FBI Whistleblower Says FBI Intentionally Blocking Security Clearances For Trump Officials

It should not come as a surprise to see the same methods deployed against President Trump in 2024 that were used by the FBI in 2016. The difference is now that President Trump understands the full power of his office in the security clearance process and that he doesn’t need the FBI.
In 2016 the FBI used their power to conduct security clearances as a tool to stall and block President Trump appointments. Historically this is one of the ways a very corrupt and political FBI interfere in any system that might be against the interests of the Intelligence Community that controls them. However, in 2024 President-Elect Trump and his transition team have already taken a different approach.

First the report:
WASHINGTON DC – An official at FBI headquarters in Washington is warning that the bureau’s security clearance division is politicized and can’t be trusted to screen President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees for top administration jobs.
The allegations of political bias at the FBI’s security division, or SecD, were revealed in a protected whistleblower disclosure sent to the House Judiciary Committee, which The Washington Times reviewed.
The official said the security clearance process has been “contaminated by the political agendas of [security division] officials and other executives in the FBI.” (more*)

This is not any earth-shattering revelation. We painstakingly discussed this in a multitude of prior research discussions. The motive of the Whistleblower to come forth now, is likely because President Trump is already working around the problem.

WASHINGTON DC – President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is skipping the protocol of using the FBI to conduct background checks, according to a report.
Instead, the president-elect’s team is turning to private companies to vet administrative appointees, people familiar with transition planning told CNN. Trump has criticized the FBI for its slow investigation process and feared it would delay his ability to roll out his agenda.
A security clearance is needed for some Cabinet positions, such as attorney general, and the process of obtaining one includes an FBI background check.
Dan Meyer, a national security attorney, told CNN Trump’s mistrust of the FBI and the deep state has made him go completely rogue. [They] “don’t want the FBI to coordinate a norm. They want to hammer the norm,” Meyer told CNN.
The Trump transition team’s decision to bypass the FBI background check comes as Trump has nominated former Reps. Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard for attorney general and National Intelligence director, respectively — both controversial picks.
Because President Trump is making civics great again, it’s worth reminding everyone that President Trump has unilateral decision-making authority to grant anyone a security clearance. The President (atop the executive) can give anyone he chooses a top-secret security clearance status, simply by saying this person has top-secret security clearance. Yes, it really is that easy.
The President can choose his advisors and choose to share anything – even the most top-secret information in the country – with his advisors and cabinet members. That’s what we elect him/her to do; to use his/her judgement to make decisions.
This is one of the powers within the office that cannot be challenged by any other silo, branch or institution. The security clearance rules are what President Trump says the security clearance rules are.
There is no outside silo in the Executive Branch, who can supersede the decision of President Trump.

 Being a HABITUAL ‘Conspiracy Theorist’ you can expect this sort of thing from me … I hope it’s true BUT I will hold off on making rabid accusations. My problem is I’m so used to ‘knowing things’ and the liberal media just sweeps those ‘things’ under the dis/mis information rug and it slips from view for a while. I hope the whistleblower doesn’t commit “Hillarycide” before this story gains some momentum.

The debate was a sham and a scam for several reasons. Now, hopefully ABC will be exposed for showing extreme bias and for ‘possibly’ providing Harris with answers to the questions.

WHOA: CNN just HAMMERED ABC News for its biased presidential debate moderation.

BREAKING: Whistleblower Claims Michael Avenatti Reportedly Revealed Michael Cohen Was Having Affair With Stormy Daniels Since 2006—Cooked Up Hush Money Scheme To Extort Money From Trump Before 2016 Election.

Tony Seruga is a very popular commentator on Twitter. In his profile, the conservative commentator with over 77K followers, Mr. Seruga, states that he’s an Intel Ops CIA/NSA Contractor/Whistleblower.
This afternoon, Mr. Seruga dropped a bombshell, and if true, it could blow up the whole Stormy Daniels affair with Trump lie that the mainstream media and Democrats have been clinging to since 2015.
Tony Seruga claims he used to share office space with the convicted felon and former attorney, Michael Avenatti, who represented porn star Stormy Daniels in her case alleging that then-presidential candidate Donald J. Trump paid her hush money to keep their alleged “affair” out of the public.
Seruga’s tweet begins: “I spoke with Michael Avenatti, who at one time had an office in the same building as one of my businesses in Newport Beach, CA (in November 2018, a few days after his arrest on suspicion of domestic violence, Avenatti’s law firm was evicted from those same offices in Newport Beach after skipping $213,000 worth of rent payments.).”

https://twitter.com/TonySeruga/status/1773012872618295439

https://twitter.com/TonySeruga/status/1773030531472753072

He explained how the conversation between him and the dirty lawyer, Michael Avenatti, was initiated:
“Avenatti was working a long con against Tully’s Coffee and actor Patrick Dempsey. Avenatti Global Baristas, the parent company of the Tully’s coffee chain that was founded by Michael Avenatti, had agreed to never again use the Tully’s name, but Avenatti was lying.
He wanted to use my trademark attorney Rod Underhill to take control of the Tully’s Coffee name and trademarks. I learned later it was yet another attempt to extort money from Keurig Green Mountain.”
Here’s where Seruga’s story gets to be very interesting as it relates to Stormy Daniels and former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, “In any case, Avenatti shared details of his client Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, case and the fact that her and Michael Cohen were actually having an affair since 2006.”

