WASHINGTON — The IRS on Monday removed the “entire investigative team” from its long-running tax fraud probe of first son Hunter Biden in alleged retaliation against the whistleblower who alleged a coverup, The Post has learned.
The purge allegedly was done on the orders of the Justice Department, the whistleblower’s attorneys told Congress in a letter.
“Today the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress. He was informed the change was at the request of the Department of Justice,” Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt wrote.
The whistleblower, who has supervised the Hunter Biden probe since early 2020, has not publicly identified the first son as the subject of his coverup claims, though congressional sources have done so.
“On April 27, 2023, IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel appeared before the House Committee on Ways and Means. He testified: ‘I can say without any hesitation there will be no retaliation for anyone making an allegation or a call to a whistleblower hotline.’ However, this move is clearly retaliatory and may also constitute obstruction of a congressional inquiry,” the lawyers went on.

Covering up the coverup with another layer of coverup.
Is this going to be a little too obvious?
Or are the American people so low now they will lie down in the road as human speed bumps as the woke Commies roll over them?
The Rs in the House need to shut the IRS down, no 87,000 additional agents, no further funding, we have control of the federal purse and you will be out in the cold for funds until you start enforcing federal tax laws on an equal basis, period.
Apathy... people expect nothing to happen and nothing will happen.
Bump
Authoritarian State is completely and entirely in control of our country. There is nothing of America left. The state controlled media are the guard dogs of their enterprises.
When the Dems launched the Ukraine phone call impeachment hoax they had Congressional hearings within literally a few days. No similar sense of urgency from the GOP. Ever.
When you beat a mean dog, before it dies, it tries to make friends
Not sure who the whistle blower is. Then fire the whole team...
.
Hunter and Joe are protected like Kings, and the agencies don’t care if people know it.
.
This makes the IRS look even more suspicious.
.
Was there a story today where the IRS said that Black taxpayers were audited more often?
A day after Biden went to an HBCU and said the biggest threat - THE Threat is White Supremacy.
Then stop talking about it and charge Daniel Werfel. Now!
Contempt of Congress. He lied to your face.
Nothing less than scorched earth will do.
Tomorrow, Congress should defund the IRS and FBI. Not just cut some funds; defund 100%.
My Congressman Burchett was on War Room today, and he said he’s ready to pull funds. MTG is, too.
Bless your heart.
Keyword - loophole.
(keep in mind, those were deliberately written into the law)
“are the American people so low now they will lie down in the road as human speed bumps as the woke Commies roll over them?”
We always do. Why should this be any different?
It’s beyond obvious America is in its post elections phase.
Hey...wait a minute! Could this possibly mean that the fix is in?
