Hunter Biden prosecutor told six witnesses he couldn’t charge outside Delaware: IRS whistleblower
New York Post ^ | June 26, 2023 | Josh Christenson and Steven Nelson

The federal prosecutor tasked with investigating Hunter Biden told at least six witnesses last year that he lacked authority to charge the first son outside Delaware and was denied special counsel status, according to an IRS whistleblower — and now the House Judiciary Committee wants to talk to them.

Delaware US Attorney David Weiss made the shocking disclosure at an Oct. 7, 2022, meeting with top IRS and FBI officials — contradicting sworn testimony from Attorney General Merrick Garland, IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley told the House Ways and Means Committee last month.

“He surprised us by telling us on the charges, ‘I’m not the deciding official on whether charges are filed,’” Shapley recounted in his May 26 testimony, which the committee released Thursday.

“He then shocked us with the earth-shattering news that the Biden-appointed DC US Attorney Matthew Graves would not allow him to charge in his district,” added Shapley, who said Graves’ refusal to prosecute meant that Hunter, now 53, would not face tax charges related to “foreign income from Burisma [Holdings] and a scheme to evade his income taxes through a partnership with a convicted felon” in 2014 and 2015.

Wow, the Attorney General of the United States apparently perjured himself. Why am I not surprised?

"The federal prosecutor tasked with investigating Hunter Biden told at least six witnesses last year that he lacked authority to charge the first son outside Delaware..."

And he accepted that, didn't question it further, and did nothing to pursue it? Pansy ass.

Lawyering and Lying are distinctions, not differences.

Sounds like Weiss was more interested in his career in the DC Swamp than with doing what is best for America. This is exactly how the Swamp proliferates. They force you to make compromises until you have fully abandoned your old values- and your new values are all about protecting your own skin.

What is left unsaid, is that this is these Beltway LEO'S protecting the system they so dutifully cherish from another Teump presidency. As that being the case, nothing would be done about Biden because the result would deliver another Teump presidency.

No crime is worse than more Trump to a Beltway bureaucrat.

The problem is that people let this stuff happen to themselves all the time, then they want to look like they're the victim. I learned a long time ago that people only get away with, what you allow them to get away with.

This is awkward for Merrick the Malicious Hobbit.

How soon before the six witnesses are indicted by the DOJ and gagged by one of the DC District stooge-judges, like Beryl Howell or Amy Berman Jackson?

They’re apparently calling the six people as witnesses. I don’t know what will follow that, but at least they’re doing that much.

Of course, the Democult will claim that all six of them are lying.

AG John Mitchell went to prison for less. What we need is a Martha Mitchell to run her mouth.

The Biden Crime Family is part of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.

They will do anything to protect their crime syndicate.