Cohen - Avenatti - Daniels

And then, Seruga drops a bombshell:
“The whole hush money scheme was cooked up by Michael Cohen to extort the Trump Organization before the 2016 election. Avenatti seemed pleased at how deviant Michael Cohen was.”
Seruga followed up his first tweet by explaining how the shady lawyer Michael Avenatti bragged about the scheme more than once and even bragged about it to former NBA star Dennis Rodman on the patio in Corona Del Mar, CA. In addition to being one of the all-time best defensive players in the NBA, Dennis Rodman is known for his relationship with Madonna and his unusual friendship with North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un. So, it’s pretty easy to believe Rodman could be friends with the flamboyant CA lawyer Michael Avenatti.
“Understand, Michael Avenatti is a serial liar, but he did speak about his client (that he would later steal from) and Michael Cohen’s affair touching on their scheme to bilk the Trump Organization out of money. He spoke about it on more than one occasion. He was very passionate that Trump had not signed the NDA making it null and void. One time, in fact, he was bragging about it to Dennis Rodman at the Port Restaurant out on the patio, in Corona Del Mar, CA. I was only half listening as I had heard it all before, but Dennis Rodman seemed engaged in the conversation.”
Another popular Twitter personality from California, who goes by “SL,” had this to say about the Dennis Rodman and Michael Avenatti conversation that allegedly occurred at the Port Restaurant in California.

Interesting. I know Dennis Rodman visits Port Restaurant on occasion since I had a conversion [conversation] [with] him there around 2015/2016. Likely to be a true story.

On Monday, when asked by reporters, President Trump said that he would testify in the alleged hush money payment to Stormy Daniels’ trial in NYC that was brought against him by the rabidly anti-Trump,] but soft-on-actual criminals DA Alvin Bragg.

“I would have no problem testifying,” Trump said. “I didn’t do anything wrong.”

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-trump-reveals-he-would-testify-in-stormy-daniels-trial/ar-BB1kvO41

Trump also suggested that he’s planning to appeal the trial date set for April 15 and said he’s unsure if there will even be a trial following his appeals.
This is just one more case in a long string of ridiculous cases without merit that are being brought against the most popular presidential candidate in America. The Left has no other options but to tie him up in court and hope to bankrupt President Trump, his family, and his business as they force Trump to defend himself against one bogus charge after another.

 BREAKING: Biden DOJ Indicts Whistleblower Gal Luft Days After He Releases Video Detailing Criminal Allegations Against Biden Crime Family

Beyond the big picture of the Biden justice department filing a criminal indictment against the man who provided the FBI with evidence of Joe and Hunter Biden’s corrupt dealings with the FBI, is the secondary point of the Biden DOJ once again using FARA violations as the tip of the spear against their targets.
Last week Dr. Gal Luft went public with statements about who, when, how and why he informed the FBI and DOJ of Joe and Hunter Biden taking payments from companies associated with the Chinese Communist Party.  Today, Joe Biden’s DOJ filed criminal charges against Dr. Luft.
Quite a remarkable development. Dr. Luft was the one who contacted the FBI/DOJ with the information. Now Dr. Luft is the target for giving the information to the FBI/DOJ.
[DOJ ANNOUNCEMENT] – […] “He subverted foreign agent registration laws in the United States to seek to promote Chinese policies by acting through a former high-ranking U.S. Government official; he acted as a broker in deals for dangerous weapons and Iranian oil; and he told multiple lies about his crimes to law enforcement. As the charges unsealed today reflect, our Office will continue to work vigorously with our law enforcement partners to detect and hold accountable those who surreptitiously attempt to perpetrate malign foreign influence campaigns here in the United States.”

Holiday Weekend News Dump Implodes Merrick Garland’s Biden-Investigation Testimony.

new letter sent by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to the House Judiciary Committee suggests Attorney General Merrick Garland lied to Congress when he testified that Weiss “has full authority” to charge Hunter Biden in “other jurisdictions.” Whether Garland committed perjury will all come down to the meaning of the word “has.” 

