DOJ tries to jail key Hunter Biden witness Devon Archer on eve of congressional testimony
NY Post ^ | 7/30/23 | Ryan King

Posted on 07/30/2023 11:39:14 AM PDT by Libloather

The Justice Department is pushing for Devon Archer to report to prison - just days ahead of the former Hunter Biden business partner’s hotly anticipated congressional testimony, according to new court documents.

Manhattan federal prosecutors on Saturday filed a letter requesting a judge set a date for Archer to start his one-year sentence in a fraud case unrelated to the first son’s various scandals.

The request came after the Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed Archer’s 2018 conviction last Tuesday on two felony charges for his role in a conspiracy to defraud a Native American tribe.

Archer - who is set to deliver closed-door testimony to the House Oversight Committee on Monday about Biden - had been challenging the conviction.

His attorney, Matthew Schwartz, said he would be filing a formal response to the request from the US Attorney’s Office by Wednesday - and noted that his client would still testify as planned despite allegations the DOJ letter was an intimidation tactic.

“We are aware of speculation that the Department of Justice’s weekend request to have Mr. Archer report to prison is an attempt by the Biden administration to intimidate him in advance of his meeting with the House Oversight Committee,” Schwartz said in a statement, per Politico.

“To be clear, Mr. Archer does not agree with that speculation,” Schwartz added. “In any case, Mr. Archer will do what he has planned to do all along, which is to show up on Monday and to honestly answer the questions that are put to him by the Congressional investigators.”

Schwartz has argued it was “premature” to pick a jail date as the 58-year-old mulls potential appeal options.

If he isn’t killed in jail...can’t he still be a witness?

Of course, he knew.

He, probably got a cut.

Peter Schweitzer laid it out in Secret Empires 4 years ago.

Even if they don’t get it this is a big time intimidation move meant to scare the hell out of this guy. Basically saying wait till we get our hands on you.

That Matthew Schwartz is some great lawyer.

President Trump should interview him, he sure could use strong support.

“They need a double to walk in and quietly bring him in disguised as a cop or something. Otherwise, he gets taken out by the DOJ”

No. Just tons of cameras. Even Merrick Garland is evil enough to grab someone on the capitol steps about to testify before congress.

Beria and Stalin couldn’t hold a candle to Garland, Holder and Bidementia.

Look you want to look like fools. I won’t stop you. Name calling never impressed me. I look to facts and reality. Dreamers never make it.

I think the nude swimming was at the VP’s residence at the Naval Observatory.

Try? Try? You mean WILL! This is a sure bet…archer is TOAST! And our stupid reps just sit there like idiots….they were bamboozle. They should have mediately called an emergency hearing, and brought that guy in for testimony tonight. Bastards don’t have any smarts in them …they are like Deers in the headlights!

Jailing Devon Archer runs much deeper than the Bidens.

Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz (John Kerry's stepson) founded a company called Rosemont Seneca Partners, a private equity business, with Devon Archer as "Managing Partner."

Rosemont Seneca Partners was the company that became a 20% owner-partner with BHR Partners, the company controlled by the Bank of China. BHR Partners was the company that laundered money from the Chines Communist Party into Rosemont Seneca Partners, or more specifically, to Hunter Biden, Chris Heinz, and Devon Archer.

Archer is the least politically connected since he was only close friends with Chris Heinz. Sending Archer to prison protects both Joe Biden and John Kerry.

I suspect that Archer's testimony will also connect Kerry to the Biden Crime Family.
