"The crimes found by the jury were committed on October 12, 2018, and were fully known to law enforcement within less than two weeks when the gun was recovered after the defendant’s then-girlfriend — the wife of his late brother, whom he’d also gotten hooked on crack — took the Colt Cobra .38, which he’d illegally purchased while lying on the required federal form, and recklessly discarded it in a trash bin near a school, out of fear that in his drug-addled state he’d hurt himself or others. If the defendant’s name had been Robert Hunter Smith, any normal federal prosecutor would have prosecuted him for these crimes by early 2019, if not sooner — and there’d have been no concerns about the Secret Service mysteriously intervening to make the damning evidence disappear."

"The defendant was named Robert Hunter Biden and the federal prosecutor was the abnormally political David Weiss, so the prosecution took six years — and if Weiss and the Biden Justice Department had had their way, it wouldn’t have happened at all."

"For over two years, Weiss had had Hunter Biden dead-to-rights on the gun case and on equally overwhelming evidence of tax offenses, yet he had taken no action. Indeed, as whistleblower agents have detailed, Weiss and his subordinates thwarted the efforts of investigators to move aggressively on the cases."

🚨🚨 These records the FBI produced to @JudicialWatch showing the FBI's coordination with House Democrats to smear our clients are a HUGE deal: .

When Marcus Allen, @RealStevefriend, @GOBactual and I testified before @JudiciaryGOP's @Weaponization on May 18, 2023, we strongly suspected the FBI or DOJ had coordinated with Democrats on the Judiciary Committee.

That's why @EMPOWR_us filed this FOIA request with DOJ the day of that hearing for DOJ communications with one staffer for Ranking Member Nadler: .

It looks like the problem was worse than we thought.

Let's walk through the timeline of how this played out... 🧵judicialwatch.org/documents/jw-v…
empowr.us/wp-content/upl…

Throughout February 2023, @JudiciaryGOP conducted bipartisan transcribed interviews of several FBI whistleblowers as part of @Weaponization’s investigation into the politicization of the FBI.

Rather than focusing on the substance of the whistleblowers’ disclosures, Judiciary Democrats spent most of those interviews talking about tweets, press interviews, or other First Amendment activity the whistleblowers had engaged in.

It seems doubtful that Democratic staff spent hundreds of hours poring over podcast interviews with @kyleseraphin to find the material, raising the question of where they obtained it.

@JudicialWatch @RealStevefriend @GOBactual @JudiciaryGOP @Weaponization Judiciary Republicans would eventually release a number of portions of those transcripts on May 18, after giving the witnesses the opportunity to review the transcripts for accuracy.

“‘The defendant’s laptop is real (it will be introduced as a trial exhibit) and it contains significant evidence of the defendant’s guilt’… Hines underscored that the laptop data…is ‘self-authenticating’ and will be ‘introduced with corroborating evidence at trial.’”

This is a doozy of a filing. "[D]efense counsel demonstrates...despite claiming they do, they actually have no evidence to give them 'reasons to believe that data has been altered and compromised before investigators obtained the electronic material." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

“In 2021, AUSA Leslie Wolf told investigators they could not pursue Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris as a witness based on information she received from the CIA. Investigators were never provided the same information that AUSA Wolf received.” gop-waysandmeans.house.gov/chairman-smith…

See SSA Gary Shapley’s affidavit about this here. gop-waysandmeans.house.gov/wp-content/upl…

Important to note SSA Shapley's affidavit doesn't say the CIA blocked prosecutors from using Kevin Morris as a witness as trial. Rather, based on what the CIA shared in its classified briefing, AUSA Wolf simply told the team they could "no longer pursue [Morris] as a witness."

🚨🚨 Today IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler have taken the extraordinary step of filing a motion to intervene in Hunter Biden's lawsuit against the IRS in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Read why below... 🧵 courtlistener.com/docket/6780378…

They filed it so they can do what the IRS has failed to: make clear that their protected disclosures were legal, pursuant to whistleblower protection laws, and critical to safeguarding the principle of equal treatment under the law regardless of party or familial relationship.

Hunter Biden first filed his lawsuit against the IRS last September after Congress called out his lobbying of his father's Administration to criminally charge the IRS whistleblowers (instead of himself!). waysandmeans.house.gov/wp-content/upl…

🚨🚨 BREAKING: This morning the legal team of IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley referred to @JusticeOIG and DOJ OPR the conduct of Special Counsel David Weiss for attacking the IRS whistleblowers' reputation by leading the world to believe they were under investigation.🧵

Weiss's March 11 filing in the CA criminal case against Hunter Biden opened with an attack on the IRS whistleblowers, comparing their conduct with that of Hunter Biden's. (In a subsequent hearing, Weiss's office referred to the whistleblowers as "hyenas, baying at the moon.")

This animus had a direct impact. Later in the March 11 filing, Weiss indicated that an attached exhibit, filed under seal, described the "responsible steps" "the IRS has taken" "to address Shapley and Ziegler's conduct." The reference was followed by a heavily redacted paragraph.