Late Friday, just as Americans unplugged for the long Independence Day weekend, Weiss confirmed he didn’t really have “ultimate authority” over the Hunter Biden criminal investigation. In his letter, Weiss gave away the deceptive word game he has been playing with Congress — and Garland has been playing with America. More significantly, the letter suggests Biden’s attorney general lied to Congress and that everything the IRS whistleblower has said is true.
What the Whistleblower Said.
Weiss’s letter followed the House Ways and Means Committee’s release of IRS Criminal Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley’s testimony and related exhibits concerning the Hunter Biden investigation headed out of the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office. The transcript of Shapley’s May 26, 2023, closed-door testimony revealed the IRS agent had told the House committee that during an Oct. 7, 2022 meeting between Weiss and senior-level managers, Weiss allegedly said, “I am not the deciding person on whether charges are filed.”
According to Shapley’s testimony, Weiss then explained that the Biden-appointed U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Matthew Graves, refused to allow Weiss to charge Hunter Biden in the D.C. district — the necessary venue for certain charges based on Hunter Biden’s residency during the relevant time. Shapley noted, “Weiss stated that he subsequently asked for special counsel authority from Main DOJ at that time and was denied that authority.” “Instead,” Shapley recounted, Weiss “was told to follow the process,” which sent Weiss through another Biden-appointed U.S. attorney, for other potential criminal charges based in California.  
Without the cooperation of Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys, Shapley told the House committee, Weiss was unable to bring charges outside his Delaware district. And Weiss’s lack of authority led to the statute of limitations expiring on felony tax charges against the president’s son for the 2014 and 2015 tax years.
To corroborate his testimony, Shapley provided the House Ways and Means Committee with an email he had sent a colleague soon after the meeting summarizing the key points. That Oct. 7 email recounted the details to which Shapley had testified and, significantly, Shapley copied the special agent in charge of criminal investigations of the IRS D.C. field office, Darrell J. Waldon, who had also attended the Oct. 7 meeting. Waldon would then reply to Shapley’s email summary, “Thanks Gary. You covered it all,” indicating Shapley had accurately recounted Weiss’s representation that he is “not the deciding person on whether charges are filed.”
The release of Shapley’s testimony and the collaborating email was huge because it indicated both Weiss and Garland had deceived Congress. Weiss for his part had sent a letter to the House Judiciary Committee on June 7, 2023, stating:
I want to make clear that, as the Attorney General has stated, I have been granted ultimate authority over this matter, including responsibility for deciding where, when, and whether to file charges and for making decisions necessary to preserve the integrity of the prosecution, consistent with federal law, the Principles of Federal Prosecution, and Departmental regulations.
Weiss’s Friday letter was in response to questions House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan posed to the Delaware U.S. attorney about his claim “to have been granted ultimate authority” over the Hunter Biden investigation.
In his pre-Fourth of July weekend epistle, the Delaware U.S. attorney said he stood by what he wrote in the June 7, 2023 letter. He added, however, that he wished to expand on what he meant. Weiss then acknowledged that as the U.S. attorney for the District of Delaware, his charging authority is geographically limited to his home district.
“If venue for a case lies elsewhere, common Departmental practice is to contact the United States Attorney’s Office for the district in question and determine whether it wants to partner on the case,” the letter noted. “If not, I may request Special Attorney status from the Attorney General pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 515.” Weiss concluded by stressing that he had “been assured that, if necessary after the above process,” he “would be granted § 515 Authority in the District of Columbia, the Central District of California, or any other district where charges could be brought in this matter.”
There was no reason Weiss could not have provided this explanation earlier — or at least no good reason: The Delaware U.S. attorney clearly intended to convey to Congress the false impression that he had “ultimate authority” to charge Hunter Biden, which would in turn suggest the IRS whistleblower’s claims to the contrary were false.
But Weiss’s clarification confirms he lacked “ultimate authority,” which is entirely consistent with Shapley’s testimony. In fact, had Shapley falsely summarized the statements Weiss made during the Oct. 7, 2022 meeting, Weiss could have easily said so. That he didn’t speaks volumes.
Lies, Lies, Lies
While Weiss’s clarification from late last week is technically consistent with what he told Congress in his June 7, 2022 letter, the same cannot be said for Garland’s earlier testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
On March 1, 2023, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, asked Garland whether Weiss had “independent charging authority over certain criminal allegations against the President’s son outside the District of Delaware.” After responding that Weiss “would have to bring the case in another district,” Garland added that “the U.S. attorney in Delaware has been advised that he has full authority … to bring cases in other jurisdictions if he feels it’s necessary” (emphasis added).
But according to Weiss’s latest letter, he didn’t have “full authority” and still doesn’t. Rather he had been assured, “if necessary,” he “would be granted § 515 Authority in the District of Columbia, the Central District of California, or any other district where charges could be brought in this matter.”
Given Shapley’s testimony, there is a huge difference between Weiss having “full authority” to bring charges in other districts and being promised a grant of such authority. If Weiss had “full authority,” as Garland told Congress, that would mean that either the whistleblower lied to Congress or Weiss lied to his senior team handling the Hunter Biden investigation. It would also clear Garland, the DOJ, and FBI headquarters of interfering in the investigation — a second allegation the whistleblower leveled in his testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee.
With both Weiss and Garland playing word games with Congress, it seems likely Weiss also sought to mislead the House when he stressed that he “had been assured” he “would be granted § 515 Authority in the District of Columbia, the Central District of California, or any other district where charges could be brought in this matter.” That language suggests Weiss always had that assurance, but from the whistleblower’s testimony, it appears Weiss had previously requested such authority and been denied it. (The whistleblower and Waldon likely confused Weiss’s reference to special attorney status with special counsel status.)
A belated promise by Garland to give Weiss special attorney authority under § 515 means nothing, as the statute of limitations has already run out for the felony tax charges. So the question remains: Was Weiss denied such authority, as the whistleblower claims Weiss told him? And when did Garland assure Weiss he would have § 515 authority? For that matter, why wouldn’t Garland have immediately conferred such authority on Weiss?
It seems unlikely Congress or the American public will learn the answers to these questions any time soon. Weiss appears to be coordinating his communications with Garland, as demonstrated by his reference in Friday’s letter to the DOJ’s Department of Legislative Affairs — further proof that Weiss is no more independent from the Biden administration than the rest of the Department of Justice.

