Hunter Biden’s suspicious email on Ukraine raises red flag for classified doc probe​

If Biden special counsel Robert Hur is doing his job as ruthlessly as is his Trump counterpart Jack Smith, then he should be looking at links between the president’s alleged mishandling of classified documents and allegations that Biden and his son took $5 million bribes in Ukraine.

At least one email from Hunter Biden’s laptop during his father’s vice presidency stands out as worthy of Hur’s scrutiny, to determine if there is any overlap with classified documents found in Joe Biden’s Delaware home or various offices.

Hunter refers to “my guys upcoming travels” in his email to business partner Devon Archer dated April 13, 2014, one week before Joe visited Ukraine as vice president.

It was an uncharacteristically sophisticated email, listing 22 points about Ukraine’s political situation, with detailed analysis of the upcoming election and anticipating an escalation of Russia’s “destabilization campaign.”

Unlike anything else written by Hunter in thousands of documents during the nine years covered in the laptop, the email has the distinct flavor of an official briefing, or perhaps even a classified one.

 

Burisma boss in alleged Biden bribe scheme claims to have 15 taped conversations with Hunter, 2 with Joe: Grassley​

WASHINGTON — The FBI source who reported President Biden’s alleged role in a bribery scheme said that a Ukrainian businessman claimed to keep as “insurance” 15 audio recordings of first son Hunter Biden and two of Joe Biden, a Republican senator revealed Monday.

Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) made the staggering claim in a Senate floor speech after FBI Director Christopher Wray last week allowed House Oversight Committee members to see a redacted informant file about the claim that Hunter and then-Vice President Joe Biden received $5 million apiece to serve the interests of Burisma Holdings owner Mykola Zlochevsky.

“Congress still lacks a full and complete picture with respect to what that document really says. That’s why it’s important that the document be made public without unnecessary redactions for the American people to see,” said Grassley, accusing the bureau of needlessly redacting information about the recordings from the file shared with House lawmakers.

“Let me assist for purposes of transparency,” the 89-year-old went on. “The 1023 [form] produced to that House Committee redacted reference that the foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversations with them. Seventeen total recordings.
 
From article linked below:

CNN legal analyst Elie Honig called out the Department of Justice on Monday for slow-walking the Hunter Biden investigation — for nearly five years.

"This is preposterous!" Honig said of the controversial Hunter Biden case.

"This has been pending, according to our reporting… since 2018, five years!" he said.

The first son has been under federal investigation since 2018 for two misdemeanor tax filing charges, a felony tax evasion charge and a false statement charge over a gun purchase.

"By the way," Honig continued, "this investigation is not the laptop. This investigation is a tax issue. Did Hunter Biden declare his income and a sort of obscure gun law? Did he possess a gun while he was addicted to drugs, which you’re not allowed to do under federal law. Did he lie about that?"

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., similarly argued Sunday that the Hunter Biden investigation "has been dragging on for years," especially in contrast to the indictment of former President Trump.

"They were able to wrap up this [Trump] investigation very rapidly. In addition, they announce it pretty much the same day when the details of the FBI confidential human sources [are] going to be revealed by members of Congress," Johnson said.


 

IRS wanted Hunter Biden felony charges as DOJ blocked prosecutions: whistleblowers​

Two IRS whistleblowers told the House Ways and Means Committee that they pressed for felony charges against Hunter Biden after he ducked $2.2 million in tax payments and charged that evidence implicating the first son was buried by the Justice Department, the panel’s chairman said Thursday.

Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) also told reporters that Delaware US Attorney David Weiss sought to bring charges against the 53-year-old in both the District of Columbia and Southern California last year and was denied both times — contradicting sworn testimony by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
 

Hunter Biden prosecutor told six witnesses he couldn’t charge outside Delaware​

The federal prosecutor tasked with investigating Hunter Biden told at least six witnesses last year that he lacked authority to charge the first son outside Delaware and was denied special counsel status, according to an IRS whistleblower — and now the House Judiciary Committee wants to talk to them.

Delaware US Attorney David Weiss made the shocking disclosure at an Oct. 7, 2022, meeting with top IRS and FBI officials — contradicting sworn testimony from Attorney General Merrick Garland, IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley told the House Ways and Means Committee last month.

