Hunter Biden investigators limited questions about 'dad,' 'big guy' despite FBI, IRS objections: whistleblower

[Social Media]

 

Justice Department investigators were "trying to limit" questioning related to Joe Biden as part of the investigation into Hunter Biden, despite objections from FBI and IRS officials, a whistleblower alleged.

The House Ways and Means Committee on Thursday released testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who said officials at the Justice Department, FBI and IRS interfered with the investigation of the tax evasion case against Hunter Biden. The whistleblowers said decisions in the case seemed to be "influenced by politics."

One whistleblower, Gary Shapley Jr., who was the supervisor of the investigation at the IRS, said that "at every stage" of the probe, decisions were made that "had the effect of benefiting the subject of the investigation." He cited several examples involving apparent references to Hunter Biden's father.

Lock them up and throw away the key!

[EVENKEEL]

And yet all the biden apologists here will scream that having a daddy pres didn't help. I'm not condemning it, just be nice to hear the truth.

[Yellowtail]

I'm truly shocked. 

[heybruce]

Investigate away.  I'm waiting for evidence of criminal activity, not opinions about how the questioning should have been done.

[bamnutsak]

I assume either/both Jordan's committee and/or Comer's will call this "whistleblower" in for televised testimony.

 

One would think they could put together a case, and forward it to the DoJ for prosecution? 

 

Note that we were told, what ten days ago, that there were recordings of Big-Guy Biden shaking down a Burisma Executive. And that seemed to be a false-hood.

Appears to me that the republicans are desperately scratching for anything to divert attention away from the trump debacle they have been hounding the only surviving son of President Biden just looks ugly and desperate to me

One obvious thing to investigate is how exactly Hunter Biden, reprobate crack addict, managed to acquire millions of dollars in income- enough to necessitate paying millions in tax (or NOT paying it).  

It is tough going when various branches of the government are at odds like seems to be the case here. It is very easy to gum up the investigation if they are not all working together. 

[riclag]

Imop its over for the bidens and others who Imop obstructed the investigations 

 

In his congressional interview, Shapley also alleged that there was a recovered WhatsAPP message from Hunter Biden dated July 30, 2017 that was addressed to a Chinese businessman with whom he was involved at the time about an outstanding payment. 

 

"I am sitting here with my father..we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled," Hunter Biden allegedly wrote, according to the transcript. He added,  "I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand" and "now means tonight."

What about proof instead of allegations?

 

What about the rule of law, or does that NOT apply to everybody?

 

Does that apply to Trump also?

 

What about substantiating charges through the courts of law and NOT just because YOU say so?

 

Just another useless post from another Trump supporter.

 

A MAGA believer who truly believes that Trump can do/has never done, anything wrong in his entire life.

 

 

The proof is the testimony by IRS Whistleblowers and leave Trump out of this thread

Fox "News" is not a credibly objective news source.

That's obvious from their recent massive settlement with Dominion.

Because when Hunter Biden makes an assertion, we can be sure that it's true?

And of course it could be literally true but still insignificant.

"Irregularities"?

 

IMOP, this clown (Shapely) should not be discussing this case in the public domain. 

 

Note that he cannot confirm that this is about Hunter Biden.

 

What's the endgame here? Does he owe more taxes?

Are you aware that "allegedly" is not proof and can not be used as evidence in court?

 

BTW:  How many allegedly claims have been made in the last couple of months regarding this subject?

It's easy to con someone who wants to buy the lie that you are selling.

 

One allegedly possible explanation is that some Chinese businessmen allegedly wanted to believe that they could buy access to Joe Biden through Hunter, and Hunter allegedly took them to the cleaners.

Grasping at anything they believe can deflect away from another Big investigation and indictment.  

[ozimoron]

Nothing screams partisan hack like behaving as a partisan hack.

 

Gary Shapley is now ghosting the Democratic-led IRS-oversight committee following its several-hour-long meeting with his attorney, and has called off a planned interview with the panel. “Committee staff on both sides agreed with counsel to meet directly with the whistleblower next week, however the whistleblower has since backed out of that agreement and declined an attempt to reschedule,” a source on the committee told The Independent.

 

Shapley’s distancing from the committee comes as he revs up to lay out evidence regarding his allegations before the GOP-controlled House Ways and Means Committee in a closed session Friday.

Then open up a Grand jury if this is all true, oh wait ........

The truth is not so simple. Just because investigating agents have found evidence they believe is sufficient to file charges does not mean that prosecutors will or should seek an indictment. The decision of whether to charge the younger Biden will be made by David C. Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware who was appointed by former President Donald Trump. Unlike other U.S. attorneys, he has not been replaced by Biden. Attorney General Merrick Garland has also promised not to interfere in Weiss’ decision. According to Garland, “We put the investigation in the hands of a Trump appointee from the previous administration.”

Yes, know the real solid truth about how the FBI / whatever agency went soft on Biden the president. Any links to solid reports?  

[bamnutsak]

Can somebody, anybody, tell me what the "allegations" are?

 

All I get from this attention-seeking media whore Shapley is that he alleges that "someone" (dark forces) held back the IRS investigation into Hunter Biden's late filing and payment of taxes. Who does he think orchestrated this conspiracy?

 

The IRS must have a whistle-blowing procedure. Does it involve doing an interview with CBS?

Compared to the Trump mafia clan, Hunter and Joe are boy scouts. It is amusing that the same people who scream about this, think nothing of the 45 years of bank fraud, tax fraud, stiffing of small contractors, and countless billions stolen by their Master.
