Nevermind the fact that the US Attorney assigned to the case is a Donald Trump appointee who had complete control over the investigation and charging decisions. Nevermind the fact that the investigation extends back five years into the Trump administration. And nevermind that the charges in the plea deal are so rarely filed, it looks like prosecutor crafted the deal to ensure the son of the President was charged with something.
According to the Associated Press, the Three Stooges of House committee chairs–Jim Jordan (Judiciary), James Comer (Oversight) and Jason Smith (Ways & Means)–continue the weaponization of government by launching yet another investigation into investigators in an obvious attempt at intimidating government officials to bow to their political pressure. Despite multiple reassurances and sworn testimony by Attorney General Merrick Garland and Trump-appointed US Attorney for Delaware David Weiss that there was no political pressure put on Weiss by the Administration, the trio intend to call for testimony from officials from the Justice Department, Internal Revenue Service and the FBI.
The Stooges are using claims by two IRS agents that they have been retaliated against for seeking tougher charges for Hunter Biden than the two misdemeanor counts of failure to pay taxes and one gun charge. (The gun charge will be expunged after two years if Biden adheres to terms of the plea deal.) Only one of the agents was identified: Greg Shapley, claiming Weiss, a Justice Department employee, somehow blocked his promotion at the Treasury Department’s IRS.
