The Department of Justice (DOJ) began to offer dates for Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to explain on Capitol Hill why federal prosecutors struck a weak plea agreement with the president’s son.
On Monday, the assistant attorney general for legislative affairs sent a letter to the House Judiciary Committee “to offer U.S. Attorney Weiss to testify shortly after Congress returns from the August district work period.” The department offered Sept. 27-28 or Oct. 18-19 for Weiss to give public testimony, according to the letter obtained by The Federalist.
“U.S. Attorney Weiss is the appropriate person to speak to these issues, as he is both the senior Department official responsible for the investigation as well as the person with direct knowledge of the facts necessary to respond to the assertions in which you have expressed interest,” the letter said, indicating the DOJ is preparing to throw Weiss under the bus for the Biden-protection racket.
Lawmakers received the letter on the same day the House Oversight Committee finalized plans to hear from former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer, who will give testimony on Monday next week. Archer is expected to testify that Hunter Biden facilitated meetings and phone calls with his then-vice president father at least two dozen times.
Monday’s letter from the Justice Department was signed by a mid-level staffer, not by Attorney General Merrick Garland or even his deputy, while open questions remain surrounding Weiss’s ability to press the charges recommended by federal investigators.
Gary Shapley is one of two veteran agents at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) who testified last week as a whistleblower on the Hunter Biden tax probe. On Thursday, Shapley claimed Weiss was denied special counsel authority to investigate the first family.

Hunter Biden struck a plea deal with federal prosecutors, led by Weiss, limited to two misdemeanor tax crimes and one charge of felony firearm possession. The latter will be forgiven following 24 months of sobriety, an agreement in jeopardy if the mysterious cocaine in the White House were linked to Hunter, who authored a book on his own struggles with drug addiction.
Joseph Ziegler, the other IRS agent who testified alongside Shapley, told lawmakers the case warranted special counsel protection.
“I still think that a special counsel is necessary for this investigation,” Ziegler said, before a federal judge has signed off on the plea agreement.
Both made clear that significant felony charges were left off the table in violation of department policy. Whistleblowers also said federal tax investigators were left in the dark about evidence of a $10 million bribery scheme between the president and his son and Ukrainian businessmen.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, has called on Garland to allow nearly a dozen DOJ officials to testify about the whistleblower allegations last week. The Department of Justice said Monday, however, that Weiss himself could address the specific allegations of widespread interference made by the pair of IRS whistleblowers in their bombshell testimony.
“The Department believes it is strongly in the public interest for the American people and for Congress to hear directly from U.S. Attorney Weiss on these assertions and questions about his authority at a public hearing,” the letter read.
GOOD! Let;s SEE what he’s MADE of!!! Is he just going to LIE DOWN AND TAKE IT?? Probably!
For doing a poor job on the plea deal
Wait! Hasn't the Federal DOJ been protecting the Biden crime family since Obama and probably earlier? Now they're going after Delaware's AG for doing what they've been doing in spades.
I have no words! We are living in la la land!
Someone needs to throw the DOJ and the FBI under a bus.
Hopefully there will be 50 more right behind it.
I would rather see him get thrown under the big rig.
Schadenfreude. Chips fall where they mat, Mr.Weiss.
Exactly. I hope this is just the start of more to come.
It is the DOI
Department of Injustice
I hear ya...
Same here...
Will they fire Jessica Bengels for her colossal screw-up?
See what he is willing to testify to in return for immunity!
The only person who knows what Weiss was told and what Garland said is the Deputy Attorney General or DAG who is the #2 at DOJ.
Weiss did not talk to Garland. Garland did not talk to Weiss.
They both spoke to the DAG who supervised the investigation and plea proposal.
Weiss will get crucified. Garland will be impeached. Nobody talks about the DAG.
PS - the US attorneys in LA and DC both report to her as well and would have discussed the requests by Weiss with her.
They will protect the DAG before they protect Garland but what if he is telling the truth? He tells the DAG this is what I want. She tells Weiss what she wants. Weiss has to report to her, not Garland. Weiss hears one thing from Garland (in public) but he gets his orders from the DAG.
Garland -—— DAG -—— Weiss
Weiss -—— DAG -—— Garland
Weiss -—— DAG -—— LA US Atty
Weiss -—— DAG -—— DC US Atty
Ask yourself who is really in the middle of this.....
“So, yeah, we gave him a sweetheart deal, whatcha gonna do about it?”…
.
This seems like a fake news smoke screen. I ain’t buying it.
Whoever wrote or authorized that letter is the one or are the ones to put under oath and be questioned.
Don’t go for the bait.
Get the meat.
Perhaps we are about to find out who the real puppet masters are. If it is Obie of has cabal then Al things Biden are toast…
Criminal history of Delaware prosecutor Weiss’s family unearthed by nonprofit Marco Polo.
David Weiss had his law school fees paid for with dirty money

David Weiss, the justice official prosecuting Hunter Biden for tax crimes, had his college and law school fees paid in part by bribes from tax cheats, legal documents show.
Weiss’ father, Meyer Weiss, worked as an IRS agent in Philadelphia from 1955 to 1984. He was caught accepting over $200,000 in bribes from businessmen seeking to break federal tax laws, and was sentenced four years in prison.
Meyer spent almost $71,020 on David’s college and law school tuition, in part financed by the bribe money, a 1995 US tax court ruling said.
The criminal history of the Delaware prosecutor’s family was unearthed by right wing nonprofit Marco Polo.
The organization previously conducted a two-year investigation into the Biden family and last year published a shocking 650-page report alleging dozens of crimes by Joe Biden, his son, family members and associates.
Founder Garrett Ziegler, a former Donald Trump White House staffer, said though the Delaware prosecutor is not responsible for his father’s actions, he fears they may color his approach to tax prosecutions.
‘A son cannot be held to account for the sins of his father, of course. But that’s not what we’re asking,’ Ziegler told DailyMail.com.
