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 used the word “allegedly” three times in the first two sentences.
Defund the IRS.
What’s the difference between ignorance and apathy??
I don’t know and I don’t care.
Congress can charge him with Contempt.
From https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/contempt_of_congress
Quote______________________________________
Contempt of Congress is when an individual intentionally interferes with Congressional action. Congress has the power to restrain such individuals from interfering with its actions. It is a form of contempt, similar to contempt of court.
Congress’s ability to hold individuals in contempt who interfere with its duties is considered an implied power of the legislature. The U.S. Supreme Court summarized this principle in the 1917 case Marshall v. Gordon, stating, “in virtue of the grant of legislative authority, there would be a power implied to deal with contempt insofar as that authority was necessary to preserve and carry out the legislative authority given.” That is, although the Federal Constitution does not explicitly provide for Congressional power to hold individuals in contempt, such power is considered implied because without it, Congress could not effectively carry out its duties.

That’s about it. We’re sunk.
Next thing we know, people will start disappearing.
willfully not knowing vs. knowing and not caring.
Biden is a criminal, 10 times over. The evidence is everywhere. Garland should have appointed a Special Prosecuter, independent of the DOJ or Biden command. But he won’t.
IMPEACH AND REMOVE GARLAND, YOU IDIOT REPUBLICANS!!!!
“It’s beyond obvious America is in its post elections phase”.
Yes, it is. I am no longer registered to vote but hope I will register again.
“Defund the IRS”.
One way to bring this corrupt gov’t to it’s knees is mass tax revolt.
If the GOP defunded all of the IRS and 3/4 of the DOJ 2024 will a GOP landslide
BREAKING: A Biden administration whistleblower informed Congress today that the “entire investigative team” working on the Hunter Biden case at the IRS was removed from the case today, and that that their removal was specifically requested by DOJ.

This is getting depressing really.
In the face of injustice and evil, there is no accountability and it only emboldens more injustice and greater evil
We are seeing this unfold more and more.
My solution is going be utter apathy. Tune it all out and live life as best that can be unaffected.
Banana-republic cabals have nothing on American corruption. This country brings it to a whole new level.
According to the Supreme Court, they can have the Sergeant at Arms make an arrest.
Agreed about the tiger part, but that’s because they don’t bite. They need to start.
Action, not words. Now!
The Dems don’t care if it’s obvious or not. Gotta protect the Dem POTUS at all costs.....................
Absolutely true!...................
