Several bombshells dropped by two IRS whistleblowers on Thursday reveal, among other things, that Joe Biden’s DOJ buried evidence of Hunter Biden’s tax crimes – and stopped US Attorney David Weiss from bringing charges against Hunter in two different jurisdictions last year.
According to Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO), Weiss sought to be appointed as a special counsel in the case last year but was denied as well.
What’s more, the IRS sought felony charges against Hunter, send their recommendations to the Biden DOJ, and they ‘came out as two misdemeanors,’ Byron York tweets.

According to the whistleblowers, one of whom is Gary Shipley – who came forward weeks ago to reveal his identity, the IRS was notified of potential evidence “in the guest house of former Vice President Biden,” but were rebuffed by US Attorney Lesley Wolf, who said there was “no way,” as search warrant “would ever get approved.”

“Whistleblowers describe how the Biden Justice Department intervened and overstepped in a campaign to protect the son of Joe Biden by delaying, divulging, and denying an ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s alleged tax crimes,” said Smith in a statement. “The testimony shows tactics used by the Justice Department to delay the investigation long enough to reach the statute of limitations, evidence they divulged sensitive actions by the investigative team to Biden’s attorneys, and denied requests by the U.S. Attorney to bring charges against Biden.”

During seven hours of testimony before the Ways and Means Committee, Shipley and the other whistleblower’s testimony implicates both AG Merrick Garland and IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel for lying to Congress about political interference in the Biden probe.

“Whistleblower One’s story was corroborated by Whistleblower Two,” said Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK).
“One individual came forward and laid out the full case of what’s going on. The second individual, through his attorney, asked Ways and Means to contact him and ask for testimony. So we didn’t seek these, they sought us,” added Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC).
As Techno Fog notes via The Reactionary:
With the rejection from the DC US Attorney, the team sought the approval to bring tax charges for years 2016-2019 in the Central District of California. Shapley concluded that “the Central District of California declined to allow charges to be brought there.”
The rejection to bring charges in DC and California stands in stark contrast to the testimony of Attorney General Garland, who in March of 2023 stated that US Attorney Weiss had the full authority to “bring cases in other jurisdictions.” Garland also said that he personally would ensure that Weiss could “carry out his investigation and that he [would] be able to run it.” Both those statements now appear to be false. (Your humble author thinks the Republicans knew Garland was making misrepresentations at the time.)
…
Preferential treatment of Hunter Biden might be an understatement. In reality, it was sabotage, the affirmative effort to decline investigative steps and deny prosecutors the ability to bring charges. The DOJ’s conduct included:
“included slow-walking investigative steps, not allowing enforcement actions to be executed, limiting investigators’ line of questioning for witnesses, misleading investigators on charging authority, delaying any and all actions months before elections.”
Prosecutors even wanted to remove Hunter Biden’s name from electronic search warrants and document requests, even though this could cause investigators to not get certain evidence.
Joe Biden was in the room
In another piece of evidence presented on Thursday, Hunter Biden can be seen in a message to Chinese business associate, Henry Zhao, demanding that they send money as promised.
“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,” wrote Hunter via WhatsApp on July 30, 2017. “Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight.”
Hunter then warned that “if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”

…That is only the latest contradiction of President Biden that he had no knowledge or involvement in his son’s business dealings. The whistleblower states that the DOJ and FBI actively slow walked and interfered with their investigation of Hunter…

And back to the embargo on the Hunter Biden laptop story…

all known long before. only confirmed now to shift public attention away because of ukraine proxy war going bad for the us. and with no consequence for biden as us justice, media etc. are fully under democrat monoculture control.
thats not good diversion for war. either its about exposing double standard vs trump, about internal deepstate struggle (we remember biden secret paper story coming and going similarly), or about fatigue & desinsentivise the readers: as we see nothing happens, we no longer give attention so when something real comes, we may miss it
it’s a great diversion for us conservatives. they can now claim to have “gotten” to biden in the end. but nothing serious will happen to the “big guy” and the ukraine money laundering scheme. in the same way hunter biden was hyped up the war issue will now become moot as the media shifts attention away. as the us-establishmend only cares about 2024 and the elections.
weren’t at least some of hunter biden’s crimes committed before or under trump? so why didn’t trump’s doj pursue them? as george carlin put it, “it’s a big club.” team red is up in arms over the bidens’, clintons’ and obama’s crimes but silent or in denial about the trumps’, supreme court’s and mcconnell’s; and vice versa for team blue.
hunter biden’s a total scumbag. what else is there to know?

americans are addicted to being lied to.
there should be no doubt by now that the u.s.a. and e.u. are lead by the nwo crime syndicate . the sleazy biden criminals are the nwo style of leadership for the world..without change the future is very dark for everyone.
our country is being run by the biden crime family.
there are many more criminal families above them, sadly. the world is really an unfathomably disgusting sewer.
group narcissism could be a concept worth thinking about as an explanation of russians’ current behavior. narcissists are characterized by a distorted self-image, which is nurtured all the more carefully when its vulnerability is obvious on the other hand.
russians have largely based their sense of self-worth on the fact that they are at least feared. russia is not to be trifled with! sensitive self-esteem, which reflects an inferiority complex, is wounded when its foundations are broken.
more circus from the ziomafia parasites owned mass media and their corrupt stooges in washington.
