AG Garland Basically Calls IRS Whistleblower a Liar, Says Criticism Is ‘An Attack on an Institution That’s Essential to American Democracy’

Neither Garland nor Hunter Biden seemed to be too concerned about the bombshell revelations, judging by their appearance at a state dinner Thursday night.

Garland held a press conference Friday, about fentanyl, but he was asked to respond to the whistleblower’s allegations. The question from the mockingbird journo in this clip is… well, it’s something. At the end of the wind-up, he asks Garland:

“Can you once-and-for-all shed a little light? There seems to be a little confusion about what’s going on here.”

Just a little confusion?

Garland responds to the IRS whistleblower who said U.S. Attorney David Weiss was told not to bring charges against Hunter Biden:

Here’s what Garland said:

As I said at the outset, Mr. Weiss, who was appointed by President Trump as the U.S. Attorney in Delaware and assigned this matter during the previous administration, would be permitted to continue his investigation and to make a decision to prosecute any way in which he wanted to and in any district in which he wanted to. Mr. Weiss has since sent a letter to the House Judiciary Committee confirming that he had that authority. I don’t know how it would be possible for anybody to block him from bringing a prosecution, given that he has this authority.

The journo followed up, asking, “So he was never told no?”

“I’m saying he was given complete authority to make all decisions on his own.”

That’s not quite agreeing that Weiss was never told no. Perhaps he made the decision that felony charges were appropriate, and was then blocked. Perhaps he decided that writing that letter to the House Judiciary Committee was better for his life and livelihood than agreeing with the whistleblower.

It’s important to note that the whistleblower was under oath while giving this testimony to the committee, and Garland is not under oath in a press conference – not that an oath ever stopped any of the corruptocrats in D.C., though. He testified both of intimidation by Hunter Biden’s counsel and “Main DOJ” putting up roadblocks.

In our July 29th, 2022, prosecution team call, AUSA Wolf told us that United States Attorney Weiss indicated that the end of September would be his goal to charge the 2014 and 2015 years, because they did not want to get any closer to a midterm election. She also said: “The X factor on timing will include any delay defense counsel has requested.”

Two weeks later, I learned how defense counsel felt about the case when prosecutors told us on a pros team call that Chris Clark, Hunter Biden’s counsel from Latham and Watkins, told them that if they charge Hunter Biden, they would be committing “career suicide,” end quote.

The case was presented to the Central District of California US Attorney’s office in mid-September, shortly after Biden appointee Martin Estrada was confirmed, then Wolf reported back to Shapley that no charges would be filed until after the election even though DOJ’s Public Integrity Unit had already confirmed that the investigation did not need to “cease and desist” for the midterms.

That leads to an October 7, 2022 “pros meeting,” which was only attended by senior-level managers from IRS-CI, FBI, and the Delaware US Attorney’s office. Shapley testified (emphasis mine):

United States Attorney Weiss was present for the meeting. He surprised us by telling us on the charges, quote: “I’m not the deciding official on whether charges are filed,” unquote.

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.

To add to the surprise, U.S. Attorney Weiss stated that he subsequently asked for special counsel authority from Main DOJ at that time and was denied that authority. Instead, he was told to follow the process, which was known to send U.S. Attorney Weiss through another President Biden-appointed U.S. Attorney.

This was troubling, because he stated that, if California does not support charging, he has no authority to charge in California. Because it had been denied, he informed us the government would not be bringing charges against Hunter Biden for the 2014-2015 tax years, for which the statute of limitations were set to expire in one month. All of our years of effort getting to the bottom of the massive amounts of foreign money Hunter Biden received from Burisma and others during that period would be for nothing.

Weiss also told us that if the new United States Attorney for the Central District of California declined to support charging for the 2016 through 2019 years, he would have to request special counsel authority again from the Deputy Attorney General and/or the Attorney General.

I couldn’t understand why the IRS wasn’t told in the summer of 2022 that D.C. had already declined charges. Everyone in that meeting seemed shellshocked, and I felt misled by the Delaware United States Attorney’s Office.
