Someone is lying: Either the attorney general of the USA or the U.S. attorney for the District of Delaware is lying about the investigation into Hunter Biden's alleged tax crimes; They can't both be right

Either the attorney general of the United States or the U.S. attorney for the District of Delaware is lying about the investigation into Hunter Biden's alleged tax crimes.  Jonathan Turley laid the situation out three days ago:

"I'm not the deciding official."

Those five words, allegedly from Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, shocked IRS and FBI investigators in a meeting on October 22, 2022. This is because, in refusing to appoint a special counsel, Attorney Garland Merrick Garland had repeatedly assured the public and Congress that Weiss had total authority over his investigation.

IRS supervisory agent Gary A. Shapley Jr. told Congress he was so dismayed by Weiss's statement and other admissions that he memorialized them in a communication to other team members.

In fact, it later came to light that Shapley was so dismayed that he told at least six witnesses of his dismay, as the New York Post reported Monday:

The federal prosecutor tasked with investigating Hunter Biden told at least six witnesses last year that he lacked authority to charge the first son outside Delaware and was denied special counsel status, according to an IRS whistleblower — and now the House Judiciary Committee wants to talk to them.

Delaware US Attorney David Weiss made the shocking disclosure at an Oct. 7, 2022, meeting with top IRS and FBI officials — contradicting sworn testimony from Attorney General Merrick Garland, IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley told the House Ways and Means Committee last month.

"He surprised us by telling us on the charges, 'I'm not the deciding official on whether charges are filed,'" Shapley recounted in his May 26 testimony, which the committee released Thursday.
