The lead prosecutor in the Hunter Biden criminal tax case is refusing for now to cooperate with a congressional investigation into IRS whistleblower allegations that the Justice Department substantially interfered with the investigation to spare the president’s son more severe punishment.
“I am not at liberty to provide the materials you seek,” Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss wrote House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan on Friday in a letter obtained by Just the News.
“The whistleblowers’ allegations relate to a criminal investigation that is now being prosecuted in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware,” Weiss added. “At this juncture, I am required to protect confidential law enforcement information and deliberative communications related to the case. Thus, I will not provide specific information related to the Hunter Biden investigation at this time.”

But Weiss did weigh in on two topics that lawmakers are concerned about since IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley and a colleague made their bombshell revelations in recent weeks.
First, the prosecutor steadfastly denied he or the DOJ retaliated against Shapley and his entire IRS team, though Weiss did not address the core allegation that DOJ sought to remove the investigators from the Hunter Biden case after they started blowing the whistle.

We have precedent, Trump’s attorney’s were forced to violate client confidentiality. Sauce for the goose, after all, sauce for the gander.
I thought he was evasive. Did he ask for permission to bring charges and get denied? He did not answer that.
Give him the “Steve Bannon” treatment.
There is no need for a US Attorney for Delaware. That work can be done out of Baltimore or similar. If the GOP was serious here they would zero out that budget line and move on.
Force him to appear.
When Richard Nixon did a lot less than this, the “press” called it a modified, limited Hangout and talked about it for years. Now there is, silence.
So Garland let one of the agents stay, but told him to STFU.
The “ Delaware Way.”
The “ Delaware Way.”

The Delaware Way
He’s telling you - I’m not betraying the Bidens in DE and committing Career Suicide, and I’m not cooperating with Congress.
So, why wait three weeks to hear him follow in the path and Wray, Comey, etc?
Start the Impeachment Inquiry and you’ll have plenary Subpoena Power.
Unless the game is to pull Joe across the Finish line again.

Murky, murky murky. No wonder the plea-agreed Hunter tax case is technically still being called “ongoing.” So they can evade any questioning.
the media are co-conspirators
Addlepated Slowjoe thinks “Good Boy Hunter” is completely absolved of crimes via the stinko plea deal.
So he’s planning on giving Hunter a high govt job, whatever Hunter desires (gag).
The two have no clue as to the degree of contempt and loathing of Hunter is out there.

Investigative reporter Paul Sperry reported on Friday night “investigators” have evidence that then Vice President Joe Biden shared classified national defense information, including briefings on US troops stationed overseas, with his crackhead son and business partner Hunter Biden. Hunter did not hold ANY classified security clearance. ..... Snip......
Hunter was given access to the documents by his father. And he was sharing the information with his overseas business associates in Ukraine. The Biden crime family made millions in Ukraine performing nefarious and criminal activities including espionage.
TGP reported in January that the greedy Bidens were using classified information to their financial benefit........

Can you name someone that so many immediately and reflexively recoil when it comes to Investigating?
It’s an open Secret in DC that Biden lived like a King on $126,000 a year. His place in Potomac was way over the top.
I think many of the Republicans think others were involved and it’s not healthy for the Public to see how Biden lived outside the law for decades - and no one did a thing.
The Senate Republicans protected Hunter and Joe from 16-20 for 1,460 days.
It’s really hard to explain why we don’t have an Impeachment Inquiry, especially since the Agencies are running interference for Joey Three Scoops.
They’re counting on the little delays to add up and then embrace Election season as the reason why Joe must be protected.

What does Hunter know about this?
In the absence of official scrutiny of Biden’s endless spending spree on Ukraine, The Grayzone conducted an independent audit of US funding for the country.
We discovered a series of wasteful, highly unusual expenditures the Biden administration has yet to explain.
ALL ABOARD the Zelensky/Biden gravy train:
an independent audit of US tax dollar funding for Ukraine
BY HEATHER KAISER, ANYA PARAMPIL AND MAX BLUMENTHAL

