IRS Whistleblower Will Testify to Congress That He Investigated Hunter Biden's Dodgy Foreign Income for Five Years, Until the Head of the IRS Removed Him Based on an Order from Biden's Wingman Merrick Garland

Remind me to email Jonah Goldberg, David French, and AllahPundit to thank them for saving the nation from corruption.

A second IRS whistleblower in the criminal investigation of first son Hunter Biden emerged Monday in documents sent to Congress following the purge of the entire investigatory team looking into President Biden's son for tax fraud and related crimes.
The new whistleblower is a special agent in the IRS's international tax and financial crimes group and worked on the Hunter Biden case since it was opened in 2018 -- until he was ousted without explanation last week.
The agent joins his supervisor, who plans to testify behind closed doors before the House Ways and Means Committee on Friday, in publicly registering concerns about how the Justice Department has handled the investigation.
Both IRS whistleblowers expressed concerns internally for years about the case being swept under the rug but got nowhere, and they lay out extensive claims of retaliation in new disclosures to Congress.
Hunter wrote in communications retrieved from his abandoned laptop that he had to share "half" of his income with his father.
The IRS supervisor, who oversaw the probe since January 2020, and his 12 subordinates were removed from the case -- allegedly on Justice Department orders -- after he contacted Congress on April 19 to allege "preferential treatment" and false testimony to Congress by Attorney General Merrick Garland.

The "preferential treatment" was, if I remember correctly, refusing to grant additional US Attorneys the power to investigate Hunter Biden's crimes in jurisdictions outside of Delaware, or permitting the US Attorney for Delaware tasked with the (fake) investigation of Hunter Biden's Delaware crimes to investigate cases he wasn't already assigned. In other words, as new crimes were discovered, Merrick Garland made sure they weren't investigated by refusing to appoint any attorneys to investigate them.

New documents sent to Congress indicate investigators were cut out of discussions with prosecutors even earlier following a contentious meeting in October where IRS and FBI concerns about inaction were shared with an unnamed US attorney.
A whistleblower retaliation complaint sent last week to the Office of Special Counsel and shared with Congress says: "In a charged meeting on October 7, 2022, U.S. Attorney for the District of [redacted] became aware that both the IRS and the FBI had longstanding concerns about the handling of the case ... After [redacted] continued to communicate concerns to the [redacted] USAO in a prosecutorial team call on October 17, 2022, he and his IRS team were no longer invited to any further prosecutorial team calls and meetings on the case, effectively excluding them from the case."

The newer whistleblower, who worked on the probe since 2018, wrote in an email Thursday to seven senior IRS officials, including Commissioner Daniel Werfel, that he believes he was removed for doing the "right thing," including raising internal alarms about the Justice Department "acting inappropriately."
"As I'm sure you were aware, I was removed this week from a highly sensitive case ... after nearly 5 years of work. I was not afforded the opportunity of a phone call directly from my [special agent in charge] or [assistant special agent in charge], even though this had been my investigation since the start," the new whistleblower wrote.
"There is a human impact to the decisions being made that no one in the government seems to care about or understand," the 13-year veteran of the agency added.
"I ... have spent thousands of hours on the case, worked to complete 95% of the investigation, have sacrificed sleep/vacations/gray hairs etc., my husband and I (identifying me as the case agent) were publicly outed and ridiculed on social media due to our sexual orientation, and to ultimately be removed for always trying to do the right thing, is unacceptable in my opinion," he wrote.
It's unclear if the IRS agent's sexual orientation was criticized by supporters of Hunter Biden or by detractors who mistakenly assumed the detail meant he wouldn't conduct a serious investigation of a Democrat.

This is the garbage liberal Rupert Murdoch rag the New York Post. It's pretty clear to me.

"For the last couple years, my [supervisor] and I have tried to gain the attention of our senior leadership about certain issues prevalent regarding the investigation. I have asked for countless ... meetings with our chief and deputy chief, often to be left out on an island and not heard from," the agent wrote.
"The lack of IRS-[Criminal Investigation] senior leadership involvement in this investigation is deeply troubling and unacceptable. Rather than recognizing the need to ensure close engagement and full support of the investigatory team in this extraordinarily sensitive case, the response too often had been that we were isolated (even when I said on multiple occasions that I wasn't being heard and that I thought I wasn't able to perform my job adequately because of the actions of the USAO and DOJ, my concerns were ignored by senior leadership)."
....
According to the first whistleblower, an assistant US attorney and an attorney for the DOJ's tax division on Oct. 24, 2022, demanded from the IRS "all his emails related to the case" and "made a similar request of the FBI."
The FBI allegedly was "shocked by it, and the FBI refused."

