It’s just been revealed tonight that the IRS removed the entire team investigating Hunter Biden and they did it on the orders of Biden’s DOJ, in what appears to be retaliation for the top investigative agent testifying before Congress:
NY POST – The IRS on Monday removed the “entire investigative team” from its long-running tax fraud probe of first son Hunter Biden in alleged retaliation against the whistleblower who alleged a coverup, The Post has learned.
The purge allegedly was done on the orders of the Justice Department, the whistleblower’s attorneys told Congress in a letter.
“Today the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress. He was informed the change was at the request of the Department of Justice,” Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt wrote.
The whistleblower, who has supervised the Hunter Biden probe since early 2020, has not publicly identified the first son as the subject of his coverup claims, though congressional sources have done so.
“On April 27, 2023, IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel appeared before the House Committee on Ways and Means. He testified: ‘I can say without any hesitation there will be no retaliation for anyone making an allegation or a call to a whistleblower hotline.’ However, this move is clearly retaliatory and may also constitute obstruction of a congressional inquiry,” the lawyers went on.
“Our client has a right to make disclosures to Congress … He is protected by 5 U.S.C. § 2302 from retaliatory personnel actions—including receiving a ‘significant change in duties, responsibilities, or working conditions’ (which this clearly is) because of his disclosures to Congress.
“Any attempt by any government official to prevent a federal employee from furnishing information to Congress is also a direct violation of longstanding appropriations restriction. Furthermore, 18 U.S.C. § 1505 makes it a crime to obstruct an investigation of Congress,” Lytle and Leavitt wrote.
The whistleblower’s team added: “We respectfully request that you give this matter your prompt attention. Removing the experienced investigators who have worked this case for years and are now the subject-matter experts is exactly the sort of issue our client intended to blow the whistle on to begin with.”
This is how it works in Democrat administrations. Whistleblower goes before Congress to expose some truth and suddenly they are demoted or are completely out of a job. And the media won’t make beans about this because they don’t care.
Unless it happens when a Republican is president – or governor, like that chick in Florida who was a cause-celeb during COVID even though she lied about EVERYTHING.
And you know that this investigative team won’t be replaced by the IRS. I’m just waiting for the DOJ investigators to also be demoted from their investigation. Because at the end of the day we all know Hunter will never be prosecuted. His daddy would.
