In the matter of the Biden family business and
the protection thereof, House Oversight Committee Chairman
James Comer announced that staff conducted a transcribed
interview with a former FBI Supervisory Special Agent assigned
to the FBI’s Wilmington office and the Biden criminal
investigation.
Comer let it be known that the former agent
confirmed key portions of the IRS whistleblower testimony —
i.e., on December 7, 2020, “[t]he night before the interview
of Hunter Biden [in California], both Secret Service
headquarters and the Biden transition team were tipped off
about the planned interview.” On the day of the planned
interview, the FBI and IRS agents sitting in a car outside
Hunter’s house were told to stand by and not approach
Hunter—they had to wait for his call.
Steven Nelson’s New York Post story helpfully puts
the former FBI agent’s testimony together with the IRS
whistleblower Gary Shapley’s testimony. Nelson points out that
Shapley identified the FBI SSA by name as Joe Gordon. The
committee press release omits his name. Nelson adds: “The
White House and attorneys for Hunter Biden did not immediately
respond to a request for comment, nor did the office of the
top Oversight Committee Democrat, Rep. Jamie Raskin of
Maryland.”
The committee press release is posted here. It includes the following bullet points
setting forth highlights of Gordon’s transcribed testimony:
• As part of the criminal investigation into
Hunter Biden, there were multiple witness interviews planned
for December 8, 2020. IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary
Shapley and the former FBI supervisory special agent were
assigned to interview Hunter Biden.• On the evening of December 7, 2020, Shapley
and the FBI supervisory special agent learned that FBI
headquarters had notified Secret Service headquarters
about the planned interview with Hunter Biden. Additionally,
they learned the Biden transition team was notified about
the planned interview. This was not the original plan by the
career agents, which frustrated their investigative efforts
because people found out who didn’t need to know.• On December 8, 2020, Shapley and the FBI
supervisory special agent were notified they would not
be allowed to approach Hunter Biden’s house and instead
would have to wait near his residence until Hunter Biden
contacted them.• The former FBI supervisory special agent told
committee investigators he had never been told to wait
outside to be contacted by the subject of an investigation.• As a result of these actions,
Shapley and the former FBI supervisory special agent never interviewed Hunter Biden.
Comer himself comments: “The Justice
Department’s efforts to cover up for the Bidens reveals a
two-tiered system of justice that sickens the American
people.” That certainly captures my feeling.
The IRS whistleblowers have powerfully testified
to the phony baloney investigation of Hunter Biden. Working on
the investigation, they have put themselves on the line to
testify to their experience. They know from their
first-hand experience that their hands were tied and the
investigation was compromised.
Swinging his arms in windmill
fashion, Biden attorney Abbe Lowell has wildly attacked the
whistleblowers in a manner that seems to me to credit their
testimony. Reading Lowell’s ten-page letter (accessible at the
link), I thought this is a guy who would say anything for
money. He and Hunter may be on the same wavelength. As for the
whistleblowers, they will testify before the committee in
public tomorrow and there will be more confirmation to come.
