GOP House docs back whistleblower accounts of key 2022 meeting for Hunter Biden investigation team

The FBI agent in charge of the investigative team working on the Hunter Biden case gave testimony to Congress that the media claimed undermined the account of IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley.

Yet new documents from the now-public trove that IRS whistleblowers disclosed to the House Ways and Means Committee lend credibility to Shapley’s testimony and call into question what the FBI agent remembered about the meeting.

Yet, much of what Sobocinski remembered about the meeting is disputed by contemporaneous documents and other testimony.

Sobocinski recalled that the meeting was scheduled because of a leak to the media about the investigation of the first son, according to his testimony obtained by "Just the News."

The day before the meeting, the "The Washington Post" published an exclusive report that federal agents saw possible charges against Biden for failing to submit tax returns and for a false statement during a gun purchase.

“Do you know who called the meeting? Was it a regularly scheduled meeting?” committee investigators asked.

Sobocinski said: “I don't have a sense of whether it was previously scheduled or it was we were showing up because of that. My memory is it was I was there because of the timing as it related to that leak."

Yet documents released by the committee last week show that the meeting was scheduled weeks in advance, before the "The Washington Post" story was published and before the leak became an issue. In fact, Shapley requested days earlier that specific issues he had with the case, such as delays and difficulties with charging venue, be discussed.

The number of lies told by the Biden-supporting bureaucracy is almost laughable. Almost, but not quite. It is actually scary what our government agencies have turned into over the past few decades. Along with their partners in crime, the media. Cesspools of corruption.

Also, when I was searching to see if this article had been posted, I came across the link below from early 2020. It shows just how long they have been covering for the Biden family. The DOJ/FBI knew of the Biden family's corruption with Ukraine at the time Trump was being impeached over his "perfect" phone call. And they were silent.

Is it recalled or testified? #*^%€¥•

The one skill guaranteed to get you a job in fedgov today is knowing how to lie with a straight face...

Remember when they blocked investigation into Rudy and let the statute of limitations expire? Because there is one set of laws and equal protection.

So help me, Just the News needs a new editor, or an editor if they don’t have one. The logic of the presentation of the news that appears in this article escapes me.

Well stated.

If the testimony was not under oath then it should have been. If it was under oath then congress needs to charge Sobocinski with lying to it.
