IRS Whistleblowers Wanted Felony Charges for Hunter, But DOJ Buried Evidence Against Him

IRS Whistleblowers Wanted Felony Charges for Hunter, But DOJ Buried Evidence Against Him

The House Ways and Means Committee revealed that two IRS whistleblowers wanted to felony charges against Hunter Biden for missing tax payments, but the DOJ said NOPE.

Hunter made and received a sweetheart deal for not paying $2.2 million in taxes.

Can you imagine what you and I would get if we didn’t pay Uncle Sam?

Chairman Jason Smith (D-MO) said the testimonies provide evidence of “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.”

Smith’s statement continues:

“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.

I’ve attached the whistleblower testimonies and affidavits at the bottom. They’re long but worth the read.

Whistleblower #1

Whistleblower #1 told Congress that the case agent on Hunter’s “case is one of the best agents in the entire agency.” The whistleblower asserted, “Without his knowledge and persistence, DOJ would have prevented the investigative team from collecting enough evidence to make an informed assessment, which ultimately included even DOJ agreeing on the recommended criminal charges.”

The whistleblower mentioned that a lot of the evidence they needed would be found at Joe’s place, Lesley Wolf, Assistant United States Attorney, “said there is no way we will get that approved.” The agent in charge made it known cutting those corners made him uncomfortable, describing it as “unethical.” The Betters ignored him.

Then the whistleblower dropped that the prosecutors “wanted to remove Hunter Biden’s name from electronic search warrants, 2703(d) orders, and document requests.”

Department of Justice Tax Line Attorney Jack Morgan also confirmed without Hunter’s name, they’d likely get a warrant, but even then, they’d only get “‘most’ of the data we sought.” The whistleblower stated, “I have never been part of an investigation where only getting most of the data was considered sufficient.”

Whistleblower #2

Whistleblower #2 is the lead agent in the case mentioned by Whistleblower #1.

Whistleblower #2 began his investigation in November 2018 while looking at bank reports in another case regarding a social media company. He came across bank reports that “identified Hunter Biden as paying prostitutes to a potential prostitution ring.” Holy moly:

Also included in those bank reports was evidence that Hunter Biden was living lavishly through his corporate bank account. This is a typical thing that we look for in tax cases — criminal tax cases, I should say.

In addition, there was media reporting related to Hunter Biden’s wife, ex-wife, divorce proceedings basically talking about his tax issues. And I wanted to quote some of the things that were said in her divorce filing which was public record.

“Throughout the parties’ separation, Mr. Biden” — referring to Hunter Biden — “has created financial concerns for the family by spending extravagantly on his own interests, including drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs, gifts for women with whom he had sexual relationships with, while leaving the family with no funds to pay legitimate bills.

“The parties’ outstanding debts are shocking and overwhelming. The parties have maxed-out credit card debt, double mortgages on both real properties they own, and a tax debt of at least $300,000.”

The whistleblower put together a case together, but his boss spooked him with a hard truth: “But he said a political family like this, you have to have more than just an allegation and evidence related to that allegation. In order for this case to move forward, you basically have to show a significant amount of evidence and similar wrongdoing that would basically illustrate a prosecution report.”

In 2019, then-Attorney General William Barr chose to combine the investigations. Whistleblower #2 detailed why he didn’t want to run his case out of Delaware and the issues he saw while working out of the state:

So what were the potential issues I saw with working the case in Delaware? We were working with a small U.S. Attorney’s Office who might not have ever worked a case of this caliber. Delaware was in the State in which the subject’s father lived, and the family was extremely well-known throughout the State, including people on the team. And when I say team, the investigators and prosecutors on the team.

This was later evident by President Joe Biden — well, he was formerly Vice President at that time — having to come into the FBI office on an unrelated matter and it being joked with the team.

There’s another issue where a magistrate judge in Delaware made an inappropriate comment at the signing of the first electronic search warrant that caused her to remove herself — that caused her to recuse herself from the investigation. This set us back an additional 4 months as we had to draft new warrants and redo investigative steps.

One of the DOJ tax attorneys told the whistleblower he could not do a plain clothes walk-by of Hunter’s house to make sure that he lived there. It was the first time the whistleblower ever had a walk-by approved or denied by the Tax Division.

It was also the first time in his career that they even talked with prosecutors about “removing a subject’s name from a subpoena, especially a covert subpoena.”

Then we get to December 8, 2020, when the prosecutorial team had a phone call. A storage unit Hunter emptied was the main topic. Wolf told the whistleblower to prepare an affidavit for a search warrant of the storage unit. He mentioned, “in looking back at this, that these were pretty telling.”

I’ll say:

I say to her on December 8th, 2020: “Sending the draft affidavit. I guess I’m happy we drafted this before. I kept the computer language in the warrant in case there are electronic devices.”

So I’m going to move on to the next paragraph.

“We will work to get this approved ASAP on our end. So please communicate your thoughts. I would like to possibly execute this sometime next week. I think that is reasonable, given the upcoming holiday.”

Her response to me, December 9th, was: “We are getting to work on this, but I want to manage expectations with you regarding timing. It has to go through us, DOJ Tax, possibly OEO, and definitely [Eastern District of Virginia] (EDVA), who has never seen the case before, layer in the filter requirements in the Fourth Circuit, and it’s just not clear it’s going to happen next week, even with everyone making it a priority.”

So that tells me two things right there. That David Weiss wasn’t really in charge. And it also tells me that I have never had a case [investigation] to where, if we needed to get records and preserve them, that we didn’t do everything in our power to get a search warrant approved and get moving on that expeditiously.

After everyone sent the emails, Wolf decided not to execute the storage unit search warrant.

In a phone call, the whistleblower told Wolf he disagreed with her tactics. He reminded her that they “weren’t following the appropriate investigative steps to get the stuff in the storage locker and that I thought she might be acting inappropriately.”

The whistleblower came up with the idea of not telling Biden’s counsel about the storage unit. He has a request for records. Therefore, if Hunter doesn’t touch the storage unit then they know he isn’t “complying with that request.”

Wolf was iffy. The whistleblower’s boss and Weiss liked it, even calling it “a great idea.” But then:

So I find out a couple days later that, on a phone call from them, that AUSA Wolf and DOJ Tax Mark Daly called Hunter Biden’s counsel and told them about the storage location and said that the request for records includes the stuff [in] there.

So they literally went around my back, my idea, around what we [had] already talked about, and did something completely different. And I guess it was at this point — there were a lot of things that happened before this. But it was at this point for me that I started to believe that the attorneys with the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office and DOJ Tax were not acting appropriately, they were not following the appropriate investigative steps, and that we were not a part of the trajectory and/or the planning of the investigation as we normally are.
