PROTECTING THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY - THE I.R.S., THE D.OJ. AND THE F.B.I. AT WORK. - JUST NOT FOR THE LAWS OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE - Whistleblower Says FBI Verified Authenticity of Hunter Biden Laptop in November 2019
THE BIDENS = 50 YEARS OF WHITE COLLAR CRIME!
13 Serious Allegations by IRS Whistleblower Against Bidens, DOJ
The House Ways and Means Committee revealed at least 13 serious IRS whistleblowers allegations against the Biden family on Thursday.
While the establishment media ignored or downplayed the allegations, the whistleblowers revealed the following points in the now-public allegations leveled against Hunter Biden, the Justice Department, and President Joe Biden:
The Justice Department twice prevented United States Attorney David Weiss from bringing stronger charges against Hunter Biden.
Attorney General Merrick Garland refused to name a special counsel in the tax investigation, which could have provided a degree of separation between Joe Biden and his Justice Department.
The IRS recommended charges against Hunter Biden that were not approved by Garland.
The investigation forewarned Hunter Biden of any future searches for materials that could be used as evidence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf refused to allow investigators to ask about Joe Biden being “the big guy.”
Wolf stopped questioning about “the big guy” to limit where the investigation could go despite evidence of Joe Biden’s involvement.
Wolf cautioned the investigation team from searching Joe Biden’s guest house in Delaware for evidence against Hunter Biden because of “optics.”
Rob Walker, a Biden Family business associate, said Joe Biden showed up at a meeting with CEFC, a Chinese energy company closely affiliated with the CCP. Based on the testimony, it appears Hunter Biden used Joe Biden to bolster his business dealings with CEFC, which funneled the family money.
Rob Walker showed the family’s business directly involved Joe Biden, including while still in office as vice president.
Hunter Biden demanded in 2017 to be paid by CCP-linked Chinese businessman Henry Zhao while Joe Biden was “sitting” next to him in a room.
Investigators wanted to obtain the location data to confirm Joe Biden was in the room. But there is no confidence the FBI obtained that data.
Hunter Biden deducted payments to prostitutes and sex clubs from his taxes.
The investigation into Hunter Biden began as an “offshoot” of inquiry into a foreign adult platform.

Attorney General Garland denied the whistleblower allegations that Biden’s DOJ interfered in the Hunter Biden criminal tax probe.
“I certainly understand that some have chosen to attack the integrity of the Justice Department as components and its employees by claiming that we do not treat like cases alike,” he claimed Friday. “This constitutes an attack on an institution that is essential to American democracy and essential to the safety of the American people. Nothing could be further from the truth.”
On Tuesday, Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to only two federal tax violation charges and one charge of violation of gun laws.
He will appear on July 26 before a judge, who will presumably accept the plea deal between Hunter and Weiss. If the judge accepts the plea deal, Hunter Biden’s lawyer claimed in an interview with MSNBC that no additional allegations of wrongdoing alleged by Republicans could ever be brought against the president’s son.
Half of Americans believe President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, received preferential treatment from prosecutors who reached a deal that would allow the younger Biden to plead guilty to tax charges but avoid a gun-related conviction, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
The two-day poll that closed on Wednesday showed Americans were divided along partisan lines in their views on the case, with 75 percent of Republicans seeing preferential treatment compared with just 33 percent of Democrats.
Most respondents said the case would not affect their likelihood of voting for the elder Biden next year when he is seeking reelection.
U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a federal prosecutor appointed by Republican former president Donald Trump, said on Tuesday that Hunter Biden, 53, has agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of willfully failing to pay income taxes and to enter into an agreement that could avert a conviction on a gun-related charge.
Trump and his Republican allies charged that the plea agreement amounted to special treatment for Biden's son. Weiss was one of a few Trump-appointed prosecutors that Biden asked to stay on after he took office in January 2021, to avoid the appearance of tampering in politically sensitive investigations.
Media pundits largely dismissed concern that Hunter Biden received special treatment and downplayed the charges he pleaded guilty to.
"What do these jerks in the House want Joe Biden to do?" MSNBC commentator and former Democratic senator Claire McCaskill said.
Hunter Biden will make an initial appearance in federal court in Delaware on July 26, a court filing showed on Wednesday.
