The whole world knows that Hunter Biden was given a slap on the wrist over what should have been felony charges for willful tax evasion, tax fraud, etc. And let’s not get into the treatment over the deliberate falsification of forms so that Hunter could purchase a firearm.
On Thursday, evidence released by the House Ways and Means Committee is quite astonishing in detail. In any normal political world, the stunning transcripts, testimony and statements of credible whistleblowers would destroy the top-tiers of any administration, including the President.
Of course, this is not a normal political landscape. Obama and friends have successfully separated the American public from their government. The Leftists in control of all levers of the government will continue as if all of this corruption that is being exposed is just business as usual. Anyone who objects will be scorned or worse. This is an existential threat to the very existence of our constitutional republic.
Sundance notes:
The evidence provided by direct testimony and through transcripts, emails and documents that support the testimony is comprehensive in scope. The White House and DOJ claimed that US Attorney David Weiss was able to conduct his investigation of Hunter Biden however he needed, but consider this revelation of how much Main Justice intervened to protect Hunter Biden:
“U.S. Attorney of Delaware David Weiss tried to bring charges in District of Columbia around March 2022 and was denied. Weiss sought special counsel status from DOJ in the Spring of 2022 and was denied. Weiss sought to bring charges in the Central District of California in the Fall of 2022 and had that request denied in January 2023.” (link)

The House ways and Means Committee released the following statement:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – A Ways and Means Committee executive meeting resulted in a vote to release to the public whistleblower testimony of two different IRS employees who worked directly on the tax evasion case of Hunter Biden. That testimony outlines misconduct and government abuse at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the investigation of Hunter Biden. The allegations point to a steady campaign of: unequal treatment of enforcing tax law; Department of Justice (DOJ) interference in the form of delays, divulgences, and denials, into the investigation of tax crimes that may have been committed by the President’s son; and finally, retaliation against IRS employees who blew the whistle on the misconduct.
Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08) released the following statement:
“Today, the Ways and Means Committee voted to make public the testimony of IRS employees blowing the whistle on misconduct at the IRS and the Biden Department of Justice regarding unequal enforcement of tax law, interference and government abuse in the handling of investigations into criminal activity by President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and retaliation against IRS employees blowing the whistle on this abuse.
“The American people deserve to know that when it comes to criminal enforcement, they are not on the same playing field as the wealthy and politically connected class. The preferential treatment Hunter Biden received would never have been granted to ordinary Americans.
“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. 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.
“IRS employees who blew the whistle on this abuse were retaliated against, despite a commitment IRS Commissioner Werfel made before the Ways and Means Committee to uphold their legal protections. They were removed from this investigation after they responsibly worked through the chain of command to raise these concerns.
“The Committee has acted in good faith with participation from both Democrats and Republicans, as the issues raised today ought to be a bipartisan concern. Hopefully we can find a path forward to continue to go where the facts lead us. If the federal government is not treating all taxpayers equally, or if it is changing the rules to engineer a preferred outcome, Congress has a duty to ask why and to hold agencies accountable and consider appropriate legislative action. The scales of justice must not be skewed in favor of the wealthy and the politically connected.”
This is way beyond not treating everyone the same. For example:
♦ Despite the fact that IRS officials recommended that Hunter Biden be charged with criminal activity that includes attempts to evade or defeat taxes, fraud and false statements, and willful failures to file returns, supply information, or pay taxes for over $8.3 million in income, Mr. Biden received preferential treatment in the course of the investigation, and has struck a plea deal that will likely keep him out from behind bars. Meanwhile…
♦ In 2014, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida announced that a man was sentenced to 13 months in prison to be followed by a year of supervised release for failing to file an income tax return, the same misdemeanor tax offense that Hunter Biden was charged with.
Let’s think about that. Someone will spend time in jail for failing to file a return. Compare that to what is happening to Hunter Biden for his much more serious crimes.

”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:
“….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.”
Doesn’t this make the Biden DOJ guilty of acting in a criminal manner as an accessory after the fact to the crimes under investigation?
Retaliation was taken against the IRS agents who came forward. Again, the Left believes that they control all aspects of the government and laws against such activity do not apply to them. No one within the DOJ is going to hold them accountable.
PDJT should lead the charge here and make a public statement recognizing these people as heroes and at the same time loudly encouraging other Republican candidates to do the same. At the same time they should encourage other whistleblowers to come forward and share the dirt they have on this evil, corrupt regime. We need to build a crescendo of pressure on the politicians in Washington to actually do something about this insanity.
One has to ask why all of this is breaking into the news now. Hunter’s plea deal and the House Ways and Means actions raise the specter that something more sinister is going on. Of course, it distracts from the absolute mess in Ukraine.
The Democrats may have painted themselves into a corner. Biden has become a liability to the UniParty. They cannot want to have the senile one at the top of the ticket. Are they hoping for an impeachment? The Republicans should point to the Democrats and say that it is their responsibility to initiate such proceedings for the “good of the country.” Not gonna happen, of course.
But the real question is where does the country go from here?