 Heroic IRS whistleblower testimony ensnarls Hunter and Joe Biden in bribery scheme.

Every taxpayer who dutifully hands over their hard-earned cash every year to the government should be enraged by IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley’s testimony about how senior leaders at the Department of Justice, the FBI and the IRS sabotaged the five-year investigation into Hunter Biden and allowed him to walk away with a laughably lenient plea deal and unpaid taxes.
Shapley is a hero, as is the second IRS whistleblower who came forward to the House Ways and Means Committee over the last month to tell the truth about an egregious abuse of power at the highest level of the federal government to protect the president from evidence that implicated him in his son’s overseas business dealings and which line agents worried could have national security implications.
There are two strands to this growing scandal.
First is the original story of political corruption first revealed on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, which The Post broke on Oct. 14, 2020.
Second is the cover-up, which, like Watergate, has become the bigger scandal.
Corruption
Both strands are covered in Shapley’s bombshell testimony unsealed last week, and are backed up with new evidence he provided, including documents and messages retrieved from a search warrant of Hunter Biden’s iCloud, conversations from recorded internal IRS and DOJ meetings and interview transcripts with associates of Hunter Biden.
Shapley provides further evidence to add to what we previously have reported, that Joe Biden lied repeatedly to the American people when he said he knew nothing about his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings.
In fact, as we have reported, Joe Biden met with Hunter’s foreign business partners on at least a dozen occasions.
Shapley adds to the list with evidence that Joe joined Hunter and his business partners from the Chinese energy company CEFC at a lunch at the Four Seasons in Washington, DC.
This meeting was revealed by Biden family friend Rob Walker when he was interviewed by an IRS and FBI agent in December 2020.
“We were in DC at the Four Seasons, and we were having lunch and [Joe] stopped in,” Walker said in the transcript of Walker’s recorded comments provided to the committee. “He literally sat down. I don’t even think he drank water. I think Hunter said, ‘I may be trying to start a company or tried to do something with these guys and could you’ … and [Joe] was like, ‘If I’m around,’ and he’d show up.”
FBI agent Josh Wilson asked: “So, I mean, you definitely got the feeling that that was orchestrated by Hunter [to] have like an appearance by his dad at that meeting just to kind of bolster your chances at making a deal work out.”
Walker: “Sure”
Walker said the Four Seasons meeting with CEFC occurred when Joe was “out of office” but gives no date.
On Hunter’s laptop is a diary entry for Dec. 7, 2015, for a meeting with CEFC chairman Ye Jianming, who was in Washington, DC, with CEFC executive director Jianjun Zang that week to attend a lunch at the Willard Hotel hosted by Israeli Professor Gal Luft, who was working at the time with a think tank associated with CEFC.
In the later trial of Hunter’s CEFC business partner Patrick Ho, there was mention of a dinner or lunch Ho was trying to plan on or around Dec. 6, 2015, for “prominent and powerful friends.”
The details were redacted from the transcript.
Luft, the “missing” witness in the House Oversight Committee’s Biden family corruption investigation, is living as a fugitive in an undisclosed location after skipping bail in Cyprus while awaiting extradition to the US on gun-running charges that he claims are trumped up by the federal government to protect Joe Biden.
He told The Post in a weekend call that he disclosed to FBI and DOJ officials during a “proffer” meeting in March 2019, at the US Embassy in Brussels, that Ye used to brag about Joe and say, “Biden is my guy.”
He told them that Joe Biden had attended a meeting at the Four Seasons with CEFC that he believed was in 2016.