FBI Corruption: The FBI kept the investigation into the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation open through Trump's first term to prevent Congress from being able to see the evidence - when Biden took office the FBI destroyed the evidence so it could not turn it over to Congress.

And again, I will call out that this isn't how anything is supposed to work and it is evidence of some serious problems with the federal government.

Not that this is criminal bullshit - that is obvious, and is a different problem. But IRS is under Treasury. They should be taking their orders from Janet Yellen, not Merrick Garland and Yellen should be defending her turf from interlopers and carpet-baggers. There is no world in which one would expect that the DoJ giving an informal order to Treasury is met with any response other than, "fuck off. This is my turf. If you want me to do it, come with legal paperwork." Cabinet bureaus are rivals and often they even hate each other. Treasury snapping to attention when Justice makes demands is weird.

DoJ is completely out of control, and has subverted not only itself but various other agencies.

79 @nypost 14mAt least 1,000 Amazon workers to walk off job over return-to-office mandate, layoffs
Posted by: weft cut-loop
++++
At least 1,000 employees at Amazon’s Seattle headquarters will participate in the walkout, which was announced over Slack and email messages that were reviewed by the Washington Post.

“We’re really walking out to show leadership is taking us in the wrong direction and employees need a say in the decisions that affect our lives,” one of Amazon’s Seattle-based software engineers anonymously told the Seattle Times.

Thought so. This doesn't surprise me at all, given some of the tremendous push-back being seen to return-to-office mandates in San Francisco. In San Francisco, it is often less about "I wanna work from home!" and more about "I don't want to go downtown to work, because it's a crime-ridden shithole and half the businesses are closed." Seattle is a lot like San Francisco in that regard.

I'll bet that if they could go to suburban offices, they would bitch about it but not refuse to comply. Going into the central business district in many American cities, though, is freaking awful.

84 It was a series of low level interns in Cincinnati who ordered the Hunter investigation to be shut down. Rest assured, Merrick Garland is investigating to figure out which intern ordered the firings, but because there are so many interns, and backup software was misconfigured, and multiple computer hard drives crashed, it may take months or years to complete the investigation if there is anything left to be found.

88 For Daniel Penny Over Chokehold Death Is Arrested In NYC ‘After Being Caught With Knife And Several Stolen Credit Cards’

Jordan Neely’s uncle fled police and then was arrested Monday after being caught with several allegedly stolen credit cards, a day after he spoke out against the ex-Marine accused of placing his nephew in a fatal chokehold, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Christopher Neely was arrested late Monday night after running away from a police pickpocket team that confronted him at the Port Authority bus terminal in Manhattan, police sources said.

The answer that Americans have embraced in the past is free and fair elections but I am doubtful in light of the massive corruption in elections where the margin of cheat exceeds 20 percent, that will be a remedy this time.

About the only thing that individuals can do in their states is join with groups trying to get rid of non-existent voters on the rolls in their state. It is just this action that forced even California to delete a lot of garbage in voter rolls enough so that GOP candidates won back seats captured by fraud in 2018.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Yet these tech drones, by and large, enthusiastically support the policies that ruined places like Seattle and I think it's pretty ballsy to bitch about not wanting to journey through or work in the wasteland of their own their creation.

Nothing surprising about that, just a comment on the sad reality of this shit.

161 About the only thing that individuals can do in their states is join with groups trying to get rid of non-existent voters on the rolls in their state. It is just this action that forced even California to delete a lot of garbage in voter rolls enough so that GOP candidates won back seats captured by fraud in 2018.

Doesn't matter - super majorities in the New England states and Southern California are opposed to this. There is no living with that for the rest of us, other than submission to their wishes. Secession is the only other option.

Yup. Their names have probably moved to the top of the list. If you work in high tech, don't get complacent because your odds of getting laid off are high.

Wrong. States are mandated to clean voter rolls which is which the plaintiffs won in Deep Blue California leading to those victories in Orange County there. New England states other than NH are mostly non competitive anyway and have few seats in Congress now (less than twenty).

