There is “no way of knowing' if evidence of “other criminal activity' existed concerning President Joe Biden or Hunter Biden due to prosecutorial guidance to “limit' or block questioning related to the president, an IRS whistleblower alleged.
HUNTER BIDEN TAX PROBE BEGAN AS ‘OFFSHOOT’ IRS INVESTIGATION INTO AMATEUR PORNOGRAPHY SHOP: WHISTLEBLOWER
Nearly a year later, in October 2019, Shapley said the FBI became aware of the laptop, and by December 2019, the FBI took possession of it and"notified the IRS that it likely contained evidence of tax crimes." Shapley further testified that it is"unknown if all the evidence in the laptop was reviewed by agents or by prosecutors."
With regard to limiting questioning related to Joe Biden, Shapley pointed to text messages and emails obtained from Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski, which Fox News Digital first reported before the 2020 presidential election and before it was known that Hunter Biden was under federal investigation.
"We had obvious questions like who was H, who the big guy was, and why this percentage was to be held separately with the association hidden," Shapley testified. "And they were like, ‘How can we not ask?’ Like, that was wrong. We got to ask. We got to ask," Shapley said."And so they basically decided that they would ask the question without saying the words ‘big guy,’ and that then they would somehow be doing what they were asked to do."
"Even though the legal requirements were met, and the investigative team knew evidence would be in these locations, AUSA Wolf stated that they would not allow a physical search warrant on Hunter Biden," Shapley said.Shapley said Wolf determined there was"enough probable cause for the physical search warrant there, but the question was whether the juice was worth the squeeze."
