THE TRUTH REVEALED: DOJ Planned To Let Hunter Biden Off the Hook Until...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) had initially intended to refrain from charging Hunter Biden until two whistleblowers came forward, unveiling political interference in the investigation, despite assertions made by Attorney General Merrick Garland. The New York Times brought to light the internal dealings between Hunter Biden's legal representatives and senior officials at the DOJ. These officials had constrained U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss, even as Attorney General Garland testified before Congress that Weiss had complete authority to act in the case.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 [View in browser]() [THE TRUTH REVEALED: DOJ Planned To Let Hunter Biden Off the Hook Until...]( [PatriotNewsToday]( Aug 22   [READ IN APP](   The Department of Justice (DOJ) had initially intended to refrain from charging Hunter Biden until two whistleblowers came forward, unveiling political interference in the investigation, despite assertions made by Attorney General Merrick Garland. The New York Times brought to light the internal dealings between Hunter Biden's legal representatives and senior officials at the DOJ. These officials had constrained U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss, even as Attorney General Garland testified before Congress that Weiss had complete authority to act in the case. The Times disclosed that the intervention of the whistleblowers halted the attempt to conceal the situation. However, Hunter Biden's legal team is now seeking the prosecution of these whistleblowers for exposing his preferential treatment—a move that contradicts President Biden's commitment to safeguard whistleblowers: Now, the I.R.S. agents and their Republican allies say they believe the evidence they brought forward, at the precise time they did, played a role in influencing the outcome, a claim senior law enforcement officials dispute. While Mr. Biden’s legal team agrees that the I.R.S. agents affected the deal, his lawyers have contended to the Justice Department that by disclosing details about the investigation to Congress, they broke the law and should be prosecuted. Earlier this year, The Times found, Mr. Weiss appeared willing to forgo any prosecution of Mr. Biden at all, and his office came close to agreeing to end the investigation without requiring a guilty plea on any charges. But the correspondence reveals that his position, relayed through his staff, changed in the spring, around the time a pair of I.R.S. officials on the case accused the Justice Department of hamstringing the investigation. Mr. Weiss suddenly demanded that Mr. Biden plead guilty to committing tax offenses. [Pledge your support]( As the testimony from the I.R.S. agents took hold, Mr. Biden’s legal team felt the ground shift beneath them. The U.S. attorney’s office suddenly went quiet. Prominent figures arising from The Times' account include Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf, accused of interfering on behalf of Hunter Biden, and Christopher J. Clark, a well-connected lawyer representing Hunter Biden. The whistleblowers, IRS Criminal Supervisory Special Agent Gary A. Shapley Jr. and IRS Special Agent Joseph Ziegler, informed the House of Representatives that prosecutors prevented them from pursuing tax-related offenses committed by Hunter Biden. They also alleged instances where Hunter Biden had been informed about impending searches or interviews. This resulted in a "favorable" plea deal that would have preempted further investigation into Hunter Biden's conduct—until federal judge Maryellen Noreika, appointed by Donald Trump, raised objections. Recently, Garland appointed Weiss as a Special Counsel in the case, arousing suspicions that the true motive was to prolong the cover-up. Charges were withdrawn from Noreika, ostensibly for future pursuit elsewhere, but potentially to avoid her jurisdiction. John’s Substack is free today.
