AG Merrick Garland Faces Impeachment Over Hunter Biden Case

After IRS whistleblower evidence that Attorney General Merrick Garland intervened in the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, House Leader Kevin McCarthy said, Republicans would open an impeachment probe on July 6.

After IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, a 14-year veteran, said that Hunter Biden was given preferential treatment by investigators looking into his tax troubles and lying on a weapons permit application, Republicans decided to take this step.

Kevin McCarthy Threatens Impeachment for Merrick Garland

Hunter's July 30, 2017, WhatsApp message to Chinese Communist Party official Henry Zhao threatened to follow his "orders" and that his dad was with him, according to Shapley.

Shapley claims DOJ officials dismissed his WhatsApp messaging concerns. McCarthy stated on Fox & Friends Monday that US Attorney David Weiss, who oversaw the Hunter Biden investigation and accused the president's son last week of breaking federal tax and gun laws following a 5-year probe, must come before the House Judiciary Committee.

If the IRS whistleblower charges are verified, an impeachment inquiry regarding Garland will commence on July 6. Per Daily Mail, McCarthy said the main issue is US Attorney Weiss's statements vs. Attorney General Merrick Garland's. According to the whistleblower, Hunter wrote a scary WhatsApp message to a Chinese Communist Party official, implying that his father would punish him if he did not comply with the specific demand.

The charges contradicted the Biden family's and administration's assurances that Joe was not involved in his son's international business transactions, while Hunter Biden's claims were unproven. Hunter's attorneys say the WhatsApp was the ramblings of a sick man with drug addiction, while the White House insists Joe Biden had no awareness of his son's business operations.

On Friday, Shapley's lawyer said prosecutors had blocked his WhatsApp investigation. The House Ways and Means Committee revealed evidence from two IRS whistleblowers, including Shapley, who claimed the Justice Department, FBI, and IRS intervened with the tax fraud case against Hunter Biden.

The testimony "outlines malfeasance and government misuse at the IRS and FBI in the investigation of Hunter Biden," according to committee chairman Jason Smith, a Missouri Republican.

Hunter Biden Probe

With each passing second, more lurid evidence emerges that the Justice Department was heavily committed to sheltering Joe Biden's lowlife son from justice for his crimes. Knowing that a court should not rule on Hunter Biden's plea offer next month. As it seems to constitute obstruction of justice, it can wait until House investigators finish their Hunter inquiry, as per NY Post.

This month, Shapley told Congress that Delaware US Attorney David Weiss informed many witnesses in October last year that higher-ups stopped him from pursuing certain charges against Hunter.

The Justice Department refused him special counsel designation, severely limiting his ability to pursue the president's son. Shapley felt "misled" by Weiss since many of these discoveries occurred after the IRS had accumulated evidence to prosecute Biden in California.

The entire sworn testimony extensively details and documents Shapley's experience investigating Hunter, with obstacle after obstacle thwarting the probe, which Shapley called "inconsistent" with the past procedure and Attorney General Merrick Garland's testimony that Weiss had full authority over the matter.

Garland denies interfering, but Shapley said five others heard Weiss say he couldn't press charges. Legal experts slammed the Justice Department's generous plea agreement with Hunter.

Prosecutors want Hunter to get probation and a promise to stay sober and never buy another gun for lying about his shady business operations, avoiding taxes, and buying a pistol while addicted to crack. House investigators cannot contact Shapley, other listeners, or Merrick Garland until the plea hearing before Federal District Judge Maryellen Noreika in a month.
