An attorney for an IRS Whistleblower has approached Congress seeking to have this client disclose information under Whistleblower protection to Congress. While the letter doesn’t say who is the target, CBS News is reporting that it is about Hunter Biden.
From the CBS News report:
The attorney for an unnamed IRS criminal supervisory special agent says his client has asked Congress for protections to speak out about allegations that a years-long, high-profile and politically sensitive investigation has been hindered by “preferential treatment and politics,” according to a letter obtained by CBS News. That investigation is the one probing potential tax crimes by Hunter Biden, CBS News has learned.”My client wants to come forward to Congress,” said attorney Mark Lytle, who is representing the agent. He discussed his client’s allegations with CBS News chief investigative correspondent Jim Axelrod in an exclusive television interview set to air on tonight’s CBS Evening News and stream across all CBS platforms. “He’s ready to be questioned about what he knows and what he experienced under the proper legal protections.” ….According to Lytle, the IRS special agent is prepared to provide information that would “contradict sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee,” reveal failures to handle “clear conflicts of interest” in the case, and detail instances of “preferential treatment and politics improperly infecting decisions and protocols.”
CBS reports (here) that the “senior political appointee” whose sworn testimony is contradicted is Attorney Generl Merrick Garland.
John Solomon of Just The News reports on the Merrick Garland angle:
A decorated supervisory IRS agent has reported to the Justice Department’s top watchdog that federal prosecutors appointed by Joe Biden have engaged in “preferential treatment and politics” to block criminal tax charges against presidential son Hunter Biden, providing evidence as a whistleblower that conflicts with Attorney General Merrick Garland’s recent testimony to Congress that the decision to bring charges against Biden was being left to the Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney for Delaware….People directly familiar with the case have described the disclosures to Just the News as focused primarily on improper politicization of the case at the Justice Department and FBI headquarters rather than at the IRS or Treasury Department.Specifically, the agent has provided evidence that at least two Biden DOJ political appointees in U.S. attorneys’ offices have declined to seek a tax indictment against Hunter Biden despite career investigators’ recommendations to do so and the blessing of career prosecutors in the DOJ tax division.He also alleges that Weiss told agents on the case that the Delaware U.S. Attorney asked to be named a special counsel to have more independent authority in the probe but was turned down, according to interviews.The agent also alleged that specific DOJ employees placed strictures on questions, witnesses and tactics investigators may be allowed to pursue that could impact President Biden, according to the interviews.The sources said the agent’s decision to blow the whistle was prompted by sworn testimony from Garland that Delaware U.S. Attorney Weiss had full authority, free from political pressure, to pursue a case against Hunter Biden in any part of the country, according to interviews.
