Breaking Now: DOJ removes entire team investigating Hunter Biden at the IRS

When money was unlimited and the borrowing came at no cost, that was fine and both parties rode the gravy train til the end. But those days are over, folks.
It’s never going to get better. Maximus is right about being being the most corrupt crime entity on the planet.
“Americans are collectively too stupid, lazy ,and greedy to deserve a good government.”
Maybe the best post that has ever been posted on here. It’s absolutely the truth

McConnell deserves some credit for that.

IRS Whistleblower Formally Alleges Retaliation After DOJ Removes Team From Hunter Case
Quote:As we reported on Monday, in a shocking turn of events, the whole IRS team working on the Hunter Biden probe has been removed from the case, according to a whistleblower.
The whistleblower’s attorneys told Congress in a letter that this was done at the order of the Department of Justice and that it was in retaliation for the attempt to make whistleblower disclosures.
Now we have more of the letter alleging retaliation from attorneys Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt. They are alleging it is an obstruction of a congressional inquiry that violates his protection as a whistleblower to make disclosures, noting it was a clear change in his duties because of his disclosures to Congress and that it was a potential crime to obstruct an investigation by Congress. They also noted this was exactly the kind of behavior their whistleblower was trying to blow the whistle on, to begin with.
On April 27, 2023, IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel appeared before the House Committee on Ways and Means. He testified: “I can say without any hesitation there will be no retaliation for anyone making an allegation or a call to a whistleblower hotline.” However, this move is clearly retaliatory and may also constitute obstruction of a congressional inquiry.
Our client has a right to make disclosures to Congress pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 6103(f)(5) and 5 U.S.C. § 7211. He is protected by 5 U.S.C. § 2302 from retaliatory personnel actions—including receiving a “significant change in duties, responsibilities, or working conditions” (which this clearly is) because of his disclosures to Congress. Any attempt by any government official to prevent a federal employee from furnishing information to Congress is also a direct violation of longstanding appropriations restrictions. Furthermore, 18 U.S.C. § 1505 makes it a crime to obstruct an investigation of Congress.
We respectfully request that you give this matter your prompt attention. Removing the experienced investigators who have worked this case for years and are now the subject-matter experts is exactly the sort of issue our client intended to blow the whistle on to begin with.
That tells you that they weren’t quite done with their job, at least not in their minds, for any speculating that they might be done and charges are coming soon.
But you have to do something to protect the whistleblowers, especially if you know who the people are. The Biden team apparently thinks they can get away with anything because — at least up to this point — they have. At this point, if Congress doesn’t do anything about it, there is no more rule of law and all these laws and protections mean squat. Congress needs to call in the people behind the removal and rake them all over the coals. If they do not, then this will continue and we are a country that is ruled by power, not by law.

Tom's one of those 'special' people that demands evidence and when he is presented with such will deny it is true.
No point with engaging with him.

I have a hard time believing this. Tanq has assured me that no one is above the law. He also doesn’t believe certain people are targeted or that any abuse of power takes place in our Government.
But those Jan6th folks were the most vile disgusting criminals the US has every encountered.
Must be nice to live in that world.

Well he’s laying pretty low right now so that’s generally not a problem.

My brother's friend's sister said she heard that Trump stole a coke from the grocery store 15 year's ago when she was with her friends at 31 flavors yesterday.
TJP: IMPEACH TRUMP - HE's a THIEF!
Joe Biden is on film (audio and video) taking money from a Ukrainian Oligarch 10 years ago and just pardoned the same oligarch.
TJP: It was green screen and CGI! FAKE NEWS!
