This is far from the first time that one of Republicans’ star witnesses in the Biden corruption investigation has completely debunked their claims. One such witness was Devon Archer, another of Hunter’s business partners. In his testimony, Archer said he was “not aware of any” wrongdoing by the president and said he disagreed with the allegation that Biden accepted a bribe. Republicans then refused to let Democrats introduce Archer’s testimony as evidence during a September hearing.

This is the last paragraph and it's golden. Incredible how they refused to allow the evidence to be introduced - given that it wasn't the evidence they were hoping for...

To wit: this is why they did not want to give him a public hearing.

Which is weird, because they seem to really enjoy looking at pictures of his dick in public settings.

That would be a pubic hearing

They wouldn't mind giving him a public sounding.

"Your Honor, I object!"

"Why?"

"Because it's devastating to my case!"