 

He also told them that CEFC had paid $100,000 a month to Hunter Biden and $65,000 to his uncle Jim, in exchange for their FBI connections and use of the Biden name to promote China’s Belt and Road Initiative around the world.
Wilson also asked Walker: “Did you hear Hunter say that he was setting up a meeting with his dad with them [overseas business partners] while Dad was in office?
Walker: “Yeah.”
Inexplicably, Wilson didn’t ask a follow-up question.
But as Shapley pointed out, the entire team had been bullied by DOJ prosecutors in Delaware into not asking about “the big guy” — a.k.a. Joe Biden, who was referred to in meetings simply as “dad.”
Shapley also provided the House Ways and Means Committee with encrypted WhatsApp messages from Hunter, which were obtained with a search warrant from the first son’s iCloud account.
In one message, sent on July 30, 2017, Hunter writes to CEFC employee and translator Raymond Zhao, warning him to pay the $5 million he owes his family: “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight.”
Hunter warns Zhao that if he does not comply, “I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting her waiting for the call with my father.”
Within a week, $5.1 million was wired to Hunter by CEFC, according to bank records published by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) in their September 2020 report into Hunter Biden’s corruption.
While we don’t know if Hunter was telling the truth to Zhao that his father was sitting with him, we do know from photographs on the laptop that Hunter was at his father’s mansion in Greenville, Del., on the Sunday he wrote the WhatsApp, as were various of Joe’s grandchildren.
Another photo obtained by Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) last week shows Joe Biden at a nearby bar on the night of Friday, July 28, 2017.
Shapley and his criminal investigation team wanted to geolocate messages to see if they could find whether Joe really was sitting with Hunter when he wrote the message.
“We don’t know if he was lying that his father was sitting next to him, right?” Shapley testified. “So then we said, well, let’s get the location data for the messages, and if they’re co-located, then we’re on better ground here, right?”
But the Delaware prosecutors refused. “They didn’t allow us to do it,” Shapley said.
He was concerned because “There’s FARA [foreign lobbying] in play. And the FBI is considering a lot of national security-type issues here … Some of these people in here, Chairman Ye, Gonweng Dong, Zhao, are believed to be connected to the Chinese Communist Party.”
Shapley said, “The prosecutors said don’t do it … And if FBI did something at some level, I’m not privy to it … You would almost hope that they did, but I don’t know if they did.”
The cover-up
Shapley’s testimony is a litany of obstruction by the DOJ and the top echelons of the FBI throughout the five-year investigation in Delaware.
Shapley, who was the veteran supervisory agent for the IRS criminal division and ran a crack team of the 12 best tax investigators in the country, was refused search warrants for a guest house on the grounds of Joe’s Greenville estate where Hunter had been living.
He said the Delaware assistant US attorney on the case, Lesley Wolf, told them “there is no way we will get that approved” because of the “optics,” and asked “whether the juice was worth the squeeze.”
Shapley’s team was about to issue a search warrant for Hunter’s storage unit in northern Virginia, where they believed crucial evidence was kept, when he says Wolf “reached out to Hunter Biden’s defense counsel and told him about the storage unit, once again ruining our chance to get to evidence before being destroyed, manipulated, or concealed.”
As for the boss, David Weiss, he meekly accepted the refusal of Biden-appointed US attorneys in Washington, DC, and California’s central district to allow charges to be brought against Hunter in their jurisdictions.
Shapley said when he confronted Weiss at a “redline” meeting last October, Weiss explained that he had asked the DOJ for special counsel status so he could override the refusals by his DC and California counterparts — but had been refused.
Shapley has six witnesses in that recorded October meeting to back him up.
Garland denies it
Attorney General Merrick Garland denies that Weiss ever asked for special counsel status and has refused to respond to Shapley’s allegations of wrongdoing in his department. 

 

He made an angry public statement last week, obliquely alluding to Shapley: “Some have chosen to attack the integrity of the Justice Department by claiming that we do not treat cases alike. This constitutes an attack on an institution that is essential to American democracy … Nothing could be further from the truth.”
He testified under oath to Congress in April that Weiss had “full authority” in the case. But it’s clear from the IRS whistleblowers that this was not the case.
The sabotage of the case against Hunter Biden requires more from Garland than angry threats.
He should be hauled into Congress to testify under oath, along with his deputy Lisa Monaco, Weiss, Wolf, FBI Director Christopher Wray and the line agents on the case.
There are lots of questions they need to answer that go to the heart of the integrity of the institutions they lead.

I've posted on this before but this is the most informative article I've seen so far:

