 Hot water for Hunter Biden is reaching a boiling point

The walls are closing in on Hunter Biden.

 The US attorney in Delaware investigating his business affairs has been busy subpoenaing his bank records and calling in his ex-girlfriends to testify in front of a grand jury about his wild spending sprees.

Devon Archer, his former business partner, best friend and fellow Yale alum, faces sentencing Monday, four years after being convicted over a $60 million scheme to defraud one of the poorest Indian tribes in America.

Prosecutors from the Southern District of New York have recommended to US District Judge Ronnie Abrams that Archer serve 30 months in prison, the same as co-defendant Bevan Cooney.

But yesterday, Archer’s lawyer, Matthew Schwartz of Boies Schiller Flexner, asked Abrams for a non-custodial sentence, arguing Archer has suffered enough.

He “has been subject to pretrial supervision for nearly seven years during which he has a spotless record of compliance, has lived an otherwise exemplary life, and has already suffered greatly due to the collateral consequences of his arrest, trial and conviction.”

Hunter's business partner has been sentenced. Some tweets from @MirandaDevine:

Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner/best friend, was just sentenced in NY District Court to 1 year, 1 day in jail plus 1 year parole and $15m forfeiture for defrauding a Native American tribe. Only a presidential pardon will save him.

Archer’s slim blonde wife, podiatrist Dr Krista Archer, sat calmly at the back of courtroom 1506 in the Thurgood Marshall courthouse in downtown NYC during the sentencing hearing.

The government can seize property up to $14m. The couple own a townhouse in Brooklyn and a house at Quogue, in the Hampton’s. Prosecutors also say they have additional investment assets worth “more than several million dollars”.

Judge Ronnie Abrams said the crime was too serious for the non custodial sentence Archer’s lawyer requested. But the sentence was less than the 30 mths requested by prosecutors, parity with co-defendant Bevan Cooney. Judge Abrams cited COVID as a reason for the lesser sentence

Will Archer be ratting out Hunter? Will Papa Joe pardon him?
