LISTEN HERE:
Intense reactions erupted on Twitter and among Republican figures after allegations surfaced that the Biden administration was intentionally mishandling the investigation into Hunter Biden. Fox News confirmed that a letter seeking whistleblower protection was written by attorney Mark D. Lytle on behalf of his client, an IRS criminal supervisory agent. The letter claimed that the agent had made legally protected disclosures at the IRS, which contradicted sworn testimony provided to Congress by a senior political appointee.
Lytle wrote, ‘My goal is to ensure that my client can properly share his lawfully protected disclosures with congressional committees. Thus, I respectfully request that your committees work with me to facilitate sharing this information with congress legally and with the fully informed advice of counsel.’
An IRS agent has put forth allegations that the investigation into Hunter Biden has been compromised by political biases. As a result, social media users swiftly shared this ‘major breaking news,’ sparking a discussion about potential political fallout concerning Hunter’s connection to his father and questions about whether mainstream media will cover the story. Radio host Mark Simone commented, ‘Major breaking news – a whistleblower exposes a deep cover-up in the Hunter Biden investigation and involvement of Merrick Garland in it and, of course, corrupt Lester Holt doesn’t even mention it on the evening news.’

Michael D. Brown, former Homeland Security Under Director, voiced his support for protecting whistleblowers and their information, stating, ‘Read this. Every civil servant who has this kind of information and is willing to come forth should be afforded every protection available under the law. Congress has a duty to hear the information and consider it in whatever or any investigation they are or may pursue.’ Republicans and conservatives alike echoed this sentiment, highlighting the importance of transparency and accountability in government.
Will Scharf, former Missouri attorney general candidate, took to Twitter to criticize the apparent inconsistencies in investigations involving the Bidens and Trump. He tweeted, ‘They cover up Hunter Biden’s many real crimes. And they indict President Trump over fake crimes. Are you watching? The left is so hell-bent on winning that they’re eroding the rule of law and trying to turn us into a banana republic.’ Others questioned whether whistleblowers exposing Democrats would be treated the same as those targeting Republicans.

Conservative user usilli Spock quipped, ‘If a whistleblower has information on a Democrat, does it even count?’ Podcast host Monica Crowley weighed in with similar frustration, exclaiming, ‘The entire System is protecting Joe, Hunter, and the rest of these Biden slimeballs. It’s corrupt to Hell and back.’ Indeed, many conservatives seem to feel that the media and justice system may be selectively pursuing investigations based on political affiliation.
Since 2018, Hunter Biden has been under investigation with no charges filed against him. This perceived lack of progress led Republican politicians to call for further inquiries into both Hunter’s activities and the potential connections between his dealings and the Biden administration. They stressed the need for a thorough examination of these alleged shady practices, as they could potentially implicate high-ranking officials and compromise the integrity of our government.
Kentucky Rep. James Comer expressed concerns about the Biden administration potentially obstructing justice and hindering efforts to charge Hunter for tax violations. He tweeted, ‘The Biden Admin may be obstructing justice by blocking efforts to charge Hunter Biden for tax violations. We know Hunter Biden engaged in deceptive business schemes. @GOPoversight will hold accountable anyone in the Admin who may be covering up this criminal activity.’

Similarly, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., linked the current situation to a larger, ongoing effort to conceal Biden family corruption, stating, ‘The coverup of Biden family corruption has been going strong for years.’ Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., also chimed in, commending the bravery of the whistleblower and urging more insiders to come forward with information.
Johnson’s tweet read, ‘IRS whistleblower claims @IRSnews is ‘improperly handling the criminal investigation’ into Hunter Biden and alleges ‘preferential treatment?’ I’m shocked. Kudos to the whistleblower, I hope more come forward so the truth can be exposed. It’s past time for a Special Counsel.’ These demands for a Special Counsel signify mounting pressure from conservatives who are eager to see fair and unbiased investigations into the Biden family’s activities.
It’s important to note that Hunter Biden has been subject to investigation since 2018, with a grand jury inquiry reported in 2020 focusing on suspicious foreign transactions. Despite the allegations and ongoing investigations, he has not been charged with any crimes. This lack of legal repercussions has fueled further skepticism and criticism from conservatives who insist on a thorough examination of his affairs.
An IRS supervisor told lawmakers that he has information that the DOJ is INTENTIONALLY MISHANDLING its investigation into Hunter Biden. If this is true, Garland needs to be IMPEACHED!! The Biden Crime Family SHOULD NOT receive ANY special treatment!!

In addition to these concerns, Lytle’s letter on behalf of his IRS agent client highlighted allegations of ‘clear conflicts of interest’ involving the investigator responsible for the Hunter Biden case. The letter claimed that politics influenced the protocols involved in the investigation, leading to preferential treatment for the president’s son.
As these allegations continue to circulate, many conservative voices are demanding action and transparency from both the Biden administration and the mainstream media. They argue that it’s important for the American people to get a full picture of any potential wrongdoings or corruption involving the Bidens in order to maintain trust in our institutions and promote accountability at the highest levels of government.
While the investigation into Hunter Biden has yet to result in any charges, the recent whistleblower claims could potentially change the course of the inquiry. As conservative voices grow louder in their calls for further scrutiny and transparency, the demand for accountability in both the Biden administration and the media is unlikely to subside.

It remains to be seen how the allegations and calls for whistleblower protection will impact the ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s activities. However, it’s clear that conservative voices will continue to push for a thorough and unbiased examination of the facts in the pursuit of justice and government accountability.
Ultimately, the allegations and conservative outcry serve as a reminder that political biases must not be allowed to pervade our justice system, and that all Americans — regardless of political affiliation — deserve equal treatment and access to the truth. Amidst these contentious political times, it’s crucial for our institutions to uphold their obligations towards transparency, impartiality, and fairness.
Biden family has received millions from foreign gov'ts and hid it from IRS. Biden lies everyday about his clear criminality involving foreign pay to play schemes. Hunter lied on gov't docs to get a gun. He hired very young girls that were sex trafficked. No charges for anything
