Julie Kelly, an amazing investigative reporter, recently shared her intriguing insights on the House Judiciary Committee’s private interview with Matthew Graves, the disgraced U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Notably, during the interview, Graves was accompanied by not just one but two Department of Justice lawyers, and much of his story conflicted with other testimony we’ve heard about the Hunter Biden case. Before we get into Julie’s insight, here’s some background on the committee interview with Mr. Graves.
According to the interview, David Weiss wanted to bring charges against Hunter Biden in Washington, D.C., the district’s federal prosecutor told Congress in new testimony, lending credence to whistleblower claims of preferential treatment for President Joe Biden’s son.
U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves said during a closed-door interview last week with the House Judiciary Committee that Weiss, then a U.S. attorney for Delaware, called Graves about the case at the end of February or beginning of March of 2022.
“Mr. Weiss said that he had an investigation that he had been conducting. Some of the charges related to that investigation needed to be venued out of the district, and he described the logistical support that he needed,” Graves said, according to a 180-page transcript of the interview reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
Graves indicated the logistical support Weiss referenced on the call would have included Graves arranging a grand jury in Washington on behalf of Weiss.
Apparently, Graves declined to address several questions, and based on reports, the atmosphere in the committee room became quite tense on occasion. Julie examined the transcripts and has shared her take on the events.
Here’s some of what Julie Kelly said in her post published on X:
I have reviewed House Judiciary Committee’s transcribed interview with Matthew Graves, US Attorney for the District of Columbia.
A few observations related to Hunter Biden inquiry:
* It is obvious that Graves and his team signaled to David Weiss they would not participate in the prosecution of Hunter Biden.
*Just one example of Graves’ flailing word salad related to a 10-minute conversation he had with David Weiss in late Feb, early March 2022: “As I recall the conversation, my question is–was: ‘What do you need?’ And my attitude was (emphasis added) ‘Of course we’re going to provide it to you.’ So, you know, how he heard it, what he expected, and the long litany of things one could need in returning, I don’t know, but I could just say my immediate response ‘What do you need’ I was trying to signal we will give you whatever you need logistically.” SURE.
*For the next three weeks, according to Graves, his top deputies analyzed the matter including whether DOJ could pursuade a DC jury to convict Hunter Biden. Following a March 19, 2022 meeting with his team, Graves said his office “conveyed to Delaware that we wouldn’t be looking to add our own prosecutor to the case.”
*Graves refused to name the officials involved.
*Graves did not read the underlying evidence against Hunter Biden including the lengthy report prepared by DOJ Tax Division detailing Hunter Biden’s tax crimes in 2014 and 2015 which included omitting income from Burisma.
*Graves never followed up directly with Weiss.
*Despite claims he offered assistance with grand jury process, Graves also admitted that at that time, the federal courthouse in DC was very busy with grand jury proceedings–yes because his office was charging and prosecuting Capitol protesters.
*His office at the time also was investigating Trump associates (and beginning stage of full blown investigation into Trump himself) for January 6.

Clearly, the key players involved in this coverup believe their sketchy actions are entirely justified. They probably aren’t very concerned about Republican inquiries, feeling they’re well shielded and very protected.