Republicans won in state court regarding NY Dems trying to shove through a gerrymandering that would have cost the GOP some congressional seats there.

I believe that one of the Seattle tech firms closed a downtown office and moved the space to Bellevue for this exact reason 🤔
Posted by: OneEyedJack

Since moving to Las Cruces from Seattle I don't follow these things as closely as I once did. In 2019, Amazon was fed up with the City of Seattle screwing them so they moved significant parts of their staff to Bellevue. Meta's has a Seattle office but the bulk of their office space is located in Bellevue. I lived most of my life in the Bellevue area and it is a very well run city and its spectacular growth reflects that. My sense is Seattle is no longer where companies want to because it is a communist pit and dangerous to boot now. Bellevue and the whole eastside is rapidly becoming the premier city in Washington State.

I'm starting to believe the puppet masters behind Biden were clueless as to how corrupt the Irish Traveler Biden crime family has been. Any criminal enterprise has problems in setting it up so the spoils can be enjoyed without drawing too much attention. It requires plausible fronts where large sums of cash can be laundered and also discipline in keeping your mouth shut. When Biden was Senator from MNBA, Valerie was the bagman and kept the relatively penny ante proceeds on the down low. When Hunter assumed that role in the VP years no credible fronts were established and Hunter's drug use caused way too much info to get out. I'm thinking the puppeteers are getting gobsmacked by some of these revelations and it might get to the point where Biden's cut loose to preserve the whole.

Even in Rhode Island, you have had a Republican governor in the last ten or so years ago. NH has one now as does Vermont. Charlie Baker just left office in Mass. They are not DeSantis by any means but it is more that any ambitious candidate will not choose to run as a Republican for local or state office, local donors will not support him, and the party apparatus is thoroughly entrenched with a loser attitude. It resembles, in fact, the old Solid South's GOP party apparatus absent the white only primaries.

The long run fix is that muh principles such as Citizen's United and other such big money corruption efforts need to be curbed by states. Equating money to free speech was one of the more idiotic Scotus rulings in Buckley v. Valeo and it was so stupid that only a plurality endorsed the idea.

"Tincture" is a word that has fallen out of fashion.

306 >>You ignored Jack. The man told you that nothing will change because its not a matter of fraud.

You ignored that very few people actually vote. It's not a majority of people supporting these candidates, it's a relatively small number. The fact is there is no opposition and the left puts up whomever spends the most to buy the nomination in most races.

Sheldon Whitehouse is a prime example. Dumber than a bag of hammers but comes from old money with old connections. He's not a popular choice. He's what people get. The election is just a formality.

308 DeSantis running in 24 is silly, pointless and counter-productive.

If I were the GOP wing of the UniParty and wanted to nip an effective Trumpian governor in the bud, how would I do it ? Well, I might push him to run against Trump. Either way, I push one piece off the board before I lay down in the general election.

311 Har Har! Harlan Crow just gave the middle finger to Dickhead Durbin and his demand that Crow testify in Durbin's unconstitutional self-appointment as the head of SCOTUS oversight, or whatever fantasy is in his head. This left Dickie-boy sputtering in a rage-stroke today - how dare he!

Um, because you have no oversight of the SCOTUS, Durbin, that is how dare he...at least Crow's lawyers were smart enough to know that Constitutional fundamental, unlike a US Senator.

312 You ignored Jack. The man told you that nothing will change because its not a matter of fraud.

You've still got that particular notion that both the left and right hold, that you can somehow change people if you just implement the proper rules. That's not how it works, how it ever worked, or ever will work. Large majorities get what they want. Usually good and hard.

That is probably what you are going to get then. You eschew the hard work of organizing, building, etc. for there are big forces working out there that make doing anything worthless. In fact, you will always be a victim tossed by the storms in life because essentially you deny agency to yourself.

313 One possible reason for DeSantis running in '24 is so he'll be next in line in '28, and establishing the infrastructure of a national campaign, including donors.

Another possible reason is to be in position in case Trump is denied the nom.

Another is the GOPe being their usual selves.

No whig. I'm just not the guy that lives in an after-school special - telling everybody we just need to put on a play. The game is rigged. You continue to tell everyone to play the rigged game harder.
