Hunter Biden failed to pay taxes on $8.3 MILLION in income and the DOJ REJECTED U.S. attorney bids to bring charges in Washington D.C. and California, IRS whistleblowers reveal in bombshell testimony
Daily Mail ^ | 6/22/23 | Morgan Phillips, Geoff Earle

The House Ways and Means Committee released bombshell new whistleblower testimony Thursday claiming that Hunter Biden failed to pay taxes on $8.3 million in income and the Department of Justice denied attempts to bring charges in other states.

The testimony revealed that U.S. Attorney David Weiss - the Trump-era holdover who prosecuted the case against Hunter Biden - allegedly asked for special counsel status and was denied by the Department of Justice.

Weiss also allegedly tried to bring charges against Hunter in Washington D.C. and California in the fall of 2022 and had that request denied in January 2023.

But Weiss said in a letter to lawmakers earlier this month the DOJ granted him 'ultimate authority' on when and where to bring charges.

It all amounted to conduct that longtime IRS investigator Gary Shapley said amounted to 'preferential treatment' for the president's son.

Attorney General Merrick Garland just Wednesday vouched for Weiss, saying he had given him 'full authority' to decide how to handle the situation. 'And that’s what he’s done,' Garland said.

The unverified testimony came from two IRS whistleblowers as news broke this week that Hunter Biden had agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax offenses while dispensing with a gun charge against him, likely allowing him to avoid prison time.

Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith, R-Mo., revealed in a press conference that two IRS employees had claimed that the agency sought felony charges against Hunter Biden for attempting to evade taxes and making false statements.

According to Smith, the whistleblowers, one of whom the committee later identified as Shapley, said Hunter failed to pay $2.2 million in taxes on $8.3 million in income from foreign entities in Ukraine, China, and Romania.

His guilty plea this week only related to $1.5 million in unreported income.

You’d almost think Washington, D.C. is riddled with corruption.

Now, who would ever think like that? /S

Yep... if the 17th Amendment did not exist, slow biden would never have been a Senator..

Time to repeal the 17th Amendment and eliminate the Senior Executive Service via a Convention of States with two line items to be voted on number one repeal the 17th Amendment and two eliminate the senior executive service.

Those who scoff at the law and have gained power through questionable means, are banding together to ram it down our collective throats. This is no longer a mere annoyance implying an underlying threat, it has gone existential, and is aimed at creating irreparable damage to the very fabric of the Great American Experiment.

King George III of England posed a similar threat in the late 18th Century to the colonies of North America, of which some colonies chose acquisition, but the more southernly colonies chose rebellion. Thus were born the Dominion of Canada, and the United States.

Today the external threat is not the British Crown, but the World Economic Forum, to which Canada has chosen to submit, and which certain factions within the United States are trying very hard to bring this country on board with the New World Order.

The WEF is NOT a legitimate body for the dictation of rules, some of which are poorly thought out or established in a highly undemocratic manner, and are aimed at abolishing local governmental authority. Their objectives of “equity, social, and governance” proceed from a flawed vision of human behavior, and the goals of “diversity, equity and inclusion” cannot be achieved without severe penalties being placed upon those who do not conform. There is no room in this outlook for compromise, or reconsideration, or even discussion of growing problems.

Authoritarian regimes are all alike in one respect - they believe themselves to the the supreme authority on every aspect of life, and rule by decree or fiat outweighs any parliamentary procedure or representative election of legislators. Command-and-control seems at first to be more “efficient”, but results in a sullen and sometimes contrarian population, with ferment rising over time.

Because of a mistake I made in doing taxes I owed $3,000 one year and the IRS hounded me to death until I paid in full or would be subject to legal action and penalty.

Someone should make a list of all the agencies that have saved Hunter Biden.

Just a start:

Delaware State Police
Secret Service (they volunteered to protect him after his detail unit was over/ expired.

No one is above the Law though!

This is the third term of Obama and that "regime" which burrowed into the bureaucracy with one clear purpose. This is the result. Protect the corrupt to further the grift.

Another wealthy POS not paying his taxes. The far-left bastards love to complain about that crap but when it’s their side who is doing it, they give him a slap on the wrist and a misdemeanor pat on the ass. HYPOCRITES! The bastards love making laws but not for themselves. They make them apply to Americans only. Bobby Bidenskyyyy’s ass needs to go to prison. Especially for violating so called “gun control” laws that the far-left, Dung Beetle turd rollers claim are so important to them. Damn gun confiscation NAZIS.

That’s because we opened the door to evil when we closed the door on God. Taking prayer out of school was the first step to where we are today.

“Law enforcement” in this once-great country is now in the service of a corrupt administration and is being used to harass its enemies and reward its friends.

What a travesty. There has always been a multi tiered system of justice, but like everything else, the cheaters aren’t even trying to hide. No more under the table sweetheart deals. They’re openly doing it and daring us to do anything about it.

Favored DemocRats don’t have to pay income taxes. Al Sharpton has owed millions for years and is still walking free. Income taxes are for the peasants.
