President Joe Biden is on record as saying that he never spoke to his son about his overseas business dealings.
All 14 hours of whistleblower testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee released Thursday โ including alleged texts from Hunter Biden โ now officially disputes that.
In the alleged text messages, the younger Biden demanded payment from a Chinese business partner, Henry Zhao, and threatened the foreign national by mentioning his father.
The two IRS whistleblowers said the Department of Justice (DOJ) initially delayed authenticating the messages and eventually refused to allow investigators to independently verify them.
Earlier this week, DOJ announced a plea deal with Hunter, reducing a felony gun charge and felony charges for failing to pay $1 million in taxes to misdemeanors. If he complies with the deal, it's unlikely Hunter will ever see the inside of a prison cell.
The whistleblowers, including an unnamed IRS criminal investigator, explained the lengths Hunter went to avoid paying taxes to fund his ostentatious lifestyle, including writing off trips to an โexclusive sex club.โ He also deducted payments to a woman identified as his โassistant,โ who the whistleblower said was โessentially a prostitute.โ
The whistleblowers added that Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney David Weiss attempted to charge Hunter with multiple felonies on different occasions but was rebuffed every time by the DOJ.
DOJ ultimately removed the whistleblowers and their team from the investigation.
Mediaite further reports:
Rep.ย Jason Smithย (R-MO) announced at a press conference that the two IRS employees who worked on theย Biden probeย since November 2018 claimed the agency initially recommend felony charges against the president's son. Moreover, the whistleblowers claim the Department of Justice โintervenedโ and โoversteppedโ to delay the probe.
โI am sitting here with my father and would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled,โ Hunter Biden reportedly wrote in a July 30, 2017 message to Zhao. โTell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand and now means tonight.โ
โAnd, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman,โ Biden added. โI will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.โ

Why is China So quiet on this??
What would China gain by “speaking up” and what could they possibly say to alleviate their guilt in influence buying?
Still has that ‘cash flow’ flowing through all those Biden LLC’s!
Are we even surprised??? The criminality goes on and on and on. Any Republican found doing the same would have been locked up a LONG time ago!!
A funny thing happened on the way to the Biden Impeachment, these clowns are so ignorantly stupid that even “Plausible Deniability” is wiped from the Biden playbook!
If “addiction” was an affirmative defense against criminal liability, the prisons would be empty. Membership in the oligarchy does have it’s compensations, eh? (On the thankful side, can you imagine what havoc Garfield would have wreaked on the SCOTUS?!?)
Why would I think that had I ‘lied’ on one of those infamous “Background Checks” to buy a gun, and it was ‘discovered,’ I would not be facing 10 years in jail and a $250,000 fine? Then again, I realize that the Feds are NOT interested in prosecuting those falsely exercised background checks, few to a minuscule number are ever prosecuted, and that DOJ is preoccupied with prosecuting anybody and anything connected to former President Trump. Meanwhile, the REAL sedition criminals, in that puzzle palace in DC, walk FREE as birds sipping their margaritas on the taxpayer’s dime! As they now say, ONLY in the banana Republic of America.
“….twoย IRSย whistleblowers….” Whistleblowers, who needs “whistleblowers?” The Biden crime family as well as the Clinton crime family have ALL convicted themselves out of their own mouths, yet, the ONLY people incarcerated have NOTHING to do with those people! When the first one of any of these criminals does as much as a “perp walk,” I believe the Devil will cry tears of joy!
