DOJ ordered Hunter Biden investigators to 'remove any reference' to Joe Biden in FARA probe warrant: House GOP
Fox News ^ | 9/27/23 | Brooke Singman

The U.S. Department of Justice ordered FBI and IRS investigators involved in the Hunter Biden probe to "remove any reference" to President Biden in a search warrant related to a Foreign Agents Registration Act probe, new documents released by the House Ways & Means Committee reveal.

Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., led a vote Wednesday to release new documents provided by IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler that "corroborate their initial testimony to the Committee and reinforce their credibility and their high esteem among colleagues."

"The Biden Administration — including top officials at the Justice Department — lied to the American public and engaged in a cover-up that interfered with federal investigators and protected the Biden family, including President Biden himself," the committee said.

One document released Wednesday was an August 2020 email sent by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf in which she ordered investigators to remove any reference to "Political Figure 1" from a search warrant. Subsequent documents released Wednesday revealed that President Biden is "Political Figure 1."

"As a priority, someone needs to redraft attachment B," Wolf writes in the email. "I am not sure what this is cut and pasted from but other than the attribution location, and identity stuff at the end, none of it is appropriate and within the scope of this warrant."

Wolf adds: "Please focus on FARA evidence only. There should be nothing about Political Figure 1 in here."

.....a threatening text message Hunter allegedly sent to a Chinese business associate follows......

Hunter references his father’s presence in the same room,
Joe is listening to Hunter peddling Joe’s influence..........

HUNTER UNLEASHED: “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment 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.”

” I will make certain that between the man (joe biden) sitting next to me.... and every person he knows (in DC).... and my ability to forever hold a grudge..... that you will regret not following my direction.”

Hunter added,”I am sitting here waiting for the call back with my father.”

REALITY CHECK Hunter Biden’s laptop shows he was with Joe Biden on the day he
allegedly sent the threatening text messages........ the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Ways and Means Republicans need to talk to ex-moneyman Eric Schwerin.
<>emails from Hunter’s hard drive show Schwerin moving money on behalf of Joe and Hunter
<>Scherwin also managed Hunter’s family expenses.
<>Schwerin emailed Hunter WRT monies from Biden’s income tax refund going to Hunter’s account
<>Scherwin said Joe “owes you.”
<>Democrats acknowledge Schwerin handled Joe Biden’s finances til the end of his VP tenure.
<>Schwerin received Joe Biden’s “Delaware tax refund check” while he was vice president.
<>Scherwin is on record talking by phone w/ Hunter about Joe Biden’s mortgage.

In February 2014, Hunter advised Schwerin to describe himself as a “close confidant and counsel” to his VP dad WRT a letter of recommendation Schwerin was penning on Joe Biden’s behalf.

The NY Post reported that Eric Schwerin was involved in the transfer of Joe Biden’s Senate papers to the U of Delaware in March 2010 — which may have included “sensitive” and “classified” documents.

By December 2017, Hunter had fallen out with Schwerin and attempted to cut ties with him.

HUNTER UNLEASHED “I terminated you as an at will employee for gross negligence. Also if you continue to sit with friends of mine and relationships that are mine and defame me I will sue you for defamation of character and embezzlement and for the debt with you still have not contributed your supposed 25% share of,” Hunter wrote on Dec. 12, 2017. “ … We are no longer just done as business partners you should consider moving to somewhere in Florida I’ll never go. Naples is perfect you can live in perpetual time share with your parents and talk about what a horrible person I am.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Congressional testimony from Hunter’s former business partner, Devon Archer, and newly discussed emails, indicate that the president’s son’s memoir “Beautiful Things” was an exercise in spin rather than truth-telling, especially concerning his father’s role in his foreign business dealings.

That evidence shows the wily Bidens used the memoir to create a politically charged narrative – one largely embraced by the toady mainstream media – that distorted the truth to protect the Biden family.

On page 118, Hunter writes that after accompanying then-VP Joe Biden to China on Air Force Two in 2013 (mooching off taxpayers), he “merely introduced” his father to a well-connected Chinese investor.....a quick greeting just long enough for a handshake.

Hunter writes: “While we were in Beijing, Dad met one of Devon’s Chinese partners, Jonathan Li, in the lobby of the American delegation’s hotel, just long enough to say hello and shake hands. Li and I then headed off for a cup of coffee.”

The account seems to comport with now-President Biden’s repeated denials that he discussed business with his son or had any substantive involvement with his partners.

However, Archer told a different story to U.S. lawmakers during a deposition earlier this year. “Jonathan Li and VP Biden had coffee.....in Beijing......intimating it was business related.

Wolf needs to be subpoenaed immediately, put under oath and grilled like a hot dog about this evidence of malfeasance of office. Then jailed.

Greenfield-—At first glance, Hunter Biden’s influence peddling deals appear to be internationally opportunistic, as he flew on AF Two, mooching off taxpayers, hopscotching from one part of the world to the other, exploiting whatever openings emerged.

Republicans need to scrutinize whether Hunter and his business partners were piggybacking on the foreign and domestic policies of the Obama/Biden administration, colluding WRT the green energy agenda, and Chinese and Ukrainian oligarchs looking to do business in America.

"He gets 10%? What's my cut?"

A Dozen key revelations from the Hunter Biden criminal probe
justthenews ^ | 9/27/2023 | Steven Richards
FR Posted on 9/27/2023, 9:22:41 PM by bitt

The House Ways and Means Committee released documents Wednesday that Chairman Jason Smith, (R-Mo.), says reveals a deepening pattern of “influence peddling” by the Biden family.

It also underscores Biden’s DoJ officials’ persistent efforts to obstruct the investigation into Hunter.

The Committee voted to release 700 pages of materials from the federal investigation into the Biden family that were provided by IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler.

In prepared remarks, Cong Smith said that Hunter Biden and his family operated a “complex and lucrative enterprise” to “enrich themselves to the tune of at least $20 million.”

“It is clear that then-VP Joe Biden’s political power and influence was, “the brand” that Hunter Biden was selling all over the world,” he added.

I thought other charges against Hunter had to be filed before the end of the month.

They should all be heavily scrutinized just for having maintained appearances of impropriety for so long, and it should get even more heavy-handed from there. This is hardball, baby, and we need to run at them like Ty Cobb with our spikes sharp and shin-high.

Unfortunately nothing is going to happen..

Between the uniparty, deep state and party machines/K Street lobbyist/whores it’s just business as usual.

All the more proof the 17th Amendment need s to be repealed and Senior Executive Service eliminated via a Convention of States. Two line items.. done. The foundation of this malfeasance is removed.

Our Founding Father’s were not stupid!

Still more evidence that Traitorgarland and the DOJ are giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

Yet none of them will be in trouble for it. If Trump was to win in 2024 his DOJ will be constantly watched and criticized for anyone they go after. Accused of what they are doing now.

All of this will quietly disappear when DJT’s trials start.The worst case scenario for the Bidens is that Hunter gets a full,unconditional pardon for any crimes he did commit or *may* have committed. Kinda like the one Nixon got and the one that the Peanut Farmer gave to all the draft dodgers.

Trump’s first act as President should be to fire the entire SES and all of their combined staffs. Then strip them of their security clearances.
