DOJ set to scapegoat David Weiss

The Department of Justice (DOJ)‍ is ⁣ready to make a move.

Capitol Hill is about to get interesting as Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss⁣ is set to testify before Congress. The DOJ has offered Weiss two potential dates for his public testimony: September 27-28 or October 18-19. This comes after federal prosecutors struck a controversial plea agreement⁣ with the president’s son, ⁤Hunter Biden.

The DOJ’s letter to the⁤ House Judiciary Committee states, “U.S.​ Attorney Weiss is the appropriate person to ⁤speak to these issues, as he is both the​ senior Department official responsible for the investigation⁤ as well as the person with direct knowledge of the facts necessary to respond to the⁣ assertions in⁣ which you have expressed interest.” It seems ​like ‌the DOJ is preparing to throw Weiss under ⁤the bus for the Biden-protection racket.

Meanwhile, the ⁤House ‌Oversight Committee has finalized plans to ⁣hear from former Hunter Biden business partner⁤ Devon Archer, who is expected to testify about Hunter Biden’s alleged meetings and phone calls with his then-vice president father, ⁢Joe Biden. The plot⁢ thickens.

Questions surround Weiss’s ability‍ to press charges recommended by federal investigators, especially since the letter ‍from the Justice Department was signed by ‍a mid-level staffer, not Attorney General​ Merrick Garland ‍or his deputy.

Last week, whistleblower Gary Shapley, one of two veteran agents at the Internal Revenue ‌Service (IRS), claimed that Weiss ⁣was denied special counsel authority to investigate the first family. Shapley’s ⁣testimony has raised concerns about the integrity of the Hunter Biden‍ tax probe.

It’s ‍clear that there’s more to this story. Hunter Biden’s plea deal with federal prosecutors, led by‍ Weiss, has been limited ‌to two misdemeanor tax crimes ‍and one charge of felony firearm possession. The latter⁤ charge will​ be forgiven after 24 months of sobriety, but this agreement could be in jeopardy if the mysterious cocaine found in the White House is linked to Hunter.‌ The IRS agents who testified alongside Shapley‍ believe that a special counsel is necessary for this investigation.

Significant felony charges have been left off the table, in violation of⁣ department policy. Whistleblowers have also revealed that federal ⁤tax investigators ⁤were kept in the dark about evidence of a $10 ⁤million​ bribery scheme involving ⁣the president and ⁢his ⁢son.

House Judiciary⁢ Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has ⁤called on ⁣Garland to allow nearly a dozen DOJ officials to testify about the whistleblower allegations. However, the⁤ DOJ believes it ​is strongly ​in the⁣ public interest for U.S. Attorney Weiss to address these ​specific ⁤allegations at a public hearing.