According to court filings, Hunter Biden received taxable income of more than $1.5 million in 2017 and in 2018 but did not pay income tax those years despite owing in excess of $100,000.
He is also charged with unlawfully owning a firearm from roughly Oct. 12 to Oct 23, 2018, when he was using and addicted to crack cocaine. For that charge, he entered a pretrial diversion agreement, an alternative to prosecution that is sometimes used to allow defendants to avoid prison time or a criminal conviction.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll surveyed 1,004 U.S. adults nationwide and has a credibility interval, a measure of precision, of about 4 percentage points.
Whistleblowers: Biden’s DOJ Stopped Prosecutors From Going After Hunter
What the federal judge with the final say must do.
A gentle slap on the wrist. That is what President Biden’s son Hunter will likely face for lying about his drug use on a federal gun purchase form and for evading the payment of hundreds of thousands of dollars he owed in federal taxes.
After five years of a bogus investigation, Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss’ office announced on June 20th an incredibly lenient plea deal for offenses that have sent lesser mortals without a daddy in the Oval Office to prison. That is, unless the federal judge assigned to the case, U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika, sees through this miscarriage of justice and rejects the plea deal.
When asked about the plea deal for Hunter’s illegal acquisition of a gun and cheating on his taxes, President Biden said he was “very proud” of his son. Given the president’s zealous support for gun control and for going after well-heeled tax cheats, President Biden would have been better off saying nothing at all.
If Hunter Biden had taken full ownership of his crimes and agreed to serve some jail time in exchange for the prosecution’s agreement to accept his guilty plea, then maybe there would have been something to be proud of. But that is not what happened. Hunter is an unreformed grifter who has lived his adult life leveraging his father’s political power for personal advantage. The Biden Justice Department’s offer of a sweetheart deal to Hunter came about only because his father is in the White House.
Hunter took one for the entire Biden family syndicate by agreeing to plead guilty to narrow charges focused only on his own tax evasion and illegal gun acquisition. He avoided entangling his family members, including the “big guy,” in a web of far more serious charges like money laundering, bribery, and violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, despite strong evidence of such crimes. Perhaps that is why President Biden is so proud of his son.
Bank records evidencing the shell companies used to surreptitiously divert money sent from China, Ukraine, and Romania to Biden family members evidently eluded the FBI agents and prosecutors supposedly investigating Hunter’s criminal activities for five years.
Since 2019, the FBI has been in possession of Hunter’s laptop, which contains a treasure trove of evidence of wrongdoing not only by Hunter but also by the Biden family syndicate. Yet the FBI agents and prosecutors assigned to investigate Hunter’s conduct did not think it was worth delving into the contents of the laptop before working out the outrageous plea deal with Hunter’s attorneys.
There are now reports indicating that Biden’s Department of Justice interfered with the Internal Revenue Service’s tax fraud investigation of Hunter Biden. A career IRS agent in charge of the investigation was disgusted enough to blow the whistle on what he considered to be a coverup. Reportedly at the direction of the Department of Justice, the political leadership of the IRS removed the whistleblower and his entire investigative team from the case in retaliation.
The career supervisor of the investigation and another IRS whistleblower were reported on June 22nd to have told the House Ways and Means Committee that their recommendation to charge Hunter Biden with a felony went nowhere. They further claimed that the Biden Justice Department buried evidence which implicated Hunter.
Were these whistleblowers invited to testify before the grand jury impaneled in Delaware in connection with the Hunter Biden investigation? We don’t know for sure but it is highly doubtful.
We do know that Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of the Biden family who knows all about the Biden family’s foreign business dealings, said last fall that he was not asked to testify before this grand jury. Since Mr. Bobulinski has identified Joe Biden as the “big guy” referenced in e-mail correspondence discovered on Hunter’s laptop, the Biden Justice Department was leery that something embarrassing to the president could show up in the grand jury transcripts if Mr. Bobulinski testified.
What the disgraceful outcome of the so-called investigation of Hunter Biden proves beyond a shadow of a doubt is that there is a two-tiered system of justice in America. Not only as between the aggressive prosecution of Donald Trump versus the kid gloves treatment of Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton. There is also a two-tiered system of justice that shields the powerful Democrat elite in Washington from aggressive prosecution while federal law enforcement goes after regular Americans who do not have the proper political connections.
