It seems a whole lot like the DOJ was really calling the shots. David Weiss couldn’t have been all that independent if HQ was responding to Congress for him on all the questions they had about the botched Hunter Biden investigation. Like, if it was botched intentionally. Every day, more and more evidence comes out to show exactly how the probe was compromised.
DOJ running the show
The whole investigation into Hunter Biden’s financial shenanigans was nothing but show put on by the DOJ. That, and to give Merrick Garland and his minions an excuse to thumb their nose at Congressional requests for information. They couldn’t say a word with an “investigation” going on. David Weiss had all the authority he needed to let Hunter off on everything.
What he didn’t have was authority to prosecute any of the real crimes. That’s what he told the investigators who really weren’t allowed to investigate much. The Just Us Department explained to House lawmakers that Weiss could have had all the authority he wanted for the asking. He simply didn’t ask. He’s been granted that power now but it’s a little too late. That move makes it even more clear that “the fix” is still in.
Thanks to a “senior Justice Department official’s contact with lawyers for both Hunter Biden and IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley,” we now know that “DOJ headquarters — not Delaware U.S. attorney David Weiss — controlled the federal investigation” of Hunter Biden.

Attorney for IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley tells 'The Story' of suspicions surrounding contact with ADAG Bradley Weinsheimer.— Clayton Blanchard (@ClayBlanche1951) August 31, 2023
On Wednesday, August 30, “Shapley’s lawyers revealed their contacts with associate deputy attorney general Bradley Weinsheimer.” It appears that this individual served “as a conduit for Hunter Biden’s legal team in the final stretch of the tax fraud investigation by Weiss’ office.”
This disclosure, New York Post points out, “comes as House Republicans move closer to launching an impeachment inquiry.” There will be several of those but the important one is Joe Biden. Congress is looking into Joe’s “alleged role in his son’s foreign business deals.”
From what we already know, it looks a whole lot like the DOJ tried to make it all go away with a “probation-only plea deal that was dramatically rejected by a federal judge last month.” Joe has been ducking reporters ever since.
A fishing trip
Now that Shapley’s lawyers are starting to see the big picture, it’s clear that when “Weinsheimer, a subordinate of Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, spoke on the phone with Shapley’s attorney Mark Lytle on April 25 and said that he wanted to understand his claims against other department officials,” that was nothing but a “fishing expedition” for information from the enemy.
A week earlier, Shapley told Congress he had some juicy information. When Lytle called, he was pushing “Weinsheimer for written assurances that Shapley could relay sensitive legally protected information about the ongoing tax fraud investigation to ensure that he wasn’t breaking any laws while blowing the whistle.” DOJ lawyer Weinsheimer said he’d get back to him on that and never did.
Instead, Weinsheimer met with Hunter Biden’s attorney Chris Clark the very next day, April 26. David Weiss, “who purportedly was in charge of the case,” sat in on it too.

The way Shapley’s lawyers have it figured, “after our client offered whistleblower testimony to Congress, Lisa Monaco’s righthand man, Bradley Weinsheimer, scheduled a meeting with Mr. Biden’s defense counsel to appeal over the head of Mr. Weiss in a way that was totally at odds with the narrative that David Weiss was acting independently.” The DOJ “then claimed to us it was genuinely interested in addressing the whistleblower’s allegations, without disclosing its meeting with Hunter Biden’s lawyers.”
Before Weiss decided he better at least charge a couple misdemeanors, Shapley’s team learned there was an even sweeter deal on the table. “We now know that shortly after that meeting Weiss’s assistant [Lesley Wolf] offered to end the case with no guilty plea at all on the very same day that DOJ removed our client and his entire IRS team from the case.” The whistleblowers are calling that “retaliation.” There was an interesting phone call the next day.
“When we followed-up with the Deputy Attorney General’s Office on May 16 about this obvious retaliation, Mr. Weinsheimer’s tone had taken a dramatic turn from claiming interest in the whistleblower disclosures to being completely unwilling to engage and referring us to Mr. Weiss.” That “change of tone and failure to follow up with a written assurance that Shapley’s disclosures to him would be lawful prompted the whistleblower team to question the reason for Weinsheimer’s original outreach and whether it was a sincere attempt to understand and rectify alleged wrongdoing, or a fact-finding mission for other purposes.” It was clearly a “fishing trip.“
