^^^^First I've heard of him. Let's hope he's better than the other combat veteran TX sent to Congress.

Hunter Biden sues IRS, alleges agents tried to ‘target’ and ‘embarrass’ him

https://nypost.com/2023/09/18/...t-and-embarrass-him/

Hunter Biden’s attorneys filed a lawsuit against the IRS on Monday, alleging that agents have “targeted and sought to embarrass” the president’s son.

Biden’s Monday morning filing cites two major examples in IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, two whistleblowers who claimed the IRS mishandled aspects of its investigation into Biden.

Biden’s lawsuit seeks for the court to declare that the IRS “willfully, knowingly, and/or by gross negligence, unlawfully disclosed Mr. Biden’s confidential tax information.”

In addition, Biden is demanding $1,000 in damages for “each and every unauthorized disclosure of his tax returns,” including disclosures that happened after the fact.

Fox News Digital reached out to the IRS for comment on the lawsuit, but they did not immediately respond.

“Biden is the son of the President of the United States. He has all the same responsibilities as any other American citizen, and the IRS can and should make certain that he abides by those responsibilities,” the lawsuit said. “Similarly, Mr. Biden has no fewer or lesser rights than any other American citizen, and no government agency or government agent has free rein to violate his rights simply because of who he is.”

“Yet,” the complaint says, “the IRS and its agents have conducted themselves under a presumption that the rights that apply to every other American citizen do not apply to Mr. Biden.”

The lawsuit goes on to allege that IRS agents Shapley and Ziegler “targeted and sought to embarrass” Biden through statements to the media.

The suit clarifies that the pair of agents are only the “most recent” example of the alleged activity.

Shapley and Zielger testified before the House Oversight Committee earlier this year, saying they faced various limitations when tasked with investigating the president’s son.

Biden’s lawsuit argues the pair’s status as whistleblowers “cannot and does not shield them from their wrongful conduct in making unauthorized public disclosures that are not permitted by the whistleblower process.”

WTF? What bunk; dishonest people lacking any kind of moral compass are sort of hard to embarrass. This is obviously being done to draw attention away from the big guy and discredit the investigation into Biden family crime syndicate money laundering. Now we get to see the hypocritical left on full display. Lil hunter and his father are both are absolute trash and everyone, including daddy’s base, know it well.

Hunter Biden investigation: Third IRS official says Justice Department blocked Weiss from charging

https://www.washingtonexaminer...weiss-charging-biden

A third IRS official confirmed that Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss faced roadblocks when attempting to bring charges against Hunter Biden, contradicting denials issued Wednesday by Attorney General Merrick Garland.

IRS Director of Field Operations Michael Batdorf told the House Ways and Means Committee in a closed-door interview on Sept. 12 that he felt “frustrated” by the refusal of the Justice Department to approve tax charges that IRS agents viewed as well-supported by evidence, according to a transcript of the interview obtained by the Washington Examiner.

He also said the IRS removed agent Gary Shapley, a whistleblower, from the Hunter Biden case at the direction of Weiss despite having done nothing wrong.

Batdorf’s testimony was the latest piece of evidence to suggest Weiss did not enjoy the unfettered authority to pursue Hunter Biden that Garland and others claimed he had.

Still, Batdorf, who was above Shapley in the IRS chain of command, stopped short of attributing the DOJ’s actions to bias in favor of President Joe Biden.

In addition to the two Joe Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys who refused to allow Weiss to bring charges against Hunter Biden in their districts, Batdorf said the DOJ Tax Division opposed bringing charges.

Batdorf said DOJ Tax argued against charges for Hunter Biden during a June 2022 meeting with Weiss and IRS officials, who were in favor of advancing the case.

“DOJ Tax would have to authorize charges prior to David Weiss recommending an indictment or prosecution,” Batdorf said during his interview.

“So, I mean, my understanding is that, I mean, he can’t make that decision without DOJ Tax authorization,” Batdorf said.

The IRS supervisor confirmed that Hunter Biden’s defense team was given an unusual number of chances, possibly as many as four, to meet with DOJ Tax investigators and argue why its client should not face charges.

Tensions between DOJ Tax and the IRS investigators over the strength of the case began after DOJ Tax officials started meeting with Hunter Biden’s defense lawyers, Batdorf said.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) asked Garland on Wednesday about whether DOJ Tax had the ability to stop a U.S. attorney from proceeding on a tax case.

“Most of the time, but not when the attorney general has granted authority to a U.S. attorney to do what he thinks is best,” Garland said at the House Judiciary Committee hearing.

But Weiss did not appear to have that authority at the time.

Batdorf said he sensed frustration on the team that Weiss had found roadblocks on multiple paths to prosecuting Hunter Biden.

“I was frustrated,” he said. “[Weiss] was probably a little frustrated … because he now had to make some decisions on what he was going to do.”

Then, in the fall of last year, the investigation seemed to stall.

Batdorf said the case was effectively dormant from October 2022 until May this year. During the intervening months, investigators had little else to do except wait for Weiss to make a decision about whether to move the case forward or end it. Weiss did not decide to proceed until Shapley had already begun the process of testifying to Congress about the investigation.

“David Weiss made his decision to go forward in May. I’m not sure what drove that decision,” Batdorf said.

House Republicans have questioned whether it was the decision by Shapley and another IRS investigator, Joseph Ziegler, to share their concerns with Congress.