JUNE 27, 2023
During a recent discussion with New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Samantha Power, touted her organization’s push to guarantee transparency for US taxpayer funds sent to Ukraine.
“We are involved in funding efforts at ensuring judicial integrity, which is intrinsically important to building Ukraine’s democracy and its integration plans to get into Europe,” Power declared, adding USAID’s work in Ukraine was “also really important in terms of assuring the taxpayer, the American taxpayer, that they’re resources are well spent.”
While innocuous on the surface, Power’s comments revealed a great deception the US government is currently waging against the American public. In the roughly 16 months since Russia’s February 2022 escalation of the Ukraine conflict, the US government has approved several multi-billion dollar spending packages to sustain the Kiev military’s fight against Moscow.
Though many Americans likely believe that US dollars allocated for Ukraine are spent directly on supplies for the war effort, the lead author of this report, Heather Kaiser, conducted a thorough review of Washington’s budget for the 2022 and 2023 fiscal year and discovered that is far from the case.
US taxpayers may be shocked to learn that as their families grappled with fears of Social Security’s looming insolvency, the Social Security Administration in Washington sent $4.48 million to the Kiev government in 2022 and 2023 alone. In another example of bizarre spending, USAID paid off $4.5 billion worth of Ukraine’s sovereign debt through payments made to the World Bank — all while Congress went to loggerheads over America’s ballooning national debt. (Western financial interests including BlackRock Inc. are among the largest holders of Ukrainian government bonds.)
Though it is nearly impossible to calculate the total sum of US tax dollars sent to Kiev, Kaiser was able to perform an independent audit of Washington’s proxy war in Ukraine through a careful search of open source data available on the US government’s official spending tracker.
Kaiser reviewed all the funding allocations in which Ukraine was listed as the “Place of Performance” for fiscal years 2022 and 2023. Additionally, she discovered supplementary funds were sent to Kiev by listing Ukraine as the “justification” for spending, rather than the location where the money was physically sent.
Calculating the total dollar amount that the US has given to Ukraine is incredibly challenging for multitude of reasons: there is a lag in reporting expenditures; covert money given by the CIA (Title 50 Covert Action) won’t be publicly disclosed; and direct military assistance in the form of military equipment is not calculated in the same manner as raw cash. The Pentagon recently admitted to an accounting error revised up to 6.2 billion dollars. Despite this, Kaiser submitted a request to the Department of Treasury asking them to disclose the total dollar amount of US taxpayer support for Ukraine. Treasury has not responded at the time of publication.
Though Kaiser was able to search through pages of reported spending, the US government has yet to conduct an official audit of its funding for Ukraine. What’s more, there is currently no limit to how much Washington can send to Kiev.
In the absence of dedicated official scrutiny of Washington’s spending in Ukraine, The Grayzone has produced an independent audit of US tax dollar allocation in the country.
Among the many troubling contracts we discovered was a $4.25 million payment from the Pentagon to a military diving contractor that a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee has described as a “fraudulent company.” The US government asserts the payment covered the company’s delivery of explosives equipment to Ukraine.
So how exactly was that money put to use? And why has Congress so far refused to implement any program to track these shady weapons deals?
Unfortunately, the “justification” for contracts like these often consists of just a brief paragraph — or worse, a single sentence. Little little information is available that documents precisely how the funds were spent down to the dollar and item.
Beneficiaries of USAID’s Ukraine aid: Polish NATO lobbyists, a private equity firm, rural Kenyans, a TV station in Toronto

Some important things…
Joe thinks Hunter is smart (Ukrainians said he was an Idiot in emails).
He’s using Camp David to strategize on how to sew this up.
Long time Dem Attorneys are working with Joe.
Joe had a system for stealing Docs from a SCIF.
As long as their not removing Wray / Garland / Weiss - Joe’s confident the Deep State will do whatever it takes.
Jim Comey said 30 days ago - it can only be Joe Biden. There are no other options.
.
Methinks this is a crucial mistake:
<><>big buddies Hunter and Slowjoe all smiles at state dinners,
<><> all hunky dory traveling together on govt aircraft to govt properties,
<><>happy as clams Hunter was “saved” from jail,
<><>just one big happy family.......so innocent.....raking in the dough.
Grow a pair MCCarthy! ( Trump 1.0 pick.)
How can there be an “ongoing investigation” into misdeeds for which the statute of limitations has expired?
