traditional currencies like the US Dollar or Euro, cryptocurrencies are decentralized, meaning they’re not issued or controlled by a central authority such as a government or financial institution.

Instead, they are governed by technology called blockchain, which is a distributed ledger enforced by a network of computers around the world, according to Investopedia.

The revelation was made by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, during an interview with the Financial Times.

Armstrong explained that the request came before the SEC’s legal action against Coinbase for its alleged failure to register as a broker.

The regulatory body has identified 13 cryptocurrencies traded on Coinbase’s platform as securities, arguing that the platform falls under its jurisdiction by offering these tokens to its customers.

However, the SEC’s prior recommendation to Coinbase to delist all tokens except Bitcoin, out of the more than 200 tokens offered on the platform, signals a significant push by the SEC, under chair Gary Gensler, to claim more authority over the crypto industry, according to FT.

“They came back to us, and they said . . . we believe every asset other than bitcoin is a security,” Armstrong told FT.

“And, we said, well how are you coming to that conclusion, because that’s not our interpretation of the law. And they said, we’re not going to explain it to you, you need to delist every asset other than bitcoin,” he added.

The CEO indicated that complying to such a request could have set a precedent that might have jeopardized the operations of most American crypto businesses unless they registered with the SEC.

In his view, it would have meant the end of the US crypto industry.

“We really didn’t have a choice at that point, delisting every asset other than bitcoin, which by the way is not what the law says, would have essentially meant the end of the crypto industry in the US,” said Armstrong.

“It kind of made it an easy choice . . . let’s go to court and find out what the court says,” he added.

On Monday, a representative for the SEC responded to FT, stating that the agency “does not ask companies to delist crypto assets.”

“In the course of an investigation, the staff may share its own view as to what conduct may raise questions for the Commission under the securities laws,” the spokesperson said.

While the Coinbase representative did not contradict Armstrong’s claims, they did say the FT report “omits important context regarding our conversations with the SEC.”
