The \u200cagent, Thomas\u2063 Sobocinski, expressed \u2063his frustration with the slow pace of the investigation, echoing the concerns raised by IRS criminal investigators earlier\u200b this year.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I would have\u200d liked\u2063 for it to\u2063 move faster,&#8221;\u2062 Sobocinski stated during a\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/don-jr-i-wont-jump-on-bandwagon-to-cancel-sen-cruz\/\" title=\"Don Jr.: I won\u2019t jump on bandwagon to cancel Sen. Cruz\">closed-door interview<\/a> with the\u200c committee.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sobocinski emphasized that his \u200bmain focus in the Hunter\u200b Biden case was to move it \u2063forward towards a resolution, although he did not\u200d provide specifics\u200b on what \u200bthat resolution entailed. During the interview, Sobocinski, accompanied by a DOJ and FBI lawyer, avoided answering many questions posed by Chairman \u200dJim\u2064 Jordan and committee staff.<\/p>\n<p>One topic repeatedly brought up during the \u200binterview was the statute of limitations for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/growing-list-of-whistleblowers-reporting-reprisal-under-biden-administration\/\" title=\"More Whistleblowers Report Reprisal During Biden Administration.\">potential tax crimes committed<\/a> by Biden in 2014 and 2015.\u200c Sobocinski \u200cdeclined to discuss the details,\u2064 stating that the investigation was \u2063ongoing and that he was not in \u2063a \u2063position to address specific \u200bconcerns.<\/p>\n<p>It\u200c was revealed\u2063 in June that the lead prosecutor in the case, David Weiss, intended to\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-investigation-fbi-agent-testifies-to-congress-that-case-moved-too-slowly\/\" title=\"FBI agent tells Congress: Hunter Biden probe progressed sluggishly.\">bring\u200d misdemeanor tax charges<\/a> from 2017 and 2018,\u2063 as well as \u200ba\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/victims-blame-soros-backed-prosecutors-for-crime-wave-in-u-s-cities\/\" title=\"Victims Blame Soros-Backed Prosecutors for Crime Wave in U.S. Cities\">felony gun charge<\/a> against Biden.\u2064 Sobocinski confirmed his presence at two crucial meetings mentioned by IRS whistleblowers in their May testimony \u200bbefore Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The whistleblowers claimed \u200cthat the October 7 meeting \u200bwas a \u200cturning point for them, as they believed senior DOJ officials were obstructing their investigation to protect Biden. \u200dSobocinski did not provide details \u2063about the \u200csubstance of either meeting but stated that he always believed Weiss\u200b had the necessary authority to bring charges against \u200bBiden.<\/p>\n<p>Sobocinski&#8217;s \u2063testimony came just before House Speaker Kevin\u200c McCarthy announced an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, \u200cwhich would\u2063 also investigate whether Hunter Biden received special treatment from\u2063 the \u2064DOJ. Sobocinski is one of the individuals that House \u2063Republicans are interested in\u200b speaking with as\u200b part of \u2063their \u2062investigation into the alleged\u200d special treatment.<\/p>\n<p>While Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Jerry Nadler argued that Sobocinski&#8217;s testimony contradicted that of the IRS whistleblowers, a legal entity representing one\u200b of the whistleblowers stated that \u2062they had not seen \u2062the leaked transcript\u2062 and could not comment fully. However, they\u2062 noted\u200b that\u2062 the whistleblower had\u2064 contemporaneously documented the \u200bmeeting, which differed from\u200b trying to recall\u2062 information a year\u2062 later without notes.<\/p>\n<p>The IRS\u2063 whistleblowers have maintained consistency in their disclosures to Congress, according to a Judiciary Committee spokesperson, who criticized individuals like David Weiss, Merrick Garland, and their associates for their lack of\u2062 consistency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/fbi-agent-testifies-hunter-biden-investigation-slow\">The Washington Examiner<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An FBI special agent testified before the House Judiciary Committee, stating that the Department of Justice&#8217;s probe into Hunter Biden progressed sluggishly.