IRS Whistleblowers: Biden DOJ Interfered in Hunter Biden Tax Probe, Blocked Two Search Warrants, Tipped Off Biden’s Legal Team.
Newly released whistleblower documents reveal that federal prosecutors repeatedly interfered on Hunter Biden’s behalf during the probe into the younger Biden’s business dealings.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith on Thursday released five documents that include the testimonies of two IRS whistleblowers, as well as supplemental affidavits and memos detailing alleged efforts to politically interfere with the probe.
The whistleblowers testified that from 2014-2019, Hunter Biden personally received 8.3 Million Dollars from Ukraine, China, and Romania and didn’t pay taxes on the income, but the Biden Department of Justice attempted to block the IRS agents investigating the tax violations. In total, Hunter Biden and associates received $17.3 million from the three countries, according to the whistleblowers.
According to former IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley, federal prosecutors blocked two search warrants and refused to press more extensive criminal charges.
He alleged that career prosecutors originally intended to charge Hunter Biden with numerous tax violations dating back to 2014, but the sweeping indictment was thwarted by appointees of Joe Biden.
In the end, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to just two federal misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his taxes, and was spared prison time.
“Hunter Biden profited off his father’s name,” Rep. Smith tweeted Thursday. “He didn’t report millions of dollars in income from foreign sources. Any ordinary American caught doing that would have faced severe consequences.”
The whistleblowers’ testimony also confirms that the government had evidence that Joe Biden met with his son’s Chinese business partners.
Both whistleblowers faced retaliation for telling the truth.
“I am blowing the whistle because the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office, Department of Justice Tax, and Department of Justice provided preferential treatment and unchecked conflicts of interest in an important and high-profile investigation of the President’s son, Hunter Biden,” Shapley told lawmakers.
By June of 2020, the whistleblowers said it was apparent that career prosecutors were “slow-walking” the investigation.
Shapley testified that federal prosecutors blocked one search warrant seeking corporate documents from Hunter Biden’s storage locker and another search warrant for Joe Biden’s Delaware residence where Hunter Biden was living at the time.
According to the whistleblower, Leslie Wolf, assistant U.S. Attorney working on the case in Delaware, rejected the warrant for Joe Biden’s home in December 2020, out of concern for “the optics.”
“The decision was whether the juice was worth the squeeze And also a statement made here was that she said that, well, we had to consider the optics of doing a search warrant on, you know, Hunter Biden’s residence and/or the guest house of President Biden,” he recounted. “She further states about the guest house of Joe Biden that there was no way we’d get that approved,” he added.
Later, when agents sought a search warrant for Hunter Biden’s storage locker, prosecutors tipped off Biden’s legal team.
Shapley said these decisions were unprecedented in his many years as an IRS agent.
“So it was off the table. And that was even after the election. So there’s many things. Any other case I ever worked, if they were like there’s a storage unit with documents from the business and personal documents in relation to the years under investigation — the risk was zero, because it’s on a storage unit, it’s not on a residence — there’s no prosecutor I’ve ever worked with that wouldn’t say, go get those documents,” he added.
Shapley also told lawmakers that prosecutors had evidence that Joe Biden had personally met with officials from CEFC, the Chinese energy firm that hired Hunter to represent its interests in the United States.  He described an interview that family associate Rob Walker gave the FBI.
“Walker went on to describe an instance in which the former Vice President showed up at a CEFC meeting. Walker said: “We were at the Four Seasons and we were having lunch and he stopped in, just said hello to everybody. I don’t even think he drank water. I think Hunter Biden said, ‘I may be trying to start a company or try to do something with these guys and could you?’ And I think he was like, if I’m around and he’d show up,” he recounted.
“The FBI agent asked: “So you definitely got the feeling that that was orchestrated by Hunter Biden to have like an appearance by his dad at that meeting just to kind of bolster your chances at making a deal work out? Walker answered: “Sure.” The FBI agent continued: “Any times when he was in office, or did you hear Hunter Biden say that he was setting up a meeting with his dad with them while dad was still in office?”
Walker answered: “Yes.”
Joe Biden was apparently in the room when Hunter sent a WhatsApp message to Chinese businessman Henry Zhao demanding to know why Zhao had not held up his side of an undisclosed deal, according to a newly released document.
An August 2020 search warrant uncovered Hunter’s threatening text message to Zhao, in which he told the businessman to resolve the problem immediately or he, then-Vice President Biden and “everyone he knows” would make him regret it.
“Investigators were not allowed to verify the information,” Smith said Thursday.
The whistleblowers’ testimony confirmed earlier reporting from Just the News regarding Hunter Biden tax case.
1) The DOJ allowed the statute of limitations to expire on alleged tax crimes dating from before 2017 involving hundreds of thousands of dollars more in undeclared income, including some from foreign firms such as Ukrainian gas firm Burisma.
2) The IRS criminal investigation team never learned that the FBI had recovered emails from Hunter’s laptop showing that the first son was aware by 2017 that he had not paid taxes on at least $400,000 in income from Burisma from 2014.
3) Neither the IRS nor the FBI agents investigating Biden ever saw the confidential human source information the FBI received and documented in a form FD-1023 outlining an alleged bribery deal in which a Burisma executive paid $5 million each to Hunter and another Biden family member.

IRS Whistleblower Reveals WhatsApp Message Showing Hunter Biden Shaking Down Chinese Businessman: “I am sitting here with my father, and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled?” [VIDEO]

(BUT, like I've said many times on here, the Bidens will suffer NO penalty or be convicted of NO crimes because the Democratic Crime Machine is in overdrive. They aim to bring America to it's knees and they stick together like thieves.)
Hundreds of pages from the IRS investigation that led to a plea deal on Tuesday for Hunter Biden have been released by Republican lawmakers, and it looks like the Biden Crime Family has been caught RED-handed!
Sandra Smith of Fox News reported on the explosive revelation by the IRS whistleblowers – On Tuesday, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor tax violations following an IRS investigation. Last month IRS supervisory special agent Gary Shapely, who announced his name publicly, gave testimony for hours behind closed doors and said, “The Department of Justice, where I am slow, slow-walked the investigation,” and made his job difficult. He has since been removed from that probe. Now we’re seeing what he said in his testimony, and in one section that stands out, it relates to now President Joe Biden; according to Shapely, he saw a WhatsApp message sent by Hunter Biden to a Chinese businessman in 2017.
“We obtained a July 30, 2017, WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to Henry Zhao, where Hunter Biden wrote, ‘I am sitting here with my father, and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the Director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight!'”
House Ways and Means Committee Chair Jason Smith shared a stunning thread on Twitter explaining the testimony of Gary Shapely, who has now been removed from the Hunter Biden investigation after he went public as a whistleblower with evidence to prove President Biden was indeed, reportedly involved in Hunter Biden shaking down a Chinese official.

