Someone Is Lying

We’re learning more about the Deep State’s corruption from the courageous IRS whistleblowers who were removed from the Hunter Biden tax investigation by orders of the Justice Department. 

It turns out that one of the whistleblowers, Gary Shapley, attended a meeting on October 7, 2022, with U.S. Attorney David Weiss and other top officials involved in the Hunter Biden investigation. 

What Weiss told the investigators stunned Shapley.  He left the meeting and immediately “memorialized” it in email messages with other attendees. 

According to Shapley, “Weiss stated that he is not the deciding person on whether charges are filed.  I believe this to be a huge problem—inconsistent with DOJ public position and Merrick Garland testimony.” 

Shapley also noted that Weiss had attempted to charge Hunter in Washington, D.C., based on his residency at the time when certain crimes were committed, but he was blocked by the Biden-appointed U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

Weiss requested special counsel authority, but that too was blocked by “Main DOJ” or the Department of Justice, and Weiss was told to “follow the process.”  Translation:  “Stay in your lane and do as your told!” 

As a result of this interference, Weiss concluded that he was unable to charge Hunter outside of Delaware, and that the statute of limitations on certain felony tax charges related to Biden’s dealings with Burisma had expired.  In other words, the Deep State’s interference successfully “ran out the clock” on some of the most serious offenses.

Remember, the Hunter Biden investigation began in November of 2018.  It’s now June of 2023.  It wouldn’t take five years for a team of IRS agents to investigate anyone else accused of tax fraud.

IRS Agent Darrell J. Waldon, who attended the October meeting, replied back to Shapley, “Thanks Gary. You covered it all.” 

Attorney General Merrick Garland continues to insist that Weiss has “full authority” to prosecute the case against Hunter Biden.  Predictably, Garland also insists that criticism of the Biden Justice Department is an “attack on democracy.” 

Curiously, in a letter to members of Congress earlier this month, U.S. Attorney David Weiss also insisted that he had “ultimate authority over this matter.” 

Well, someone is clearly lying.  There’s little motivation for Mr. Shapley and other IRS whistleblowers to risk their careers and reputations. 

Was Weiss pressured by the Justice Department to back up Merrick Garland’s lie?  That seems far more likely.