“He surprised us by telling us on the charges, ‘I’m not the deciding official on whether charges are filed,’” Shapley recounted in his May 26 testimony, which the committee released Thursday.

“He then shocked us with the earth-shattering news that the Biden-appointed D.C. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves would not allow him to charge in his district,” added Shapley, who said Graves’ refusal to prosecute meant that Hunter, now 53, would not face tax charges related to “foreign income from Burisma [Holdings] and a scheme to evade his income taxes through a partnership with a convicted felon” in 2014 and 2015.

“The purposeful exclusion of the 2014 and 2015 years sanitized the most substantive criminal conduct and concealed material facts,” Shapley went on.

Shapley’s legal team identified four of the six witnesses in the meeting as Baltimore FBI Special Agent in Charge Tom Sobocinski and Assistant Special Agent in Charge Ryeshia Holley, as well as Shapley and his boss, IRS Special Agent in Charge Darrell Waldon. The IRS whistleblower also named Shawn Weede and Shannon Hanson, who work in Weiss’ office as a criminal chief prosecutor and assistant prosecutor, respectively, as attendees during his testimony.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Sunday that Republicans will launch an impeachment inquiry into Garland if Shapley’s account is corroborated. The Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), is expected to call forward each of the alleged witnesses as it manages the fallout of the perjury allegation against Garland — including possible impeachment.
 

IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley says he was barred from taking ‘certain investigative steps’ that could’ve led to President Biden​

The IRS agent noted that his team found evidence of several illegal business expenses during the course of the investigation, and suggested the evidence of alleged crimes perpetrated by Hunter likely would’ve quickly landed “any other person” in prison.

“If this was any other person, they likely would have already served their sentence,” Shapely said.

“There were personal expenses that were taken as business expenses, prostitutes, sex club memberships, hotel rooms for purported drug dealers,” he added.

Shapley, who is still working for the IRS, indicated that from 2014 to 2019, Hunter was found to have owed $2.2 million in taxes to the federal government.

The whistleblower further suggested that recent comments by Attorney General Merrick Garland about the “complete authority” Delaware US Attorney David Weiss had in investigating and charging Hunter don’t line up with what he witnessed as a member of the team probing the president’s 53-year-old son.

The attorney general also testified under oath to Congress earlier this year that Weiss was empowered to bring charges outside of Delaware.
 

New York Times buries confirmation of Hunter Biden whistleblower claim to page A16​

A key claim from an IRS whistleblower about the botched investigation into first son Hunter Biden has been confirmed by the New York Times — but you have to look hard to find it.

IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley told the House Ways and Means Committee last month that Delaware US Attorney David Weiss was blocked from pursuing charges against the first son in both Washington DC and Southern California by Biden-appointed US attorneys Matthew Graves and Martin Estrada.

A Times story touching on Shapley’s claims said the paper had “confirmed independently” that Estrada had opted not to bring charges against the first son in Los Angeles.

However, the note was buried in the 21st paragraph of the story by Glenn Thrush and Michael S. Schmidt — and was relegated to page A16 of the print edition.

According to Shapley, Weiss also told IRS and FBI investigators in October 2022 that he had been denied special counsel status and was not the “deciding official” for any charges, despite later public statements to the contrary by himself and Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Weiss made the comment in front of at least six witnesses, one of whom corroborated Shapley’s claim days later in an internal IRS email.

In March of last year, the Times belatedly confirmed The Post’s bombshell October 2020 report about emails, messages, photos and financial information found on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop — more than a year and a half after the initial revelations.
 

‘Missing’ Biden corruption case witness Dr. Gal Luft details allegations against president’s family in extraordinary video​

The “missing witness” from the Biden corruption investigation, Israeli professor Dr. Gal Luft, has laid out his bribery allegations against the president’s family in an extraordinary video filmed in an undisclosed location while he’s on the run.

In the 14-minute recording, obtained exclusively by The Post, the fugitive former Israeli army officer claims he was arrested in Cyprus to stop him from testifying to the House Oversight Committee that the Biden family received payments from individuals with alleged ties to Chinese military intelligence and that they had an FBI mole who shared classified information with their benefactors from the China-controlled energy company CEFC.

