Sometimes I find it helpful when another news agency quotes and bases their story on another agencies original story, to look that article up as well and see what was all said.
Here is the article Foxnews was sourcing.
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/07/30/devon-archer-hunter-biden-testimony-00108902I was surprised to find additional information.
For example.. Archers appeal was ruled on earlier in the week ... it was related to a conviction from 2018 in an unrelated case.
"A jury in 2018 convicted Archer of two felonies for his role in a conspiracy to defraud a Native American tribe, but his 2022 sentence has been repeatedly postponed amid a long-running series of appeals."
And
"The court isn’t expected to make a decision before Archer will meet behind closed doors with the House Oversight Committee, meaning that even if the court ultimately sides with the request Archer wouldn’t have to report to prison before the meeting."
It seems the DOJ earlier requested Archer's lawyers provide a date for turning himself in. They ignored the request.
"Matthew Schwartz, Archer’s attorney, also rejected the notion that there’s any connection between Archer’s tiff with the Justice Department and his potentially imminent jail time.
“We are aware of speculation that the Department of Justice’s weekend request to have Mr. Archer report to prison is an attempt by the Biden administration to intimidate him in advance of his meeting with the House Oversight Committee,” Schwartz said in a statement. “To be clear, Mr. Archer does not agree with that speculation. In any case, Mr. Archer will do what he has planned to do all along, which is to show up on Monday and to honestly answer the questions that are put to him by the Congressional investigators.”
Maybe it's not fishy at all?
