IRS whistleblower tags Joe and Hunter Biden
Every taxpayer who dutifully hands over their hard-earned cash every year to the government should be enraged by IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley’s testimony about how senior leaders at the Department of Justice, the FBI and the IRS sabotaged the five-year investigation into Hunter Biden and allowed him to walk away with a laughably lenient plea deal and unpaid taxes.
Shapley is a hero, as is the second IRS whistleblower who came forward to the House Ways and Means Committee over the last month to tell the truth about an egregious abuse of power at the highest level of the federal government to protect the president from evidence that implicated him in his son’s overseas business dealings and which line agents worried could have national security implications.
There are two strands to this growing scandal.
First is the original story of political corruption first revealed on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, which The Post broke on Oct. 14, 2020.
Second is the cover-up, which, like Watergate, has become the bigger scandal.
Both strands are covered in Shapley’s bombshell testimony unsealed last week, and are backed up with new evidence he provided, including documents and messages retrieved from a search warrant of Hunter Biden’s iCloud, conversations from recorded internal IRS and DOJ meetings and interview transcripts with associates of Hunter Biden.
Shapley provides further evidence to add to what we previously have reported, that Joe Biden lied repeatedly to the American people when he said he knew nothing about his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings.
In fact, as we have reported, Joe Biden met with Hunter’s foreign business partners on at least a dozen occasions.
Shapley adds to the list with evidence that Joe joined Hunter and his business partners from the Chinese energy company CEFC at a lunch at the Four Seasons in Washington, DC.
This meeting was revealed by Biden family friend Rob Walker when he was interviewed by an IRS and FBI agent in December 2020.
“We were in DC at the Four Seasons, and we were having lunch and [Joe] stopped in,” Walker said in the transcript of Walker’s recorded comments provided to the committee. “He literally sat down. I don’t even think he drank water. I think Hunter said, ‘I may be trying to start a company or tried to do something with these guys and could you’ … and [Joe] was like, ‘If I’m around,’ and he’d show up.”
FBI agent Josh Wilson asked: “So, I mean, you definitely got the feeling that that was orchestrated by Hunter [to] have like an appearance by his dad at that meeting just to kind of bolster your chances at making a deal work out.”
Walker: “Sure”
...
He also told them that CEFC had paid $100,000 a month to Hunter Biden and $65,000 to his uncle Jim, in exchange for their FBI connections and use of the Biden name to promote China’s Belt and Road Initiative around the world.
Wilson also asked Walker: “Did you hear Hunter say that he was setting up a meeting with his dad with them [overseas business partners] while Dad was in office?
Walker: “Yeah.”
...
In one message, sent on July 30, 2017, Hunter writes to CEFC employee and translator Raymond Zhao, warning him to pay the $5 million he owes his family: “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight.”
Hunter warns Zhao that if he does not comply, “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 her waiting for the call with my father.”
Within a week, $5.1 million was wired to Hunter by CEFC, according to bank records published by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) in their September 2020 report into Hunter Biden’s corruption.
While we don’t know if Hunter was telling the truth to Zhao that his father was sitting with him, we do know from photographs on the laptop that Hunter was at his father’s mansion in Greenville, Del., on the Sunday he wrote the WhatsApp, as were various of Joe’s grandchildren.

There is much more. I get the impression that some in the government did not want to investigate Biden family corruption.