Batdorf said Weiss effectively asked for Shapley’s removal from the case in December 2022 after reviewing emails and memos in which Shapley had documented what he claimed was evidence of preferential treatment toward the Biden family. Weiss informed Batdorf and another IRS supervisor that he would no longer be responding to any of Shapley’s emails or calls.

The decision to remove Shapley’s team was made because, Batdorf said, the IRS supervisors feared Weiss would not move forward with a prosecution unless the IRS investigative team was replaced.

But because “no more investigative actions” remained after an Oct. 7, 2022, team meeting at which Weiss revealed his difficulties in bringing charges against Hunter Biden in a jurisdiction outside Delaware, Batdorf did not inform Shapley he was being pulled from the case until May of this year, when Weiss finally arrived at the decision to proceed, Batdorf said.

Batdorf also appeared to confirm that Lesley Wolf, the main prosecutor working on the investigation under Weiss, was removed from the case in May or June of this year. Hunter Biden’s legal team had worked closely with her in drafting the language of a now-withdrawn plea bargain offered to Hunter Biden until she seemingly dropped out of conversations, the New York Times reported in August.

Shapley had identified her as a constant obstacle to investigative moves the IRS team wanted to take, such as witness interviews or search warrants.

I'm glad Rep. Nehls didn't waste time waiting for Garland's slow-motion lies. The little bastard wouldn't recognize the truth if it bit him on the ass.

And now, it's part of the Congressional Record.

previously reported in this thread was DoJ lawsuit against Elon Musk for not hiring refugees

now:

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...ional-doj-complaint/

Elon Musk’s Space X has sued Attorney General Merrick Garland and other members of President Joe Biden’s administration over the “unconstitutional” U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) complaint issued against the company last month.

The lawsuit filed last week comes after the DOJ alleged last month that SpaceX refused to hire people who were not U.S. citizens or green card holders. The DOJ said Musk’s company wrongly claimed federal laws prohibited them from hiring noncitizens.

However, SpaceX’s lawsuit challenges the legitimacy of DOJ administrative judges who hear cases involving employment bias against noncitizens. The lawsuit alleges these judgeships violate the Constitution because they are appointed by the attorney general , instead of being appointed by the president.

SpaceX has not engaged in any practice or pattern of discriminating against anyone, including asylees or refugees. To the contrary, SpaceX wants to hire the very best candidates for every job regardless of their citizenship status, and in fact has hired hundreds of noncitizens.

But aside from being factually and legally insupportable, the government’s proceedings are unconstitutional for at least four reasons:
(1) the administrative law judge (ALJ) adjudicating the government’s complaint was unconstitutionally appointed;
(2) the ALJ is unconstitutionally insulated from Presidential authority because she is protected by two layers of for-cause removal protections;
(3) the ALJ is unconstitutionally purporting to adjudicate SpaceX’s rights in an administrative proceeding rather than in federal court;
and (4) the ALJ is unconstitutionally denying SpaceX its Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) pressed the DOJ for information regarding its lawsuit against SpaceX, as Breitbart News exclusively reported.

“I was surprised to learn that the United States Department of Justice is suing SpaceX for favoring American citizens in hiring,” Vance wrote in a letter to Garland. “It is difficult to separate this new DOJ investigation of SpaceX from the Biden administration’s other interactions with Mr. Musk.”

GOP Predicts Biden ‘Organized Crime Ring’ Received $50M, $30M More than Shown

Republican lawmakers recently predicted their investigation into the Biden family could prove the Biden business raked in more than $50 million, about $30 million more than bank records show thus far.

Speaking with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) supported Mace’s $50 million prediction. “Do you believe that number is realistic and right?” Hannity asked.

“I do think it’s realistic,” Comer replied, noting the committee has yet to uncover personal bank records of Jim Biden, Joe Biden’s brother, who secretly negotiated a $140 million settlement deal in 2012 between a U.S. company and the Saudi Arabian government due to his relationship with then-Vice President Joe Biden, court documents revealed.

“We haven’t gotten to Jim Biden,” Comer said. “The subpoena for Jim Biden’s personal bank records will be the first crack at Jim Biden. Remember, Jim Biden didn’t leave a laptop lying around, so it’s not been as easy to track his transactions.”

Comer intends to subpoena Hunter and James Biden for personal and business bank records as soon as this week, a committee spokesperson told Breitbart News. Comer did not issue subpoenas sooner because the committee insisted on practicing restraint to “show good faith.”

“We give people plenty of time. When you do subpoenas, if you want to win in court, you have to show good faith effort that you tried to get the information. So we’re checking some boxes,” Comer told Punchbowl News.

“When we do subpoena, if we have to, then we’re going to win the subpoenas in court,” he warned. “It’s not just issuing a subpoena,” Comer said. “It’s about winning.”

Comer explained he intends to issue about 12 subpoenas to individuals who might not willingly comply with the committee’s oversight. The potential subpoenas do not just pertain to the Biden family business scheme but additional investigations the committee has launched, such as the probe into President Joe Biden’s deadly Afghan withdrawal and Biden’s classified document scandal.

Beau was a Democratic politician in Delaware. Draw your own conclusion.

In relative terms: Less overtly corrupt than the other Bidens? Possibly, but that's like saying "Sexually-transmitted disease A is better than Sexually-transmitted disease B."
