Delaware US Attorney David Weiss exploded that fallacy when he slipped out a late Friday letter to the House Judiciary Committee, hoping to bury the bad news on the eve of the holiday weekend.
Added to the limp, over-long missive to Congress a few hours earlier from Hunter Biden’s fabled lawyer Abbe Lowell, whose big complaint was about a breach of the “spirit of the law,” it was not a good day for the Biden protection unit.
With Hunter Biden’s former “best friend in business” Devon Archer slated to testify this month before he goes to jail with nothing much left to lose, and other as-yet-unidentified whistleblowers emerging with more explosive evidence in coming weeks, a Houdini act by the Biden gang seems unlikely, even with the power of the White House, a complicit media and the best lawyers money can buy.
The legalese in Weiss’ Friday night letter was just cover for his ultimate admission on the second page that IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley was correct when he described sly obstruction from senior DOJ officials, which killed the five-year tax probe into the president’s son.
Weiss admits that he did not have the power to charge in the districts where Hunter allegedly evaded taxes and that the only way to override the refusals of the Biden-appointed US attorneys in Washington, DC, and the Central District of California to charge Hunter was with special powers granted by Attorney General Merrick Garland that he did not have.
Weiss admits in his letter, “my charging authority is geographically limited to my home district,” and that, if he needs to charge in another district, he must ask the relevant US attorney “if it wants to partner on the case.”
This is not hypothetical.
Weiss told his investigative team that US Attorney Matthew Graves in Washington, DC, declined to allow charges against Hunter for the 2014 and 2015 tax years, and US Attorney Martin Estrada in California declined for the 2016–2019 tax years, according to Shapley’s testimony, given under threat of prosecution for perjury.
None of those charges were ever laid…