The self-proclaimed fall guy says he provided the incriminating evidence to six officials from the FBI and the Department of Justice in a secret meeting in Brussels in March 2019 — but alleges that it was covered up.

“I, who volunteered to inform the US government about a potential security breach and about compromising information about a man vying to be the next president, am now being hunted by the very same people who I informed — and may have to live on the run for the rest of my life on the run …”

“I’m not a Republican. I’m not a Democrat. I have no political motive or agenda … I did it out of deep concern that if the Bidens were to come to power, the country would be facing the same traumatic Russia collusion scandal — only this time with China. Sadly, because of the DOJ’s cover-up, this is exactly what happened …”
 

Second IRS Hunter Biden whistleblower’s ID to be revealed next week​

A previously anonymous IRS whistleblower who has claimed a coverup in the Hunter Biden investigation will soon be anonymous no more.

His name will be revealed during a House Oversight Committee hearing set for next week, a spokesperson for the panel confirmed to The Post Wednesday.

During the July 19 hearing, the committee will hear public testimony testimony from IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley and the second whistleblower, whose name has been kept under wraps since their presence became publicly known in May.

“Thanks to the good work of Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, IRS whistleblowers recently provided information to Congress that confirm many findings of our investigation,” Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said in a statement.

“These whistleblowers provided information about how the Justice Department refused to follow evidence that implicated Joe Biden, tipped off Hunter Biden’s attorneys, allowed the clock to run out with respect to certain charges, and put Hunter Biden on the path to a sweetheart plea deal,” he added.
 

FBI agent on Hunter Biden case verifies IRS whistleblower claim, Comer says​

WASHINGTON — The former FBI supervisory agent in charge of the criminal investigation into first son Hunter Biden confirmed key details Monday of an alleged coverup described by IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley, the House Oversight Committee said.

The panel, led by chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), announced the deposition ahead of a Wednesday hearing at which Shapley and a yet-to-be-identified IRS subordinate will allege special treatment of the younger Biden in the investigation, which concluded last month in a probation-only plea deal.

“Today, our committee staff conducted a transcribed interview with a former FBI supervisory special agent assigned to the FBI’s Wilmington office and the Biden criminal investigation,” the Oversight Committee tweeted.

“The agent confirmed key portions of the IRS whistleblowers’ testimony, including that both Secret Service headquarters and the Biden transition team were tipped off about the planned Hunter Biden interview. In fact, on the day of the Hunter Biden interview, federal agents were told to stand by and to not approach Hunter Biden — they had to wait for his call.”

“As a result of the change in plans, IRS and FBI criminal investigators never got to interview Hunter Biden as part of the investigation,” the committee said.
 

‘Democrat’ Hunter Biden whistleblower Joseph Ziegler comes forward​

WASHINGTON — IRS agent Joseph Ziegler stepped forward Wednesday as the second whistleblower alleging a coverup in the criminal investigation of President Biden’s son Hunter — calling himself a Democrat who wanted “to do what is right.”

Ziegler worked on the investigation since it opened in 2018 and was joined by his supervisory agent Gary Shapley, who oversaw the probe since January 2020, at a House Oversight Committee hearing.

“I was the lead IRS case agent on the Hunter Biden investigation. I recently discovered that people are saying that I must be more credible because I’m a Democrat who happens to be married to a man,” Ziegler said.

“I’m no more credible than this man sitting next to me due to my sexual orientation or my political beliefs. The truth is my credibility comes today from my job experience with the IRS and my intimate knowledge of the agency’s standards and procedures.”

“I was raised and have always strived to do what is right,” the IRS agent added.

 

Biden ‘extremely well known’ to feds investigating Hunter, showed up to FBI office during probe: IRS whistleblower​

President Biden was “extremely well known” to federal authorities investigating his son, Hunter Biden, and even showed up at an FBI office during the probe, an IRS agent tasked with the case told Congress on Wednesday.

