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.

    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.

      But only one group will hang you for angering them.

      And its not the Democrats…

        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.

          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.

                    i’m not. there aren’t two sides. the democrats were the party of lynching. i would produce 3 democrats for every republican you can name that did it.

                    the democrats are bad. this is true whether republicans ever existed or continue to exist.

                    he’s another one. but both are well-known democrats.

          The conservatives did all the lynching. The right wing people of the right wing reactionary Democratic Party of the time.

          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.

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

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