NYT confirms IRS whistleblower claim about Hunter Biden probe, buries in 21st paragraph of report
Fox News ^ | 6/27/23 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

The New York Times confirmed one of the bombshell claims made about the Department of Justice's mishandling of its probe into Hunter Biden but buried it deep in its Tuesday report.

After Biden pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor tax violations and entered a pretrial diversion agreement regarding the felony gun registration charge, the House Ways and Means Committee released testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who alleged that President Biden's son received preferential treatment by the Justice Department.

IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley claimed that U.S. Attorney David Weiss alleged to multiple witnesses that he was told by the DOJ that he could not bring charges against Hunter Biden in California and Washington D.C. Attorney General Merrick Garland denied there being any interference in the probe.

However, the Times is now confirming that Weiss did in fact make such claims about the DOJ.

"But in mid-2022, Mr. Weiss reached out to the top federal prosecutor in Washington, Matthew Graves, to ask his office to pursue charges and was rebuffed, according to Mr. Shapley’s testimony," The Times wrote Tuesday. "A similar request to prosecutors in the Central District of California, which includes Los Angeles, was also rejected, Mr. Shapley testified. A second former I.R.S. official, who has not been identified, told House Republicans the same story. That episode was confirmed independently to The New York Times by a person with knowledge of the situation."

Notably, that confirmation wasn't mentioned until the 21st paragraph of the Times' lengthy report, titled "Competing Accounts of Justice Dept.’s Handling of Hunter Biden Case."

The Times did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

Keep in mind........grinning Joe Biden was setting this up for a l-o-o-o-o-n-g time.

When Joe Biden got “elected Senator”...... “the Delaware Way”...... it was said he frequently met with the Chinese delegation.

Wasnt just chit chat....the traitorous Biden had $$$plans and $$$schemes that were taking shape.

The Biden Crime Family cashed in bigtime by selling out our country.

This is why I didn't bother to post any text from the last Spew Barf Slimes article I posted this last week.

I like the way Tucker flayed New York Times newspuppet Nickie Christof over his sucking up to the Biden crime family in today's Tucker Blast.

Weiss reached out to Matthew Graves?

That would be this Matthew Graves:

@ColumbiaBugle

Rep. @mtgreenee Calls Out DC US District Attorney Matthew Graves For His Malicious Prosecutions Of January 6th Defendants Including Matthew Perna

-Matthew Perna had no criminal record.

-Peacefully entered the Capitol through an open door.

-Stayed inside roughly 20 minutes and never assaulted anyone or damaged any property.

Right before his sentencing DA Graves intervened and asked the Judge to delay the sentencing so they could seek more prison time for Matthew Perna.

Two weeks later Matthew Perna committed suicide. He was 37 years old.

And somehow one of those MFrs discovered I owe 4000 bucks from 4 years ago for some reason. No explanation of what or why, just “penalties and interest.” So all I can do is write a check and hope they get back to me when I challenge it with my accountant.

I despise these tyrants.

You are probably going to turn out to be right.

Bloody times again like 1968.
These days they pretend it’s “natural causes” or “suicide.”
Still certain people aren’t around to endanger certain other people.
