The Hunter Biden Smoking Gun Bombshell — As Described By The Committee Chair
Here at ClashDaily, we understand that masculinity isn’t ‘toxic’, real masculinity is, by nature heroic.
It looked like just another press conference, where an obscure committee chair announced to any reporters who cared what the business of the day might be. This presser may have changed history.
Until now, Democrats have cried bloody murder over most Hunter Biden whistleblower reports raised by the GOP because there is exactly ONE lawful way for certain sensitive information to be released to the whole of Congress. It must go through the Ways and Means Committee.
It just so happens that the business of the day had specific allegations to make not only about Hunter Biden’s evidence criminality being much greater than anything the DOJ slapped his wrists for, it also made specific allegations about political interference in several departments by Joe Biden’s White House and the DOJ.
We at ClashDaily were in the process of transcribing and summarizing the (still-obscure) story yesterday afternoon, but it got bumped by another story, about articles of impeachment.
Before we could get back to it, the Ways and Means report had gained traction everywhere and the detailed summary we had been making of the meeting was redundant.
But the story still matters, both in the moment and for posterity. So instead of our original report, here is the Committee chair explaining the key points:
Here is a little context showing us just how ‘seriously’ the White House has been taking this story since it broke yesterday.
Press Conference: Public Release of IRS Whistleblower Transcripts https://t.co/Dh9IHuliPV

Hunter is rubbing elbows at a State Dinner at the White House?
Meeting foreign dignitaries?
Hunter might call it ‘Networking’.
(So much for that mantra of ‘no one is above the law’.)
Let’s begin.
🧵THREAD@WaysandMeansGOP just voted to release 14 hours of transcribed interviews with 2 IRS whistleblowers.
Their story of how the federal government handled an investigation into a “high-profile individual” is stunning.

The 2 whistleblowers exposed:
Hunter received money from Ukraine, China, and Romania.
All taxpayers are NOT treated the same.
Biden DOJ engaged in attempts to delay, divulge, and deny IRS investigators.

Hunter Biden profited off his father's name. He didn't report millions of dollars in income from foreign sources.
Any ordinary American caught doing that would have faced severe consequences. Hunter Biden didn’t.
Why not?

After Biden was sworn in as President, there were concerns the DOJ wouldn't be an impartial investigator.
AG Merrick Garland ignored those concerns and refused to appoint a special prosecutor.

Whistleblower testimony shows Garland’s testimony was inaccurate.
For almost a year, IRS investigators and Weiss tried to advance the investigation, including bringing charges against Hunter Biden.
Each time, he was denied by a Biden DOJ appointee. pic.twitter.com/Hllh6GIzEM

Inaccurate? That doesn’t seem like the right word.
Maybe Spock can help us find a better description of Garland’s Sworn Testimony:
Liar? Yeah. That seems like a better fit.
Perjurer? That has a good ring to it as well.
That same month, well before the 2020 election, the 2 whistleblowers & their investigative team had a call with the IRS chain of command to call out the slow pace of the investigation: pic.twitter.com/KryFDqvSjE

Cue up the left’s beloved ‘Hamilton‘…
You’ll need it for the next tweet:
Texts like these made it clear to IRS investigators that they needed to conduct a search of Joe Biden's guest house, where Hunter was living.
Investigators were told: "there is no way we will get it approved."
— Rep. Jason Smith (@RepJasonSmith) June 22, 2023
No authority for a search warrant of a president’s property? That sounds like a detail Trump’s legal team might want to take note of.
In 2019, an IRS criminal investigation search warrant led to discovery of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
FBI verified authenticity. IRS investigators never got full access, despite believing it may contain relevant evidence. pic.twitter.com/qVkomWRi6v

This puts the Russian Disinformation story in a whole different light. If only someone had tried to set us straight on the issue. Like, oh, I dunno, John Ratcliffe? Oh that’s right. He DID, but the news media wanted to believe the Biden-friendly BS narrative instead.
(That’s a pattern we’ve been seeing a lot, now isn’t it?)
Investigators closed ranks to make sure nobody looked into possible criminality involving Joe Biden.
Leadership in FBI contacted leadership in Secret Service, kneecapping the investigation.
After the Nov. 2020 election, IRS agents scheduled a day of action to conduct interviews on Dec. 8, 2020.
Investigators were told not to ask about Joe Biden.
The night before, the FBI divulged details by tipping off the Biden transition team.

(Contrast that to Comey bragging about exploiting and betraying Gen Flynn’s trust in order to destroy him.)
Once the whistleblowers came forward to expose the pattern of slow walking the Hunter Biden tax investigation, the whistleblowers say they were retaliated against.

Obstruction of justice? Unlawful retaliation?
Americans expect a justice system that protects whistleblowers and is honest and fair no matter who you are – even if your dad is President.
Sadly, it seems that the federal government has two different tiers of justice.
Americans truly deserve better.

The only reason the statute of limitations ran out on Hunter was because a corrupt law enforcement agency deliberately ran out the clock to defend… Hunter…?
Biden…?
Some thing bigger…?
That’s the point. We’re not supposed to know.
