The underbelly of America’s investigative giants is now under the spotlight. A freshly unearthed IRS memo casts shadows on both the FBI and the Department of Justice, accusing them of not merely dismissing, but actively “mocking” congressional probes into Hunter Biden’s questionable dealings.
A Veil Lifted: IRS Whistleblower Steps Forward
Gary Shapley, an IRS whistleblower, took pen to paper in December 2020, sketching a disturbing image of the Hunter Biden investigation’s behind-the-scenes workings. His allegations are grave – pointing to not just disregard but disdain for congressional inquiries by both the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware.
From Disregard to Derision
Shapley’s memo resonates with a disheartening tone: “The FBI is a participating agency… The USAO and FBI received congressional inquiries concerning this investigation and have repeatedly ignored their requests, openly mocking the members of Congress who made the requests.”
Delaware’s Role
Delaware’s involvement paints no better picture. U.S. Attorney David Weiss, spearheading the Hunter Biden investigation, has found himself under criticism for his responses to the allegations. The IRS documents, unleashed by the House Ways and Means Committee, form the backbone of the testimony from IRS whistleblowers Shapley and Joseph Ziegler. These testimonies allude to special treatment granted to Hunter Biden during investigations, further fueling skepticism about the impartiality of the process.
An Unfolding Saga
Hunter Biden, the president’s son, found himself amidst a swirling storm. Accusations ranged from unresolved tax issues to a controversial firearm purchase. While a guilty plea seemed imminent in July, court proceedings took an unexpected turn under the watchful eyes of Delaware U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika. In the end, Hunter Biden proclaimed his innocence.
The tale took another twist when Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Weiss as a special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation. The series of events that followed further muddled the waters, leading many to question the integrity of the entire process.
Consequences and Considerations
Amid the storm of allegations and counter-allegations, one thing is clear: The faith in America’s investigative agencies is waning. If the IRS whistleblower’s claims prove true, this could result in a profound breach of public trust, reshaping how the public perceives the nation’s leading investigative bodies. The saga of Hunter Biden is not merely about one individual but signals a deeper crisis in America’s judicial machinery.
As we reflect on this unfolding narrative, let us remember the essence of justice and the principles upon which this great nation was founded. The future may hold more revelations, but it’s the present actions that will determine the path ahead.
