I.R.S. Agent Told Congress of Hunter Biden Invoking His Father in Business Deal
New York Times ^ | June 22, 2023 | Luke Broadwater and Michael S. Schmidt

A whistle-blower said the tax agency found a message from 2017 in which Hunter Biden pressured a Chinese business partner by saying he was with his father, who was then out of office.

The lead I.R.S. agent investigating whether Hunter Biden committed tax crimes told Congress his team uncovered evidence that Mr. Biden had invoked his father, who was then out of office, while pressing a potential Chinese business partner in 2017 to move ahead with a proposed energy deal, House Republicans said.

In testimony made public on Thursday, Gary Shapley, an I.R.S. agent since 2009 who supervised the tax agency’s investigation into Hunter Biden, said his team used a search warrant to obtain a July 30, 2017, WhatsApp message from Mr. Biden to Henry Zhao, a Chinese businessman.

In the message, provided to the House Ways and Means Committee by Mr. Shapley, Mr. Biden told Mr. Zhao that he was sitting with his father and that “we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.”

“Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight,” Mr. Biden wrote, referring to other participants in the proposed deal. “And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction.”

Taken at face value, the message would undercut President Biden’s longstanding claims that he had nothing to do with his son’s international business deals.

I don’t know who I despise more, the Obama’s or the Biden’s. It’s amazing the Clintons run 3rd on my list

Some things come to mind here:

They are trying to goad the GOP into impeachment because they can paint Biden as a victim and repeat the Clinton impeachment, which in their mind, was a victory.

They want Biden gone for Newsom.

They need cover for the obvious two-tiered justice system. They want Trump in jail with the appearance of a “fair” justice system.

Brother James / Jim was the bag man before Hunter.

He’s still living off Foreign Countries.

I already see the spin on all the media.

“We don’t know what Hunter was dealing and his father didn’t know what his some was doing. Besides, it is perfectly fine because Chomo Joe was not holding public office. We really need to be focusing on Trump’s indictments which is very serious”

Exactly! Could it be that word has gone out from Rat Party Headquarters that The Big Guy won’t be on the ticket next year?

I don’t think they want Republicans to discover Impeachment.

It’s a gentleman’s agreement that only Dems can use it.

If you don’t Impeach for this, do away with Impeachment.

Do away with the 25th Amendment after Biden.

Do away with Special Counsels if his own son didn’t warrant one.

What kind of father puts his son in harm’s way - so he can kick up?

Biden abused all of them when they were younger.