 Whistleblowers Say IRS Recommended Felony Tax Charges Against Hunter Biden. The DOJ Overruled.

An IRS whistleblower told Congress on Thursday that the tax agency recommended felony charges against Hunter Biden and that the federal prosecutor handling the probe of the first son was rebuffed from filing charges on multiple occasions, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee disclosed on Thursday.
Rep. Jason Smith (R., Mo.) said at a press conference that two IRS employees claimed the agency sought felony charges against the younger Biden for attempting to evade taxes and fraudulent or false statements, all felony charges. The whistleblowers, who worked on the Biden probe since its start in November 2018, further claimed that the investigation was marred by "recurring unjustified delays" and "unusual actions outside the normal course of any investigation," Smith said.
The bombshell disclosure comes days after federal prosecutors in Delaware struck a plea deal with Biden on two misdemeanor tax charges and a felony gun charge that will be dropped after he completes a diversionary program.
Smith asserted that Biden received "a slap on the wrist for charges that have put other Americans behind bars."
According to Smith, the whistleblowers testified that Hunter Biden failed to pay more than $2.2 million in taxes and received $8.3 million from foreign entities in Ukraine, China, and Romania. Biden received at least $6 million from CEFC China Energy, an energy conglomerate linked to Chinese military intelligence. A Romanian businessman investigated for bribery paid Biden another $1 million for help on his legal case. And Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian natural gas company, paid Hunter Biden more than $80,000 a month to serve on its board of directors.
In one stunning revelation, Smith cited an encrypted text message in which Hunter Biden threatened a Chinese business partner for payment by invoking his father.
"I am sitting here with my father and would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled," Biden wrote in a July 30, 2017, message to Henry Zhao.
"I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father."
The whistleblowers claimed that the Justice Department dragged its feet in authenticating the text message, according to Smith.
The Republican said the whistleblowers further testified that U.S. attorney David Weiss attempted to bring charges against Hunter Biden on at least two occasions but was blocked from doing so. Smith said Weiss sought to file charges in Washington, D.C., in March 2022 and in California in fall 2022. He also sought special counsel status in Spring 2022 but was also rejected.
The whistleblowers say the DOJ chose to let the statute of limitations expire on crimes committed in 2014 and 2015, when Biden failed to report approximately $400,000 in income from Burisma. His business partner Eric Schwerin, according to the testimony, asked him multiple times to amend his tax returns to include the money from Ukraine while his father was vice president, but Hunter Biden never did and now "there is no mechanism available to collect the tax owed by Hunter Biden for 2014 other than in a voluntary fashion."
"The purposeful exclusion of the 2014 and 2015 years sanitized the most substantive criminal conduct and concealed material facts," the whistleblower testified.
The U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware declined comment. A spokesman for the Justice Department did not address Smith's specific allegations but said that Weiss had "full authority over this matter, including responsibility for deciding where, when, and whether to file charges as he deems appropriate. He needs no further approval to do so."
This is a developing story.

Postal Service Releases Final Report – Contract Driver Jesse Morgan Vindicated – Report CONFIRMS He Hauled Trailer of Ballots from NY to PA in Late October 2020.

(Sadly, we can now take bets on what his life expectation is …)
As The Gateway Pundit reported in 2020, election fraud whistleblowers came forward in December following the controversial election, including one who witnessed the shipping of an estimated 144,000-288,000 completed ballots across three state lines on October 21.
The new information was made public at a press conference by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a national constitutional litigation organization.
The Amistad Project said that they have sworn declarations that state over 300,000 ballots are at issue in Arizona, 548,000 in Michigan, 204,000 in Georgia, and over 121,000 in Pennsylvania.
They claim that their evidence reveals multi-state illegal efforts by USPS workers to influence the election in at least three of six swing states.
The whistleblower statements include potentially hundreds of thousands of completed absentee ballots being transported across three state lines, and a trailer filled with ballots disappearing in Pennsylvania.
Attorney Phil Kline said, “130,000 to 280,000 completed ballots for the 2020 general election were shipped from Bethpage, NY, to Lancaster, PA, where those ballots and the trailer in which they were shipped disappeared.”
Truck driver Jesse Morgan was present at the press conference and spoke for 9 minutes about his unbelievable ordeal. Morgan was tasked with delivering completed ballots to Pennsylvania from New York State.
This was explosive testimony.
Jesse Morgan: In total I saw 24 gaylords, or large cardboard containers of ballots, loaded into my trailer. These gaylords contained plastic trays, I call them totes or trays of ballots stacked on top of each other. All the envelopes were the same size. I saw the envelopes had return addresses… They were complete ballots.”
Jesse went on to say that he sat in Harrisburg for hours, and when he was told to leave, the supervisor at the post office would not give him a slip or an overtime slip so he could get paid. Jesse said the manager-supervisor was “kinda rude.”
Jesse’s testimony revealed that United States Post Office employees were in on the conspiracy to steal the votes.
The Gateway Pundit later discovered that rather than investigate this massive alleged crime, US ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL BARR CALLED UP INVESTIGATOR TONY SHAFFER AND KILLED THE INVESTIGATION!  He never lifted a finger to investigate this enormous act of election fraud!

