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.

    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.

                    Conservatives. Same as always.

                    Democrat or Republican are shorhands nowadays, but the real problem is people who cant move on, when the world did.

                    Conservatism is the problem. And today, all Republicans are just entirely and idealogically that, while maybe some Democrats are to a slight degree. But practically nothing in comparisson.

                    Dont be Conservative. Move on. Or get left behind, like their ideas they desperately cling to.