“There were definitely potential issues I saw with working this case in Delaware,” IRS special agent Joseph Ziegler said in prepared remarks before the House Oversight Committee. “We were working with a small [US Attorney’s Office] who might not have ever worked a case of this caliber. Delaware was the state in which the subject’s father lived in, and the family was extremely well known throughout the state, including [by] people on the team.”

“This was later evident by the president, Joe Biden, having to come into the FBI office on an unrelated matter, and it being joked [about] with the team,” Ziegler added, presumably referring to the bureau’s Baltimore field office. “Another example was that a magistrate judge in Delaware made inappropriate comments at the signing of the first electronic search warrant that had caused her to recuse themself from the investigation, which set us back an additional 4 months as we had to draft new warrants and redo investigative steps.”
 
We all know no matter the evidence Biden’s will not be held accountable. They’re too connected after a million years in politics
It’s new comers beware of the might of the political mafia, it’s flexing its muscles right now against a former president and everyone connected to that president to let everyone know to get in line and do as told, if not they’ll come for you and everyone you know, they are the dictators, far scarier than a Putin or Xi.

Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal on gun, tax charges torpedoed by judge in sensational court room dust up​

First son Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to federal tax and gun charges Wednesday, a dramatic about-face after his wrist-slap, probation-only plea deal fell apart — with the judge in the case accusing both sides of wanting her to “rubber-stamp” an improperly broad agreement.

The stunning turn of events came more than 90 minutes into the hearing at the federal courthouse in Wilmington, Del., where Hunter was expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay taxes and enter a diversion program on a felony federal weapons charge.

But US District Judge Maryellen Noreika ran the rule over both prosecutors and the lawyers for President Biden’s 53-year-old son — asking assistant US attorney Leo Wise if Hunter was still under scrutiny for potential offenses including failing to register as a foreign agent for lucrative dealings in countries such as China and Ukraine that allegedly involved his father.

“Yes,” admitted Wise, echoing repeated statements by his boss, Delaware US Attorney David Weiss, whose office confirmed the ongoing nature of the probe to The Post Wednesday.
 

Joe Biden’s deep involvement in Hunter’s biz with Chinese, Russians and Ukrainians revealed in Devon Archer’s full damning testimony​

WASHINGTON — First son Hunter Biden’s former business partner Devon Archer told lawmakers this week that Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings brought the political scion onto its board so that “people would be intimidated to mess with them … legally.”

Archer also revealed that then-Vice President Joe Biden met twice with his son’s shady post-Soviet business partners at DC’s Café Milano, not once as previously reported, according to the transcript of a four-hour deposition released Thursday by the House Oversight Committee.

These and other revelations blow new holes in President Biden’s claim that he never discussed business with his now-53-year-old son — as House Republicans move closer to launching an impeachment inquiry.

Archer extensively discussed the value Hunter brought to Burisma as part of the Biden family “brand” — and said he demonstrated to clients at least 20 times his ability to put his dad, the second-highest US official, on speakerphone.

Under questioning from Democratic lawyers, Archer mused that “I think Burisma would have gone out of business if it didn’t have the brand attached to it.”

“I think that’s why it was able to survive as long as it did,” he added under interrogation from Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY).

“Well, I don’t understand. How does that have an impact?” Goldman asked.

“Well, the capabilities to navigate DC that they were able to, you know, basically be in the news cycle. And I think that preserved them from a, you know, from a longevity standpoint,” Archer added.

“But how would that work?” the Democrat pressed.

“Because people would be intimidated to mess with them,” responded Archer, clarifying “legally” when Goldman asked “in what way” they would be intimidated.

Archer also told the House Oversight Committee that most of the $3.5 million wired in February 2014 by former first lady of Moscow Yelena Baturina — who attended at least one dinner with then-VP Biden and his son — was in turn transferred to a firm co-owned by Archer and Hunter Biden after its initial receipt by an entity that Biden defenders had insisted was solely controlled by Archer.
 

Furious Republicans accuse the DOJ of a COVER-UP by appointing a Hunter special counsel: Biden's son's plea deal is thrown out in bombshell developments in his legal problems​

Hunter Biden faced two stunning developments in his legal problems as a plea deal on his tax and gun crimes was thrown out, and a special counsel was appointed to oversee the investigation into him.

