Fox News’ The Five descends into chaos when confronted with Devon Archer’s actual testimony

JESSICA TARLOV (CO-HOST): Now to Devon Archer. So the testimony — and he wasn’t under oath but he still wasn’t allowed to lie to them — was terrible for the Republicans. Jim Comer didn’t even show up to thank — well, let’s use real words then instead of laughing or saying, “Come on.” He was asked, if someone concluded from the 1023 form — that you all think is so important — that Joe Biden was bribed, would you disagree with that? “Yeah, I would.” Devon Archer said that.
JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): What does he know about that?
JEANINE PIRRO (CO-HOST): Yeah, how does he know?
TARLOV: Well, then he doesn’t matter. Then Devon Archer is either the crux of the puzzle that shows that this is a mob family or he doesn’t matter. He said that Viktor —
PIRRO: No, it matters if he’s in the middle of it. If he’s in the middle of a dinner, then it matters. If it’s something that he’s not there, then it doesn’t matter.
TARLOV: Okay. Viktor Shokin was not good for Burisma, as I’ve been telling you, as it’s been widely reported, as the entire western world —
GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): Why? Why?
TARLOV: Because he wasn’t investigating corruption —
WATTERS: Yes, he was.
TARLOV: No, he wasn’t.
WATTERS: He was seizing their cars.
TARLOV: Guys —
PIRRO: Well, wait a minute. Then what was he doing? What was Shokin doing?
TARLOV: I’m so glad that you’re back. Okay, hold on one second.
PIRRO: That’s not good.
TARLOV: Did Hunter ever ask Joe to take any official actions? Devon Archer: “He did not.” They were —
PIRRO: How would he know? They talked —
WATTERS: How does he know? They talk on the phone every day.
TARLOV: Then what is the —
PIRRO: That’s the whole point.
TARLOV: Also, the calls — there were 20 calls over the course of a decade — he said more than just the weather. He said they did talk about family and fishing. There’s a new —
WATTERS: That was a wink and a nod. Did you see the interview? He said, “Yeah, yeah, we talked about the weather.”
TARLOV: You guys will say anything. Okay —
WATTERS: No, that’s what he said.
TARLOV: There’s a new oversight menu — memo that’s out today, which again does not explain what services were provided by the Bidens —
WATTERS: Exactly. Exactly. Why is he getting the money?
PIRRO: He doesn’t have any services.
TARLOV: Then what did they do?
WATTERS: Exactly. We’re asking the same question.

WATTERS: They fired the prosecutor. They got the Chinese kid in the school.
