Just when you thought you couldn’t possibly get more screwed by the Bidens …
John took a sharp look last night at the initial allegations by whistleblowers at the IRS of a cover-up at the Department of Justice. One particularly salacious tidbit came out later, and it’s a doozy. We know from Hunter Biden’s laptop that he burned through a lot of money on hookers and drugs, but you’ll never guessed who paid for the former.
You did. And so did I, according to testimony from these whistleblowers:
Hunter Biden illegally deducted tens of thousands of dollars in payments made to a prostitute and a sex club from his taxes, according to bombshell IRS whistleblower testimony to Congress released on Thursday.
In a June 1 interview with the House Ways and Means Committee, one whistleblower, an unnamed IRS criminal investigator, detailed how Hunter went to great lengths to underreport his income and avoid paying $106,000 in taxes – including by writing off his sex escapades as business expenses.
“So some of the items that he deducted were personal no-show employees. He deducted payments that were made to who he called his West Coast assistant, but she was essentially a prostitute,” the whistleblower, who worked on the agency’s investigation into alleged tax fraud perpetrated by President Biden’s son on his 2018 return, alleged in his testimony.
Another whistleblower, IRS supervisory agent Gary Shapley, told the committee on May 26 that he found several instances of Hunter improperly expensing flights for prostitutes.
Hunter had all the fun. We picked up the tab. (At least we avoided the social diseases.) With the sex club membership, the orgies, and the jet-setting hookers, it looks a little like a Jeffrey Epstein-esque bacchanalia, only without the minors (we hope) but with taxpayer funding.
Some might be wondering how Hunter Biden could have gotten away with that. Isn’t the IRS notoriously picky about “business expenses”? Indeed they are, but those who wonder are forgetting two things. First off, it wasn’t the IRS that ignored the matter. The IRS actually subpoenaed Damon Lawner, the owner of the SNCTM Sex Club in Los Angeles, to find out why Hunter listed his membership there as a “golf club” for business purposes. (Obligatory jokes about ‘strokes’ can go here.)
Second off … come on, man. Did we mention his last name is Biden? The IRS and some at the FBI wanted to pursue all these as potential felony tax charges. They got overruled and eventually shut down by DoJ leadership. Even then, as John noted last night from IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley’s testimony to Congress, the man publicly in charge apparently wasn’t actually calling the shots:
United States Attorney Weiss was present for the meeting. He surprised us by telling us on the charges, quote: “I’m not the deciding official on whether charges are filed,” unquote.
He then shocked us with the earth-shattering news that the Biden-appointed D.C. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves would not allow him to charge in his district.
That seems like a huge problem, considering the PR from the Biden White House around Weiss’ supposedly independent review. Given the nature of these fraudulent claims, it’s even worse than it looked last night. And let us not forget, too, that Hunter’s dad spent the first two years of his presidency demanding a massive amount of expansion at the IRS in order to … well, let’s let Joe himself say it in his State of the Union speech last February:
Let’s finish the job and close the loopholes that allow the very wealthy to avoid paying their taxes.
Instead of cutting the number of audits for wealthy taxpayers, I just signed a law to reduce the deficit by $114 billion by cracking down on wealthy tax cheats. (Applause.) That’s being fiscally responsible.
Audits for thee, but not for we! How else to explain letting this “wealthy tax cheat” off the hook?
As Jazz just wrote, this is banana-republic stuff, only without the cool Tommy Bahama cabana shirts. Joe Biden wants to sic IRS audits on Americans to plug holes in his pathologically unbalanced spending plans, but wants to let taxpayers fund Hunter’s sex parties and hookers. Talk about getting screwed.
And that prompts the question: who else gets a free pass from tax-law enforcement? Biden’s brothers? Do the Bidens have a ‘Friends of the Family Plan’ at the DoJ? How about paid fronts for their LLC money-laundering? Who else won’t Biden’s US Attorney charge in his district? Perhaps large-scale donors to Biden’s election campaigns and the Democrat Party?
The problem is that we don’t know. There was a time when we could rely on the rule of law, and on institutions to resist when high-ranking pols attempted to corrupt it and the institutions as well. Now we live in times where so much has been corrupted that it’s almost impossible to see where the rot ends, or if it even does at all. The whores outnumber the virtuous in the institutions these days, perhaps even in overwhelming numbers.
Maybe that’s why Weiss and Graves refused to allow for a proper investigation and prosecution into Hunter’s tax deductions for hookers. Professional courtesy.
