DOJ ordered Hunter Biden investigators to 'remove any reference' to Joe Biden in FARA probe warrant: House GOP

The U.S. Department of Justice ordered FBI and IRS investigators involved in the Hunter Biden probe to "remove any reference" to President Biden in a search warrant related to a Foreign Agents Registration Act probe, new documents released by the House Ways & Means Committee reveal.

Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., led a vote Wednesday to release new documents provided by IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler that "corroborate their initial testimony to the Committee and reinforce their credibility and their high esteem among colleagues."

"The Biden Administration — including top officials at the Justice Department — lied to the American public and engaged in a cover-up that interfered with federal investigators and protected the Biden family, including President Biden himself," the committee said.

One document released Wednesday was an August 2020 email sent by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf in which she ordered investigators to remove any reference to "Political Figure 1" from a search warrant. Subsequent documents released Wednesday revealed that President Biden is "Political Figure 1."

"As a priority, someone needs to redraft attachment B," Wolf writes in the email. "I am not sure what this is cut and pasted from but other than the attribution location, and identity stuff at the end, none of it is appropriate and within the scope of this warrant."

Wolf adds: "Please focus on FARA evidence only. There should be nothing about Political Figure 1 in here."

What is remarkable about this is that Slay is reporting it:

Joe Biden’s Brother James Admitted To FBI The Biden Family Tried To Help Chinese Firm Tied To Xi Jinping Buy Key US Energy Assets

And the GOP discovered that Hunter Biden referred to his father, President Biden, as “my family’s only asset” while discussing overseas business ventures in June 2017, Jason Smith (R-Mo.) revealed.

Good luck with that. You have to change Civil Service laws and regulations. Congress must do that. The only way to remove the senior career bureaucracy is thru programmatic changes that eliminate jobs and functions.

DOJ is playing the three monkey gig hoping to run out the clock on the Biden syndicate.

Going to be a costly and foolish move in the end for the democrats.
