If the prosecutor isn’t fired, you’re not getting the cash.’ Effectively, son of a b—-. He got fired.”

“I feel Burisma would have gone out of enterprise if it didn’t have the brand connected to it,” Archer informed Home investigators on July 30. He elaborated that “the model” terminology arose “within the context of the Biden household.” Archer added that he meant “Nobody else within the Biden household.
