Of Course There Has Been Biden Administration Political Interference in the Biden Family Criminal Investigation

The IRS whistleblower story, on which our Ari Blaff reported yesterday, is such a big development in the Biden corruption saga that even the New York Times has sensed the need to acknowledge it.

It does not detract in any way from this news to observe that it is simply making the obvious explicit. As I opined in a New York Post op-ed yesterday afternoon, it’s been clear for five years that there are slam-dunk charges that could be brought against Hunter Biden, yet no action has been taken:

Let’s say you lied on a required federal firearms form to conceal your use of illegal drugs so you could buy a .38 caliber handgun, then you irresponsibly lost that gun across the street from a school, and then the government found video evidence of you waving that gun around while cavorting with a prostitute.

If you had done all those things within a few days in 2018, do you suppose that by five years later, the government would have taken exactly zero action against you?

No arrest.

No indictment.

No prosecution.

In fact, do you think that, if it were you who had done all these things, the only government action would be an apparent attempt by a federal law-enforcement agency — say, the Secret Service — to conceal what had happened?

Do you imagine you’d be that lucky?

Or do you figure that you’d have long ago been charged with making a false statement and illegally possessing a firearm — especially with the government being run by a Democrat, such as President Joe Biden, who has a history of demagogically crusading against Second Amendment rights?

No, you’d be in serious legal trouble. In fact, there’s only one way to get off scot-free for this kind of egregious behavior.

You have to be Joe Biden’s son.

That’s the lesson to take away from the inevitable yet startling news that a whistleblower — a senior Internal Revenue Service criminal investigator who has been overseeing the Hunter Biden probe — has complained to the IRS, to the Justice Department, and now to House and Senate committees that the probe has been undermined by political interference.

The rest is here.
