Biden's DOJ backs down and says it did NOT call for Devon Archer to be jailed BEFORE testimony today which could implicate Joe in son Hunter's shady business deals - after 'odd' letter on Saturday

The Justice Department on Sunday told a New York judge they do not wish to see Hunter Biden's former business associate imprisoned before he testifies about their schemes.

Devon Archer is due to testify to Congress, behind closed doors, on Monday.

It was suggested that the Justice Department wanted him arrested first, but on Sunday they wrote a letter clarifying that he must be free to testify before any such steps are taken.

The Department of Justice sent an 'odd' letter to a judge Saturday urging an expedited sentencing for Archer - for an unrelated fraud conviction - in what was seen as a last-minute attempt to stop his testimony.

Republicans say the move by DOJ was an attempt to 'intimidate' Archer, who they view as being central to providing information that is critical to their ongoing investigation into the Biden family's business dealings.

Top Republican James Comer said Sunday that DOJ's highly unusual action on a Saturday was an attempt to 'intimidate' the witness he says key to getting to the bottom of the president's son's shady overseas business deals.

He said on Fox's Sunday Morning Futures: 'It's odd that it's right before he's scheduled to come in to have an opportunity to speak in front of the House Oversight Committee and tell the American people the truth about what really went on with Burisma.'

Hours later, the Justice Department issued a new letter saying they never intended to see Archer locked up before he testified to Congress.

Joe Biden on Sunday appeared the picture of calm on Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, despite reports that Archer plans to implicate Joe in his son's foreign business schemes.

Archer is expected to provide details that will challenge the White House's insistence that Joe Biden never had any knowledge of or involvement...

It doesn’t look like intimidation at all...nah, only the DOJ coming after you.

Let me see if I’ve got this right:
Devon Archer was a business partner of Hunter Biden.
He’s going to prison for crimes committed.
Hunter Biden, the president’s son, is walking around free.
So is the President, who claims he wasn’t involved…

I’m I’m still sucking down coffee, trying to get my mind awake this morning.

The letter served its purpose. Archer will give a good impersonation of Frankie Fiveangels testifying after seeing his brother sitting with Tom Hagen and Michael.

Joe Biden on Sunday appeared the picture of calm on Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, despite reports that Archer plans to implicate Joe in his son's foreign business schemes.

Joe Biden is calm because he has dementia, doesn't fully understand the implications here. I'm starting to think he steps down at the convention and the superdelegates vote for Whitmer.

We are All Along the Watchtower and Babylon is falling.

[bluescape]

“Yeah, but they tried. It was a blatant, in your face attempt to by the DOJ and the Biden administration to prevent the testimony of Archer, as well as intimidate him (and anybody else that thinks about testifying against the mob). Pure and simple.”

This is the furthest we’ve ever come in our efforts to reveal and hold accountable the corruption in the dim party and deep state. And subsequently the liberal media.

We’re watching real time hail marys daily by the dims because they’re watching everything begin to circle the drain.

Everyone here imagine for a second how deep the corruption would be right now if hillary had been ‘elected’. Sorry about your breakfast.

[Starboard]

Funds run out on the government on October 1

***************

McCarthy and the Repukes will wail about the rising debt and endless spending but they will fold like they always do.

[mware]

Just shaking my head. Do they really think we are that stupid?

[mware]

It’s their MO. Remember when they raided that guys house while he was actually testifying before Congress.

[Hiddigeigei]

"Archer is expected to provide details that will challenge the White House's insistence that Joe Biden never had any knowledge of or involvement..."
The DOJ just reminded Archer that they are going to arrest him (and what happens to him then depends on what he tells Congress).

[mware]

Hope that door has a keyhole. I want to know what is going down in there.

[RoseofTexas]

Ever case against Trump by the DOI SHOULD BE DROPPED!!! These scummy bastards are so corrupt they need to shut down ALL cases against Trump. It is so obvious all those indictments are fake corrupt cases to obstruct him from running again. It’s called election interference., and those POS along with Garland need to be thrown in prison! The Republicans at the hill have the power to toss those bastards out by impeaching Garland and defunding the weaponized anti-American people “DOI” nazi corrupt hell hole!

Does anyone believe the thugs, goons and perverts who run the DOJ?

[Vaduz]

Sounds like the DOJ may be facing some funding issues from Congress aka thumb screws for the the truth.

FIB next in line not keen on idea of new building being built in Alabama.
