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...

During the hottest month in 100,000 years? I call malarkey.
No Joke...
The DoJustUs is back pedaling.
[Buncha fascists...]
81 million people can be wrong.
They don’t wish it......now that it has been called out and has proved politically embarrassing for them..........
BTTT
The same doj that does midnight raids, grabs phones, negates what they choose and plea bargains for fake evidence.

(Just trying to stay ahead of the curve...)
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.
At least the plea deal was semi-hidden . . .
“behind closed doors” The dems and complicit media will spin whatever he says as a big nothing burger.
“81 million people can be wrong.”
81 million people or 81 million votes? There is a difference, you know.
So the Biden people (administration, DOJ, FBI, et al) impersonated a United States Congressman in an attempt to hide evidence from a federal judge and then lied about.
The same people try to sneak an immunity in perpetuity, got caught by the same judge, and then lied about it.
And again, those same people tried to prevent a witness from testifying before Congress about their scumbag client and his daddy, by incarcerating the witness. Got caught and lied about it.
“Someone has to go to prison, Ben.” . . .
Old very true adage in politics: When you are explaining you are not winning.
This is a very good sign.
Damian Williams is just another black, evil Democrat who will sell their souls for the party.
81 million people or 81 million votes? There is a difference, you know.
Well, 81 million votes didn't go wrong - they accomplished exactly what the Deep State wanted.
It took 10 days to get to the beach? Were they in a horse and buggy?
McCarthy,
Funds run out on the government on October 1, unless You vote for more money for them. Have you done so? No ticket no money, and we wouldn’t want these woke corrupt anti Americans to find their trough empty now would we?
what they REALLY mean is they got caught before they could Epstein Mr. Archer so the backing off was to save a tiny bit of one of doj’s faces.
