Devon Archer’s attorney said there isn’t enough time for his client to prepare for Wednesday’s hearing before two Republican-led House committees.

Devon Archer, a former business associate of Hunter Biden and a key witness in the GOP impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, has declined an invitation to appear at a public hearing Wednesday before a pair of Republican-led House panels.

Archer’s attorney Matthew Schwartz said Monday that there is not enough time for his client to prepare for the high-profile public hearing held by the House Oversight and Judiciary committees, according to a copy of a letter addressed to House Oversight counsel that was obtained by NBC News.

    So… Biden’s son used “do you know who my daddy is?” To try and further his business, the president never had any role in the business, and that’s enough for Republicans to m impeach him?

    Where were they when Trump kept using his businesses, still owned by him, to directly make money while he was president?

      And Trump overruled to get security clearances to give Jared and Ivanka access to secure information for the roles he gave them in his administration, no way Jared’s firm gets the 2billion Saudi investment without the close ties to the president

    He has already said he has no first hand knowledge. He’ll end up angering Republicans because he won’t make something up, and Democrats because he’s a waste of time.

        historically, this isn’t true. i know about the southern strategy and all, but i also think it’s worth pointing out who did all the lynching. fuck party loyalty.

          The people doing the lynching were doing it because they were Klan members, not because they were Democrats, and you know this.

            right, and being democrat was a part of their identity, as well. the comment to which i responded implied that democrats aren’t the party of lynching, but the facts just don’t bear that out.

          Who did the lynching???

          Say it with me: CONSERVATIVES

          Who’s still doing the lynching??

          Say it with me again for those in the back: CONSERVATIVES

          The party name is irrelevant.
          Nothing has changed.

          Extrajudicial killings based on perceived wrongs which in no way are proportionally punishable by death? Cops.

          Im not talking about hystorically, but right now…

          Is this some weak attempt at “both sides bad” again? Because we have a lot of that here on lemmy recently.

                  Strom was also a Republican from 1964 until his death.

                  If you’re trying to “both sides” this thing, Robert Byrd is the one you’re looking for. He was in the KKK at one point and died 10 years after Thurmond.

                  Conservatives have always been the problem, regardless of party.
