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.

They are laughing at us.

They know that their only opposition, Republicans in congress, will do nothing.

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

The IRS needs to check out how many DC intelligence thugs and goons live in fancy Mansions on middle class salaries...

are the American people so low now they will lie down in the road as human speed bumps

The American people are comprised of 1) liberals who will applaud this corruption and 2) conservatives who, pretty much, do exactly what you describe. So, you're half right.

Then stop talking about it and charge Daniel Werfel. Now!

It will be up to the DOJ to charge Werfel. Don't hold your breath.

[Labyrinthos]

We — meaning the GOP — controls the House. Impeachment of the executive IRS officers and Biden is the only remedy. I understand that the Senate will never convict, but this needs to be done.

Tomorrow morning I am sure we will see Thune, Tillis and Mitt Romney getting right after these evil doers.

They should have to at least pretend to be honest.