Missing Israeli Whistleblower Living as Fugitive in Undisclosed Location

By Debra Heine
June 2, 2023
Dr. Gal Luff, the Israeli whistleblower who went missing in Cyprus after claiming the Biden administration was out to “bury” him, “is alive and living as a fugitive in an undisclosed location,” according to the New York Post’s Miranda Devine.
Luft is a former Israeli Defense Force colonel, an expert on energy policy and the founder and executive director of the Washington-based Institute for the Analysis of Global Security (IAGS).
He was preparing to reveal damning information about the Biden family’s international business exploits to Congress in February when the Biden Department of Justice had him arrested in Cyprus on multiple charges, including international weapon trafficking charges.

 In 2019, Luft reportedly told the FBI about the Biden family’s shady business arrangement with the Chinese state-controlled energy company CEFC, but never heard back from the FBI or prosecutors again until he was arrested in Cyprus.
The whistleblower vanished in April while on bail awaiting extradition to the US on seven charges, which include “five charges relating to the Arms Export Control Act of conspiring to sell Chinese products to the United Arab Emirates, Kenya and Libya, as well as a violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and of making a false statement,” the Post reported. His abandoned car was reportedly found by police near the airport.
Luft told Devine that he was forced to skip bail because he is a victim of political persecution by Biden’s Department of Justice to protect the Biden family.
“The chances of me getting a fair trial in Washington are virtually zero,” he said in a call from an undisclosed foreign country. “I had to do what I had to do.”
He declined to explain how he escaped Cyprus because he didn’t “want to get people in trouble.”
“I was charged for a thought crime,” he said in reference to the gun-running allegations, which date from email correspondence five years ago. “I was asked by a bona fide arms dealer, an Israeli friend, to inquire with a company I knew if they had an item and what would be the price of an item. This is where the conspiracy ended. No follow-up, no money, no brokering activity.”
Luft said the date of the extradition order, Nov. 1, 2022, seven days before the midterm elections, was suspicious because Republicans were expected to win control of the House and start investigations into of Biden family’s foreign influence peddling operations.
“When it was clear the Republicans are going to win the House or the Senate, all of a sudden comes [GOP Rep. James] Comer and [GOP Rep. Jim] Jordan and the game is changing. There will be questions and subpoenas and investigations [so] they [the administration] have to discredit me. I never thought of coming forward. Through 2020 I sat quiet like a fish,” he said. “I didn’t want to get caught up in this game, but when they arrested me, I had no choice but to blow it up.”
On Feb. 18, after he was detained at the Cyprus airport, Luft tweeted:  “I’ve been arrested in Cyprus on a politically motivated extradition request by the U.S. … claiming I’m an arms dealer. It would be funny if it weren’t tragic. I’ve never been an arms dealer. DOJ is trying to bury me to protect Joe, Jim & Hunter Biden.” The 56-year-old also threatened to “name names.”

 The Biden Administration Has Declared Jihad On Whistleblowers

From the National Review:

 
Those who naively believe Biden’s DOJ is not political. Feast your eyes on this news.
“The IRS removed the “entire investigative team” that was in charge of overseeing a criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, one month after a whistleblower came forward to Congress to allege the investigation was being mishandled, according to a new report. The Justice Department reportedly ordered the team’s removal, according to the New York Post. An IRS criminal supervisory special agent came forward to Congress in April seeking whistleblower protection to share with lawmakers information that allegedly showed the investigation into potential tax crimes by the younger Biden was being mishandled.
Now, the whistleblower’s attorneys claim the team’s removal from the investigation is retaliation for his decision to come forward. “Today the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress. He was informed the change was at the request of the Department of Justice,” attorneys Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt wrote to Congress.
While the whistleblower has not named the Hunter Biden case in his comments, several outlets have confirmed the concerns are about the investigation into the younger Biden. “On April 27, 2023, IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel appeared before the House Committee on Ways and Means. He testified: ‘I can say without any hesitation there will be no retaliation for anyone making an allegation or a call to a whistleblower hotline.’ However, this move is clearly retaliatory and may also constitute obstruction of a congressional inquiry,” the lawyers added.”
