Fresh whistleblower revelations sure make the Justice Department look to be in the tank for Hunter Biden, and indeed the whole clan.
A new informant charges that top Justice officials have worked to protect the first son amid a probe of his tax returns, including by retaliating against IRS staff who complained.
This whistleblower, a veteran special agent in the agency’s international tax and financial crimes group, emerged after the IRS yanked the entire Biden-probe team in reaction to the first whistleblower, the group’s supervisor.
Both think the case is being squelched to protect the president’s son.
And all this after the case has dragged on ridiculously long.
“I was removed . . . after nearly 5 years of work,” the new whistleblower fumed in an email.
He said he spent “thousands of hours on the case, worked to complete 95% of the investigation” and “sacrificed sleep/vacations/gray hairs etc.” Plus, he and his “husband were publicly outed,” “ridiculed on social media due to our sexual orientation.”
He feels he was “removed for always trying to do the right thing.”
The team chief wrote, “For over a year I have had trouble sleeping; awake all hours of the night thinking about this,” adding that “my choice was to turn a blind eye to their malfeasance, and not sleep, or to put myself in the crosshairs by doing the right thing.”
The supervisor reportedly gave Congress information to “contradict sworn testimony” by “a senior political appointee” — who The Post later reported is Attorney General Merrick Garland.
And it was the Justice Department that ordered the team’s removal, say the supervisor’s attorneys.
Officially, it’s the Delaware US attorney (who answers to Garland) who’s been looking into Hunter Biden’s possible money-laundering and various other crimes.
Now it seems obvious: Justice under Garland (who answers to Biden) is doing everything it can to avoid prosecuting Hunter.
It all echoes the corrupt FBI and Justice shenanigans detailed in the Durham report: Agents protected Hillary Clinton yet probed Trump-Russia “collusion” based on based on no credible evidence whatsoever, while ignoring exculpatory information.
They also colluded to squash The Post’s 2020 exposés off Hunter’s laptop.
Happily, it seems you can only pile so many coverups on top of coverups on top of coverups before the whole corrupt heap collapses.
