DOJ accused of rigging 2020 election

 Michael Goodwin:

...

There are numerous bombshells in the congressional testimony of two IRS whistleblowers, but the most significant is that members of Trump’s Department of Justice helped to tip the 2020 election to his opponent by slow-walking the investigation into Hunter Biden.

The interference with the probe began as soon as it looked like Joe Biden was going to win the Democrats’ nomination.

That’s the allegation made by supervising agent Gary Shapley, who detailed steps he and other IRS investigators wanted to take to gather evidence against Hunter for massive tax fraud and other crimes.

They planned to execute search warrants in New York, California, Arkansas and Washington, DC.

They also wanted to search Joe Biden’s Delaware guest house because Hunter spent a lot of time there.

The probers laid out their plan in a probable cause memo, but it was inexplicably rejected by DOJ lawyers.

“After former Vice President Joseph Biden became the presumptive Democratic nominee for president in early April 2020, career DOJ officials dragged their feet on the IRS taking these investigative steps,” Shapley testified.

“By June 2020, those same career officials were already delaying overt investigative actions.”

Noting that the rejections came long before the probes ran afoul of the Justice Department’s rule to “stand down” on political cases within 60 or 90 days of an election, Shapley said bluntly: “It was apparent that DOJ was purposely slow-walking investigative actions in this matter.”

So the fix — for both the case and the election — was in from the start.

The testimony is pure dynamite, with Shapley and the other agent, who is unidentified, documenting numerous instances where either career officials or, later, Joe Biden appointees, stepped in to thwart the investigation.

They claim DOJ lawyers tipped off Hunter’s lawyers about a plan to conduct surprise interviews, and disclosed the plan to search a storage locker, giving Biden’s team time to remove any incriminating evidence.

Shapley, who led a team of 12 IRS agents, said that unlike usual practices, Justice lawyers selected which witnesses could be interviewed.

His team was blocked from seeing Hunter Biden’s laptop, even though the FBI had authenticated it in 2019.

“Investigators assigned to this investigation were obstructed from seeing all the available evidence,” he testified, calling the move “unprecedented.”

He also said they were instructed “to not look into anything related to President Biden.”

An example of their suspicions of wider crimes includes the infamous July 30, 2017, WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to Chinese businessman Henry Zhao, where Hunter wrote: “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.”

He threatened that if he didn’t get a call or text from the right people, “I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction.”

As The Post reported, Senate officials in 2020 found that Hunter Biden’s checking accounts received wires totaling $5.1 million from China in subsequent days.

Did the “big guy” get his cut?
...

Those in the DOJ responsible for this fiasco and getting Biden elected should be brought to justice.  They helped get a terrible president elected in Biden and they did it because of an irrational animous toward Trump apparently. 

Roger Kimball also exposes the scam.

Gradually, however, the truth leaked out. First, the authenticity of the laptop was acknowledged. Turns out it was not “Russian disinformation,” as those 51 intelligence experts insisted. Nope, it belonged to Hunter all right. At first, the public was titillated by all the sex-drugs-and-rock-n-roll that pervaded that digital trove. Gradually, very gradually, however, the publicly important stuff—the money angle with news of foreign payments apparently to dear-old-dad from various foreigners—began leaking out.

Then suddenly, just this last week, the House Ways and Means Committee began dropping bombs.

Material from an IRS whistleblower—no, two IRS whistleblowers—got fed into the mix and we got such Hunter Biden classics as this WhatsApp message from July 2017 addressed to Henry Zhao, a member of the Chinese Communist Party and, wouldn’t you know it, a business partner of Hunter’s:

I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment [the commitment being millions of the crispest] made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight, And, Z, fi [sic] get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.
I enjoyed reading that over the morning coffee while gazing at the accompanying photograph of Hunter all got up in black tie for a big to-do at the White House the other day. That was right after he, miraculously, managed to wangle the plea bargain of the century. He failed to report millions in income, yet the prosecutor agreed to reduce felony charges to misdemeanors and, essentially, to forget about the fact that Hunter lied on his application for a firearm, a felony. Nice work, Hunter!

The War on Trump Is a War on Millions

Biden’s Justice Department views Trump as a traitor. It views Trump’s supporters the same way. 

...

For the 2020 election cycle, federal law enforcement used the same plot points for the same purpose: to shield the Democratic candidate from revelations of corruption that might thwart his chances. The FBI was especially concerned about Hunter Biden’s laptop, which it had taken into its possession in 2019. To prevent the voting public from learning of the evidence of Biden family corruption sourced to the laptop, the bureau set up a censorship task force and labeled reports about it “Russian disinformation”—just Vladimir Putin again, so keen to keep Trump in the White House he’s polluting the infosphere by smearing Joe Biden and his son. After the election, social media platforms acknowledged how the FBI had defrauded the public, and press organizations that had participated in the cover-up admitted that the laptop was genuine.
...
So the Trump indictment is a cover-up for Biden as well as an early effort to tilt the 2024 vote away from Trump. But it’s part of a second storyline, too, and though it intersects in places with the DOJ thread, it represents something significantly more dangerous than one political faction turning the spy services against the other faction. After all, that’s a standard feature of all third-world security regimes, but few caudillos risk setting the stage for domestic conflict.
...

What we are finding is that there are factions within the government who oppose free and fair elections if that means someone like Trump and his supporters might win.  They are actively trying to rig the next election already despite having put into office a mental cripple who is accused of corruption on a huge scale.  Until the Democrats can clean up their own mess they have created in their desperation to defeat Trump, voters would be wise to vote against those who got Biden elected.

Whistleblower Transcripts Show Deep-State Election Rigging For Biden Was Way Bigger Than A Laptop

 If you thought censorship of a laptop was the extent of the deep state’s 2020 election rigging on behalf of the Biden family, think again.

...

This was hugely significant, not only because it exposed the depravity of federal law enforcement and America’s information gatekeepers, but also because polling showed that if voters had known the depths of Biden family filth at the time, a potentially scale-tipping number of them would have voted differently in the 2020 election.
