Two whistleblowers told Congress that IRS investigators recommended charging Hunter Biden with attempted tax evasion and other felonies, which are far more serious crimes than what the president’s son has agreed to plead guilty to, according to transcripts of their private interviews with lawmakers.
The IRS whistleblowers said the recommendation called for Hunter Biden to be charged with tax evasion and filing a false tax return – both felonies – for 2014, 2018 and 2019. The IRS also recommended that prosecutors charge him with failing to pay taxes on time, a misdemeanor, for 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, according to the transcripts, which were released Thursday by House Republicans.
It appears that this 11-count charging recommendation also had the backing of some Justice Department prosecutors, but not from more senior attorneys, according to documents that the whistleblowers provided to House investigators.
In a deal with prosecutors announced earlier this week, Hunter Biden is pleading guilty to just two tax misdemeanors.
The allegations come from Gary Shapley, a 14-year IRS veteran, who oversaw parts of the Hunter Biden criminal probe, and an unnamed IRS agent who was on the case nearly from its inception. Shapley approached Congress this year with information that he claimed showed political interference in the investigation. He and the entire IRS team were later removed from the probe.
“I am alleging, with evidence, that DOJ provided preferential treatment, slow-walked the investigation, did nothing to avoid obvious conflicts of interest in this investigation,” Shapley told lawmakers.

CNN?
The entire Biden crime family has gotten away with EVERYTHING their entire lives..no one stops them so why should they stop..they are practically throwing it in everyone’s faces that they are untouchable
We also have an eyeball witness to Joe Biden being in the same room with hunter while he wa on the phone with the Chinese businessman.
Maybe now we can use the “Hunter Biden” defense for tax related issues.
😴😴😴😴😴😴
To anybody who has done time for tax evasion, this is a slap in the face.
I hate these people.
Poor Al Capone spent his last ten years in prison suffering from syphilis because of tax evasion. Hunter gets to stay out and most likely keep spreading all manner of VD.
Talk about injustice!
Hunter Biden and his wacky pappy, Jo Jo Bidenskyyyy have proven that not paying your taxes is A-Okay and being a drug addict with an illegal firearm is no big deal.
um... how about he REPAY what he owes!!!! plus fees! like anyone else would have to !
I just got a letter from the scoundrels at the IRS saying I owe them $4000 more dollars from 2020. Can I just not pay it if I change my last name to Biden? Seems all I can do is send a check and then fight it later with my accountant.
Hunter will be advertising back tax strategies on talk radio soon.
