The Department of Justice (DOJ) under Joe Biden administration is making frantic bids in protecting US president’s scandalous son Hunter Biden from numerous charges, including corruption, running human trafficking and prostitution rackets etcetera. Reason behind such desperation of the DOJ is because the US federal agencies are aware that once Hunter Biden faces legal consequences, his scandals would involve few more big names, including his father Joe Biden, former Secretary of State John Kerry and even Victoria Nuland, as all of them had played active roles behind corruption centering Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
It may be mentioned here that Hunter Biden has been under investigation for his taxes for some time now – probably several years.
“A decorated supervisory IRS agent has reported to the Justice Department’s top watchdog that federal prosecutors appointed by Joe Biden have engaged in ‘preferential treatment and politics’ to block criminal tax charges against presidential son Hunter Biden” media report said.
That conflicts with Attorney General Merrick Garland’s claim that the decision on charges against Hunter Biden were being left to the US attorney for Delaware.
Just the News reported it obtained a letter from the whistleblower’s lawyer, Mark Lytle, to Congress that said the IRS worker has “detailed disclosures” about a “high-profile sensitive” case to give to Congress.
John Solomon, at Just the News, explained, “The letter does not state that the whistleblower disclosures are related to Hunter Biden. However, Just the News has confirmed the agent’s allegations involve the Hunter Biden probe being led by Delaware US Attorney David Weiss, a Trump holdover, according to multiple interviews with people directly familiar with the matter”.
The letter explains the subject was given “preferential treatment” and that “politics” infected the decision-making process.
The subject also, the letter said, is “politically connected”.
In a letter dated April 19, 2023 to Republicans and Democrats overseeing multiple oversight committees in Congress, Lytle wrote: “The protected disclosures: (l) contradict sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee, (2) involve failure to mitigate clear conflicts of interest in the ultimate disposition of the case, and (3) detail examples of preferential treatment and politics improperly infecting decisions and protocols that would normally be followed by career law enforcement professionals in similar circumstances if the subject were not politically connected”.
Two powerful House Committee chairmen vowed that they would investigate and hold the Biden administration accountable if they were involved in criminal activity. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said that “obstruction of justice” could have occurred.
“It’s deeply concerning that the Biden Administration may be obstructing justice by blocking efforts to charge Hunter Biden for tax violations”, Comer said in a statement to Just the News. “The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability has been following the Bidens’ tangled web of complex corporate and financial records”.
“It’s clear from our investigation that Hunter and other members of the Biden family engaged in deceptive, shady business schemes to avoid scrutiny as they made millions from foreign adversaries like China”, the statement continued. “We’ve been wondering all along where the heck the DOJ and the IRS have been. Now it appears the Biden Administration may have been working overtime to prevent the Bidens from facing any consequences”.
The IRS agent has a sterling record investigating tax crime across the globe, including work on high-profile Swiss Bank prosecutions, and has won several merit awards. His emergence now in such a politically charged case is certain to inflame a debate over unequal justice in Washington. The whistleblower originally approached the IRS’ internal watchdog and Congress late last year with the help of prominent Democrat lawyer Mark Zaid, who previously represented clients whose allegations about a call with the Ukrainian president led to Donald Trump’s first impeachment in 2019.
The agent subsequently hired Lytle, a former federal prosecutor with significant experience in prosecuting complex tax matters with the Justice Department’s Tax Division. Lytle also represented former Twitter head of Trust and Safety Yoel Roth in his recent congressional testimony and is currently defending a former FBI supervisor named Timothy Thibault who has been accused of pro-Biden political bias in anonymous whistleblower disclosures to the offices of Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson, and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan.
Lytle told lawmakers in his letter that the IRS agent has also disclosed his concerns to both the Treasury Department Inspector General for Tax Administration and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, the same watchdog who unmasked FBI abuses during the Russia collusion case.
People directly familiar with the case have described the disclosures to Just the News as focused primarily on improper politicization of the case at the Justice Department and FBI headquarters rather than at the IRS or Treasury Department.
Hunter Biden conceded as early as 2020 he’s under criminal investigation for tax matters and reports reveal a US$2 million payment was made on his “overdue tax bills” last year.
The agent already has, Lytle confirmed, expressed his concerns to the inspector general at the Treasury Department and the DOJ.
The report said career investigators twice have recommended a tax indictment against Hunter Biden, but “at least two Biden DOJ political appointees in US attorney’s offices have declined”.