“Democrats are the party of criminal justice reform, right? Where’s their outrage now while Hunter Biden, the white, privileged son of a President gets a slap on the wrist for a gun charge and tax evasion? Crickets.”
During a House Judiciary Committee meeting on June 21st where Special Counsel John Durham was testifying about the Russia hoax, Rep. Hunt expressed his outrage:
“The American people are sick and tired of this two-tiered justice system and as a black man I’m tired of seeing this kind of discretion you use to favor people like Hunter Biden because he’s white and a son of a president.”
Even celebrities without the right political connections in Washington, D.C., especially a family connection with the president of the United States, can face jail time for doing what Hunter Biden would get away with under his sweetheart deal.
All that Hunter had to do to avoid jail time for evading the payment of federal income taxes on millions of dollars of taxable income that he owed for both 2017 and 2018 was agree to plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts. The sentence will be probation instead of jail if the plea agreement is approved by Judge Noreika.
By contrast, actor Wesley Snipes was sentenced in 2008 to three years in prison and fined $5 million after being found guilty of willfully failing to file past tax returns. The Internal Revenue Service rejected an offer by Mr. Snipes to compromise.
Jeffrey Bruce Atkins Sr., an African American rapper better known professionally as Ja Rule, received a 28-month prison sentence for failing to pay taxes on more than $3 million in earnings between 2004 and 2006. This federal sentence ran concurrently with his two-year sentence in state prison already in progress, which was handed down after he had previously pleaded guilty to attempted gun possession. After he finished serving his state sentence, Ja Rule then spent several additional months in federal prison.
All that Hunter had to do to avoid prosecution for lying on his federal gun purchase form was to agree to enter a pretrial “diversion” program. Under this program he must remain drug-free for 24 months and never own a firearm again. If Hunter complies with these conditions, the gun charge will be expunged from his record.
By contrast, Bill Kahan Kapri, an African American rapper better known as Kodak Black, was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison after pleading guilty to a charge that he lied on gun purchase forms to buy firearms.
Commenting on the sweetheart deal that Hunter Biden received, Bradford Cohen, Mr. Black’s attorney, wrote:
“2 tiers of justice? Kodak was charged with the same crime. Got over 3 years. Mr. Biden will not serve a day. Feels right? Do FBI agents and federal authorities take cases personally?”
“After 26 years, I have yet to have a plea in a case with an illegal possession of a weapon and tax evasion, that did not come with some kind of prison sentence.”
U.S. District Court Judge Noreika of the District of Delaware, a Trump appointee whose nomination was initially endorsed by Delaware’s two Democratic senators, has been assigned to the Hunter Biden case. She set a court date of July 26 for Hunter Biden to appear in court for a “combined initial appearance and plea hearing.”
Judge Noreika will have the option of either approving or rejecting the plea agreement and deciding at that time or at a subsequent hearing whether probation is the appropriate sentence, or a harsher sentence would be more appropriate.
Republican members of the House Oversight Committee must try their best to present to Judge Noreika the detailed evidence they have uncovered regarding Hunter Biden’s and his family’s fraudulent wrongdoing going back to Joe Biden’s days as vice president. This means providing all the bank records, other documents, and testimony they have gathered so far to Judge Noreika before she renders her final decision. This could be the only way to convince the judge to reject the sweetheart plea deal, and force the Department of Justice to conduct a genuine investigation and to seek a conviction on felony charges – perhaps by finally appointing a fair-minded special counsel.

Whistleblower Says FBI Verified Authenticity of Hunter Biden Laptop in November 2019
The FBI authenticated Hunter Biden’s laptop as far back as November 2019, according to testimony from an IRS whistleblower released on Thursday, and knew the device was not part of a foreign disinformation campaign.
The Bureau learned of the laptop in October 2019, the whistleblower, IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley said, and just one month later verified its authenticity. The IRS was notified about the laptop in December 2019 and told that "it likely contained evidence of a tax crime," the whistleblower said.
Shapley's stunning claims raise important questions about the Department of Justice’s conduct over the last several years.
FBI director Christopher Wray refused as recently as March to verify that the contents of Hunter Biden’s hard drive were not part of a foreign disinformation campaign. Numerous outside investigators and newsrooms, including the Washington Free Beacon, have concluded that Hunter Biden’s hard drive is authentic since its existence was made public by the New York Post in October 2020.