The Department of Justice axed the latest agreement after negotiations between prosecutors and attorneys for the president's son collapsed again.

It means Hunter could likely face a criminal trial over charges that he hoped would have been resolved with a 'sweetheart' plea deal.

Furious Republicans then claimed the appointment of a special counsel to oversee the investigation into Hunter Biden is a bid to stonewall their investigation into the family's shady business deals.

Garland made the shock announcement at a press conference on Friday in a sign that the walls on the president's son are closing in.

The appointment is a move from Garland to undermine claims from Republicans and IRS whistleblowers that Weiss doesn't have full authority and is being driven by the Biden administration.

But top GOP lawmakers investigating Hunter and the Biden family immediately trashed the move, calling it an effort to interfere with Republican probes.

They also questioned why Weiss can be trusted when he signed off on the first Hunter deal deemed a slap on the wrist, before it unravelled.

'This action by Biden’s DOJ cannot be used to obstruct congressional investigations or whitewash the Biden family corruption,' said House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
 

IRS whistleblower reveals David Weiss ‘not the deciding person’ in Hunter Biden case​

WASHINGTON — Contemporaneous notes handwritten by IRS supervisory special agent Gary Shapley during an Oct. 7, 2022, meeting about the tax fraud investigation of first son Hunter Biden indicate Delaware US Attorney David Weiss said he was “not the deciding person” in bringing criminal charges.

The notes were released Wednesday by Shapley’s lawyers following a transcribed Sept. 7 House Judiciary Committee interview of Baltimore FBI Special Agent in Charge Tom Sobocinski, who attended the meeting and told the panel that he couldn’t recall the exchange.

“Weiss stated — He is not the deciding person,” the handwritten notes from Shapley say.

The document was released one day after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) launched an impeachment inquiry into President Biden’s alleged role in his son Hunter and brother James Biden’s foreign business dealings.

“Mr. Sobocinski was one of seven attendees in the October 7, 2022 meeting,” wrote Shapley’s lawyers Tristan Leavitt and Mark Lytle in a letter accompanying the release of the handwritten notes, which contained redactions made by the tax-focused House Ways and Means Committee.

“The meeting was documented that same day by our client … in an email to his chain of command that has since been made public by the House Ways and Means Committee,” Leavitt and Lytle added.

“Mr. Sobocinski apparently acknowledged that he took no notes in the meeting, nor did he document it in any contemporaneous fashion afterwards. By contrast, SSA Shapley took notes during the meeting. These notes, combined with his fresh memory of the meeting, formed the basis for the email he sent later that day and corroborate his current recollection.”

The House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed three other participants in the Oct. 7 meeting — DC IRS Special Agent in Charge Darrell Waldon, IRS Director of Field Operations Michael Batdorf and Baltimore Assistant Special Agent in Charge Ryeshia Holley.
 

Prosecutor who allegedly shielded Joe, Hunter Biden testified 79 times she’s ‘not authorized’ by DOJ to give answers​

WASHINGTON — The former federal prosecutor who allegedly shielded President Biden and his son Hunter during a criminal investigation testified 79 times to Congress that she was “not authorized” by the Justice Department to answer questions about the case, according to a transcript reviewed by The Post.

Former Delaware Assistant US Attorney Lesley Wolf repeatedly cited a five-page authorization letter from Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer as she refused to answer questions during a House Judiciary Committee deposition last week.

Weinsheimer’s Dec. 12 letter, also reviewed by The Post, says: “[T]he Department generally does not authorize congressional testimony from line-level personnel, especially relating to an ongoing investigation with charges pending in court. The Department has declined to do so in connection with this matter.”

Wolf’s dozens of refusals to answer questions — just one day after the full House voted to authorize an impeachment inquiry into President Biden — frustrated attempts to firm up the storyline involving what whistleblowers say was a sweeping cover-up by Wolf and colleagues to protect the Biden family.
 
Did he poop his pants again? Dentures fall out? Lost on stage? Can't form a sentence due to being in the late stages of alzhiemers? Feeling up underaged children again? If you answered yes to all the above questions, you are 100% correct.
