WaPo reported yesterday that investigators have concluded they have enough to indict Hunter.

Only took them 18 months...

Gonna be a hoot if you have to acknowledge a second Trump administration...

Whistleblower #2

A second IRS whistleblower in the criminal investigation of first son Hunter Biden emerged Monday in documents sent to Congress following the purge of the entire investigatory team looking into President Biden’s son for tax fraud and related crimes.

The new whistleblower is a special agent in the IRS’s international tax and financial crimes group and worked on the Hunter Biden case since it was opened in 2018 — until he was ousted without explanation last week.

The agent joins his supervisor, who plans to testify behind closed doors before the House Ways and Means Committee on Friday, in publicly registering concerns about how the Justice Department has handled the investigation.

Both IRS whistleblowers expressed concerns internally for years about the case being swept under the rug but got nowhere, and they lay out extensive claims of retaliation in new disclosures to Congress.

Wow. This could be major.

@Mik IRS isn't under the DOJ, last time I looked. It's Treasury. Who's pulling the strings. ~~and why~~?

On CBS? There's definitely a story there if they felt they had to publish it.

Shapley, the whistleblower gave a long interview last night.

Not much new. He reiterated how, at multiple times, evidence of more serious wrongdoing was stifled and investigations were hindered by prosecutors.

Of note:

He took notes at the time of his meeting and emailed them to himself to serve as a record of his recollections. So, it's not "yeah, I remember this happened about 5 years ago." Rather, it's "This is important. As soon as I get home, I'm going to write it down and email myself the memo."

He acknowledges Weiss's statements that he (Weiss) had full authority. Nevertheless, he says that Weiss said something quite different at the time (as noted in the email).

Finally, there are six wintesses, all telling the same story about Weiss saying that he doesn't have authority.