One week after the New York Post's initial report more than 50 former senior intelligence officials signed a letter alleging that it "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." Signatories of that letter included former Director of National Intelligence Jim Clapper, as well as former CIA directors Leon Panetta and John Brennan. That letter was later cited in an Oct. 22 presidential debate by Joe Biden, who said the release of the laptop was part of a "Russian plan." Since he took office, Biden’s White House has insinuated that the laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
"I think it’s broadly known and widely known…that there was a broad range of Russian disinformation back in 2020," former White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in Sept. 2021.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in August 2022 that the FBI briefed Facebook ahead of the 2020 presidential election about "Russian propaganda" and said his platform should be on "high alert." Zuckerberg said that meeting, which the FBI confirmed took place, was the rationale behind his company censoring all news stories that mentioned the laptop’s contents.
Shapley says the tax agency recommended felony charges against Hunter Biden and that the federal prosecutor handling the probe of the first son was prevented on multiple occasions from filing charges.
Federal prosecutors knew that no content on the Hunter Biden hard drive was fabricated prior to the 2020 election, according to a memo Shapley prepared on Oct. 22, 2020 and provided to the House Ways and Means Committee. Content on the hard drive were exact matches to files authorities had obtained from a search warrant of Hunter Biden’s iCloud account, the memo states.
"We have no reason to believe there is anything fabricated nefariously on the computer and or hard drive," the memo states. "There are emails and other items that corroborate the items on the laptop and hard drive."
Authorities also knew the New York Post explanation that Hunter Biden dropped his laptop off at a Delaware computer repair shop in April 2019 and then neglected to pick it back up, was accurate, Shapley said. Investigators had obtained financial records and "other intelligence" showing Hunter Biden was in the vicinity of the computer repair shop the same day he dropped his computer off for repair.
"Financial records show [Hunter Biden] was around Wilmington DE shop at a cigar shop on the same day," the memo states.
The FBI determined the device was Hunter Biden’s by comparing its device number to Hunter Biden’s iCloud account.
""The FBI case agent, Josh Wilson, called up the computer shop owner, John Paul, and basically got the device numbers from him," Shapley said, according to an interview transcript released by the House Ways and Means Committee. "And then we bounced those device numbers off third-party records, and it showed that it was, in fact, Hunter Biden's device. So it was a very first important step."
This is a developing story.
ABC, CBS Evening Programming Ignore Bombshell Whistleblower Claims of Hunter Biden’s ‘Preferential Treatment’ from DOJ
ABC’s “World News Tonight” and “CBS Evening News” on Thursday evening ignored the bombshell IRS whistleblower allegations that Hunter Biden received preferential treatment from the Justice Department (DOJ) regarding probes into tax violations.
On Thursday morning, House Republicans released transcripts of two IRS whistleblowers, one of whom provided evidence that Joe Biden was present when Hunter Biden pressured a Chinese business partner to send them millions of dollars, Breitbart News reported.
A second whistleblower also said the DOJ interfered in the effort to investigate Hunter Biden for tax crimes, although Joe Biden’s attorney general recently claimed otherwise.
But ABC and CBS evening news programming ignored the whistleblowers’ publicly available testimony provided by the House Ways and Means Committee.
Their decision to ignore the allegations follows a historical pattern of shielding their viewers from allegations of Biden family wrongdoing:
In October 2021, ABC, CBS, and NBC spent “0 seconds” reporting on Joe and Hunter Biden’s alleged shared bank account, the Republican National Committee’s research team found.
In June 2022, ABC News, NBC News, and CBS News aired only 298 seconds on Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” story since March 16, when the New York Times confirmed authentication of the laptop, according to Media Research Center.
In June, the network news channels ABC, CBS, and NBC spent zero time on the alleged Biden “bribery” scandal, compared to 291 minutes on the Trump indictment, according to a media watchdog report.
In addition, ABC News acknowledged in March the legacy outlet refused to review Hunter Biden’s abandoned “Laptop from Hell,” all while reporting on the infamous laptop story by printing scoops from Hunter’s legal team.
According to recent polling, 50 percent of Americans believe the national media intend to mislead, misinform, and persuade the public, as just 35 percent say most news organizations can be relied upon.
