“Scoop” update from AXIOS.com
with this headline:
“Hunter
Biden's lawyer roasts IRS whistleblowers in message to GOP chair”
Hunter Biden's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, sent a blistering letter Friday (June 30) to the Republican chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, accusing him of “...trying to undermine the law and feeding the misinformation campaign to harm our client, Hunter Biden, as a vehicle to attack his father.”
The big picture: House Republicans remain outraged
by Hunter Biden and now more so with his plea deal. They have pushed forward
with their aggressive investigations into the president's son.
- The
released testimony of an IRS agent (Gary Shapley) has added fuel to their fire.
- Rep. Jason
Smith (R-MO) has now joined House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY)
and House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH).
- The
trio sent letters to top officials at the DOJ, IRS, and Secret Service
demanding interviews.
Watch this YouTube explanation
of the GOP’s wild attacks aimed at the entire Biden family (about 6-minutes)
then decide for yourself:
Why it matters: The
White House has been struggling to answer questions about the IRS agent
transcripts over the past week, but Hunter’s lawyer Abbe Lowell is now taking
the lead in fighting back against the Republican-led committee. Now the testimony
of IRS agent Shapley has added fuel to their fire they surmise.
· The GOP trio mentioned above sent letters to top
officials at the DOJ, IRS, and Secret Service demanding interviews.
· Smith last week released transcripts of interviews with two IRS agents
who claimed that the investigation into Hunter Biden was improperly handled
along with a purported WhatsApp message that showed Hunter leveraging his
father to close a business deal.
· The White House and DOJ have both rebuffed the whistleblower claims about meddling last
week.
· Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to two counts of not filing and
paying taxes on time, and he entered a diversionary agreement on a felony gun
charge.
· J. P.
Freire, Committee Communications Director said: “It’s little surprise that
Hunter Biden’s attorneys are attempting to chill our investigation and
discredit the whistleblowers who say they have already faced retaliation from
the IRS and the Department of Justice despite statutory protections established
by law.”
· What Abbe Lowell says: He suggests the
IRS agents interviewed may be claiming the title of whistleblower “in an
attempt to evade their own misconduct.” He also claims that the “timing of the
agent leaks and your subsequent decision to release their statements do not
seem innocent.”
· Lowell
also slammed Rep. Smith for posting screenshots of a WhatsApp conversation,
saying: “The screen-grab images you posted are not real and contain myriad
of issues and that you circulated online are complete fakes.”
· Lowell pointed to Hunter Biden’s profile picture in the message being a photo from
2022, five years after the 2017 message was allegedly sent.
My 2 Cents: This
supplements my original post here – FYI.
Just listen to the words
of Smith, Comey, and Jordan – they are vicious in their attacks on the entire
Biden family and very disgusting.
In fact if you recall they
promised to do all this even before the 2022 midterms if they won the House
majority and they did and now here it is in collective face.
The big question is why?
Simple: Their raw hatred to
get revenge for the two impeachments of Trump and his recent 71 or so Federal
charges in the NY and Mar-a-Lago indictments. That makes them more revengeful –
and of course they have to stay on Trump’s good side.
What a disgusting bunch
they are. How will this all end? Well, that’s up the courts and the voters –
assuming the 2024 cycle will be fair and NOT a repeat of 2020.
I predict that all they
are doing will harm them at the polls and rightly so; they will earned it.
Congrats …
Thanks for stopping by.
