Flotsam and Jetsam - Devin Archer's Turn in the Barrel

Well, that was interesting. As you may be aware, if you kept up the reading, that Devin Archer, Hunter Biden's business partner, who had been previously been convicted of defrauding the Oglala Sioux nation in a scheme unrelated to Hunter Biden (as far as we know), and sentenced to prison, but has been out on bond pending appeal, was scheduled to testify to the House today on his business deals with Hunter and his dad. Fox, Devon Archer, the man who will testify to Congress about his business dealings with Hunter Biden: Who is he? "Archer is expected to testify about meetings with Hunter also attended by Joe Biden." Wendell Husebø@WendellHusebo "NEW: @JamesComer provides 3 revelations today: 1. Archer could become a “hero” after testifying Monday 2. Treasury has 12 more SARS related to Bidens Comer must review 3. Joe Biden has knowledge of family’s money laundering, racketeering."

Well, for some reason known only to DOJ, they chose Saturday (what bureaucrat works on Saturday?) to send a letter to the judge in Archer's case, telling him that it was high time they actually arrested Devin and put him in the slammer (despite the pending appeal). Gee, what ever could their motives be? To remind Devin that he'll soon be in their hands, and that he might not want to say anything to piss them off? To remind the public that he is, for now, a convicted felon, and pre-discredit him as a witness? Matt Margolis at PJM, Biden DOJ Threatens to Arrest Devon Archer Before Bombshell Testimony. Twitchy, DOJ's latest move (arresting Devon Archer?!) to protect Joe and Hunter Biden is their SHADIEST yet. 'Becca' Downs at Town Hall, 'Obstruction of Justice': DOJ Sends Letter on Archer's Jail Time Just Before Meeting With House Oversight (later updated to read DOJ Forced to Clarify Letter on Archer's Jail Time Just Before Meeting With House Oversight). Sundance at CTH calls it Suspicious Timing – DOJ Sends Letter Asking for Fast Sentence Against Hunter Biden Witness, Devon Acher (sic), on Eve of Congressional Testimony. Ryan King at NYPo, DOJ tries to jail key Hunter Biden witness Devon Archer on eve of congressional testimony. At Da Wire, Comer Hits DOJ Over ‘Odd’ Timing Of Letter Requesting Hunter Biden Business Partner Report To Prison. Nick Arama at Red State, Devon Archer's Attorney Releases Statement About DOJ 'Intimidation' Letter 

Schwartz said that they were aware of the speculation about the letter being an effort by the Biden administration to intimidate Archer. Schwartz said that “Archer does not agree with that speculation.” Schwartz said, “In any case, Mr. Archer will do what he has planned to all along, which is to show up on Monday, and to honestly answer the questions that are put to him by the Congressional investigators.”

It’s good if he doesn’t think that this is intimidation. Maybe he won’t be intimidated and will lay out the truth. It’s a lot to face, knowing the power that they might array against you. I hope that he’s not backing off. Let’s hope he sticks to his guns and doesn’t flip.

Then, finally, the DOJ issued a statement PM,  BREAKING: Biden's DOJ files NEW letter allowing Hunter's ex-business pal Devon Archer to testify in Congress Monday "The Government understands that the defendant is scheduled to provide testimony to Congress tomorrow, July 31, 2023." At Am Think Clarice thought about DOJ’s Dirty Deeds and that was before this one. Declan Leary at Am Con, Old Joe, Strong Joe "The rule of law seems to be receding in the rearview mirror with our doddering president behind the wheel." At Breitbart, Rep. Nancy Mace: I Believe ‘We Are Headed’ to a Biden Impeachment Inquiry

In a stunning admission, Hunter Biden ‘broke the law,’ Democrat Rep. Jim Himes says from NYPo. Fox,  Democrat congressman acknowledges it's 'clear' Hunter Biden broke the law: 'Should be held accountable'  'Becca' Downs again, It Looks Like Hunter Biden's Laptop Could Indeed Implicate His Father. At WaEx, Comer demands information about sale of Hunter Biden artwork to a presidential appointee.  David Burge@iowahawkblog "MAJOR ART MOVEMENTS OF THE PAST 100 YEARS: DeStijl Cubism, Abstract Expressionism, Dada, Surrealism, Color Field, Pop Art, Post Modernism, Meth Addicts Who Pick Up a Paint Brush For The First Time at Age 50 And Suddenly Sell Paintings To Their Fathers' Friends For $1 Million" To be fair, Hunter is a cocaine addict, not a meth addict.

Nick Arama again, House Oversight GOP Torpedoes Jamie Raskin's Propaganda About Hunter Biden Case With Perfect Response Oversight Committee@GOPoversight

Last night, Ranking Member Raskin wrote an 11-page letter accusing us of "concealing" the former FBI Special Agent's transcript from the Democrats … except, we emailed it to them 10 days ago after we received it. 

To save face, Raskin has resent his letter without those false accusations but now pretending not to know the Committee's operating procedure for releasing transcripts … You can't make it up.

The transcript is going through the normal review process where the witness and his/her counsel reviews it and is able to suggest any corrections needed. Once that process has been completed (and because in this case doing so mid-investigation will not harm upcoming investigative steps), we will release it.

To be clear, the former FBI Special Agent was interviewed by the Committee to offer independent verification of the events described in sworn testimony by the IRS whistleblowers. The transcript will show exactly that.

Debra Saunders at Am Spec speculates about Hunter Biden’s Day in Court "Beltway journalists have realized they can’t dismiss his legal problems as a GOP chew toy." 'Fuzzy Slippers' at LI, USA Today: Hunter Biden’s Alleged Influence Peddling, Underage Hooker Hopping, Tax and Gun Charges Are Mere “Foibles” "You can’t make this stuff up."

Madeleine Hubbard at JTN reports Hearing scheduled in Trump's bid to disqualify Fulton County DA from 2020 election probe "The former president is also seeking to quash the final grand jury report . . . Trump's motion is considered a longshot by legal experts, but the motion comes as Willis may be on the verge of asking a grand jury to issue indictments, possibly of the former president." Charlotte Hazard at JTN, Federal judge dismisses Trump's nearly half-billion dollar lawsuit against CNN. "Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Raag Singhal ruled on Friday that Trump could not sue the outlet for defamation." Curses, foiled again! Roger Kimball at Am Great, Enough With Half Measures, Throw All U.S. Code at Trump "Are we sure that Donald Trump, well known as a New York real estate developer, has strictly abided by all the provisions of the law?"

mrc TV reports Jason Aldean Quietly Scrubs ‘Try That In a Small Town’ Music Video of BLM Footage. He gave in.

According to TMZ, who first caught the change, the updated version of the music video omits footage of Black Lives Matter riots shot back in 2020, which had been overlayed with Aldean’s lyrics condemning violent protests, assaults on police, and rampant crime that’s taken over American cities. Leftwing critics, who seemed perfectly at ease with Black Lives Matter rioters torching cities across America for half of 2020, took issue with Aldean for supposedly inciting violence against Black people and glorifying guns.

Awfully rich coming from the pro-looting brigade that appeared fine with BLM thugs leaving the bloody bodies of elderly people and innocent children in the streets.
