IRS whistleblower: Hunter Biden hasn’t paid taxes on 2014 money from Ukrainian oligarch’s firm
Just the News ^ | Updated: June 29, 2023 - 11:18pm | John Solomon

Federal agents secured evidence that Hunter Biden engaged in a “pretty classic tax evasion scheme” that allowed him to avoid paying taxes on millions of dollars in income since at least 2014, and the deal he ultimately got would not have been afforded to other Americans facing such serious charges, an IRS whistleblower who supervised the investigation tells Just the News.

“If these facts were from the local businessman or the neighbor next door, they would have been charged, they would have already probably had their entire sentence,” IRS Supervisor Agent Gary Shapley said during a 45-minute interview aired Thursday on the John Solomon Reports podcast.

Shapley, and a second IRS whistleblower whose name has not been released, rocked Washington earlier this month when they told the House Ways and Means Committee that Justice Department engaged in significant political interference in Hunter Biden’s tax cases that thwarted agents from getting search warrants, interviewing witnesses and ultimately bringing the serious felony charges that career prosecutors believed were warranted against President Joe Biden’s son.

Shapley, a 14-year veteran of the IRS, reiterated to Just the News what he told lawmakers, and strongly disputed some liberal attacks that he is a disgruntled agent. He said the cases he has worked on just the last few years will have recovered nearly $5 billion by year’s end in taxpayer money from all over the globe.

“I'm pro-IRS. I'm pro mission. I'm pro agency,” he said. “I've been a senior leader at this agency, I have a lot of great friends in senior leadership. And I believe in what we're doing. But I believe in what we're doing, when we're treating people fairly. And, you know, it just didn't happen in this particular case.”

Now we can get out of taxes:

I identify as Hunter Biden, you had better drop any tax investigations on me.

I am pretty certain he has also engaged in a child support evasion scheme.

the only things he has not done are having been engaged in a sex/drug evasion scheme.

Al Capone’s daddy wasn’t a politician.

When we owed a chunk of change to the IRS years ago, they charged us interest and penalties. When Timothy Geithner owed back taxes in 2008 they said it was “an honest mistake,” and removed the interest and penalties. Special rules for special folks.

Sarcasm, I presume? Without checking anything, wasn’t he on the Lolita Express? I just wonder if they were doing adrenochrome there?

As self-employed, I make quarterly tax deposits with IRS and generally overpay what I owe. Made no difference when I missed a quarterly - got hit with interest and penalties. But then again, I’m not from a family of crooks.

“Jordan said lawmakers have particular interest in a federal prosecutor named Leslie Wolf, who was identified by Shapley and a second IRS whistleblower as having told agents all the way in 2020 they couldn’t take certain steps to investigate Hunter Biden or Joe Biden”

I wonder if Leslie Wolf will do for FJB what Susan McDougal did for Bill Clinton.

Not the “under the desk” stuff, the “go to jail” for him stuff . . .

He settled the child support situation the other day. 2014 is past the 7 year statute of limitations. All they can do now is perhaps bill him what is owed.

I just finished a long audit process. I paid the taxes and interest ( compounded daily). But they agreed it was an error in good faith…so no fines. And…I am not special to anyone except my wife and kids.

The clown was into serious tax evasion over many years. It is a pattern, not a mistake. He should have been charged with evasion, felony, not some BS misdomeanor.

“Sarcasm, I presume?”

No, not at all, I don’t think Hunter ever schemed to evade sex or drugs, quite the opposite as evidenced by his laptop

I don’t disagree. My case was clearly a mistake and I made a payment within a day of figuring it out. The result (3 years later) was a bill of $108 in additional taxes and a shit ton of interest.

Hunter tried like hell to evade paying taxes. And he made it difficult for the IRS going after him.
