Startling claims of interference in the federal probe into Hunter Biden have recently emerged, raising serious concerns about the integrity of the investigation. Whistleblowers from the IRS have come forward, shedding light on alleged decisions influenced by politics during the course of the inquiry.
According to these whistleblowers, investigators were discouraged from interviewing President Biden’s grandchildren, despite the fact that the payments being investigated involved his children. The decision not to follow customary practices has led to suspicions of political motives behind the interference.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf reportedly warned against interviewing the President’s grandchildren, expressing concerns about the potential consequences for the investigators. Such hesitation to pursue necessary lines of inquiry raises questions about the impartiality of the investigation.
One of the whistleblowers, an unnamed IRS special agent, expressed the need to document meetings between IRS officials and U.S. Attorney David Weiss’ office due to inappropriate comments and political discussions that took place. These precautions were taken to safeguard against potential bias and political interference.
The whistleblowers also revealed that investigators referred to individuals connected to the matter in familial terms. For instance, Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, was referred to as “the uncle.” This familiarity raises concerns about the objectivity of the investigation.
Furthermore, the whistleblowers claim that Venmo transactions involving “family and friends” of Hunter Biden were deducted on his tax returns. Despite repeated requests to interview these individuals and ascertain the nature of these payments, the investigators’ efforts were consistently denied.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has refuted the allegations of DOJ interference, maintaining that the U.S. Attorney in Delaware had the authority to conduct the investigation. However, the whistleblowers argue that the U.S. Attorney faced limitations and marginalization from DOJ officials and other U.S. Attorneys, hampering the effectiveness of the inquiry.
The recent plea deal between the DOJ and Hunter Biden, in which he will plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax, has raised further questions. It is essential that a thorough and unbiased investigation is conducted to address these concerns and restore faith in our justice system.
The American people deserve transparency, accountability, and a justice system that upholds the principles of fairness and equality. We must ensure that political considerations do not compromise the pursuit of justice. A comprehensive investigation is necessary to shed light on the alleged interference and provide the American people with the truth they deserve.
