On Sunday, Breitbart<\/a> posted an article about the case against Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Department of Justice (DOJ) planned to let Hunter Biden off the hook without charges until two whistleblowers came forward to expose political interference in the investigation, despite the claims of Attorney General Merrick Garland.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0New York Times<\/em> exposed<\/a> the inside dealings of Hunter Biden\u2019s attorneys with senior officials at DOJ, who had constrained U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss even as Garland was testifying to Congress that Weiss had full authority to act in the case.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, The Times found, Mr. Weiss appeared willing to forgo any prosecution of Mr. Biden at all, and his office came close to agreeing to end the investigation without requiring a guilty plea on any charges. But the correspondence reveals that his position, relayed through his staff, changed in the spring, around the time a pair of I.R.S. officials on the case accused the Justice Department of hamstringing the investigation. Mr. Weiss suddenly demanded that Mr. Biden plead guilty to committing tax offenses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2026As the testimony from the I.R.S. agents took hold, Mr. Biden\u2019s legal team felt the ground shift beneath them. The U.S. attorney\u2019s office suddenly went quiet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

The whistleblowers,\u00a0IRS Criminal Supervisory Special Agent Gary A. Shapley Jr.<\/a> and\u00a0IRS Special Agent Joseph Ziegler<\/a>, told the House of Representatives that prosecutors would not let them pursue Hunter Biden\u2019s tax crimes, and had sometimes tipped off the president\u2019s son about impending searches or interviews.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The result was a \u201csweetheart\u201d plea deal that would have prevented Hunter Biden from being investigated further \u2014 until federal judge\u00a0Maryellen Noreika, a Donald Trump appointee, balked<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Garland named Weiss a Special Counsel in the case, raising suspicions that his real purpose was to continue the cover-up. Charges were withdrawn from Noreika \u2014 ostensibly to be pursued elsewhere, but possibly to avoid her jurisdiction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Does anyone really believe that Hunter Biden is being treated the same way any American would be who committed the crimes he is accused of?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
