IRS whistleblower claim that evidence on Hunter Biden swept under the rug bolstered by court filing

The evidence prosecutors plan to cite in Hunter Biden’s California federal tax trial in the coming months states that the first son was paid by a foreign client in exchange for influencing U.S. policy. This provides evidence for a key claim the IRS whistleblowers brought to Congress last year: the Department of Justice had evidence of crimes by Hunter Biden, but failed to charge them before the statute of limitations expired.

According to motions filed earlier this week, federal prosecutors are planning to cite evidence at trial that Hunter Biden and his business associates were paid by a Romanian businessman to influence U.S. policy and public opinion.

Tristan Leavitt, the president of Empower Oversight whose group represents IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, said this new filing was “infuriating” in a post to X Thursday.

“…Special Counsel Weiss is demonstrating to a T exactly what SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler blew the whistle on: Weiss's office had clear evidence of crimes by Hunter Biden that they almost swept under the rug when they allowed the statute of limitations to expire,” he wrote.

“Weiss is just using the Romanian payments as evidence of intent to evade taxes,” he added. “But the evidence (not "allegations," as the filings point out) shows what Hunter Biden ‘did do for [Gabriel Popoviciu]’--and the fact of the matter is that it violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act.”

“but failed to charge them before the statute of limitations expired”

That’s not a problem. The Democrats have shown that the statute of limitations has no meaning since they have ignored it in going after Trump in NY. So, as long as it has no meaning, it can be ignored and they can go after Hunter.

I would be in favor with offering Hunter clemency and immunity in exchange for testimony about everything he knows about the targeting of Trump, the people controlling his father’s administration, the shielding of his father’s medical issues from the public, and how they removed him from the presidential ticket.

Excellent summation of a strategy that will never happen. Hunter wouldn’t be a week without accidentally overdosing.

The amount of time between a “conspiracy theory” turning into a “spoiler alert” is becoming shorter and shorter each day.
