House GOP Subpoenas FBI and IRS Officials Over Hunter Biden Case

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Sith on Monday issued subpoenas to four FBI and IRs officials, seeking information related to a meeting with now-special counsel David Weiss.

Jordan issued subpoenas for FBI special agents Thomas Sobocinski and Ryeshia Holley, the Washington Examiner reported. Smith, meanwhile, subpoenaed IRS Director of Field Operations Michael Batdorf and IRS Special Agent in Charge Darrell Waldon.

The Oct. 7, 2022, meeting about which the lawmakers seek information allegedly saw Weiss claim he was not the final authority on charging first son Hunter Biden. Prior to his appointment as special counsel, Weiss conducted a years-long investigation into the now-first son, which a pair of whistleblowers who worked on the case contended had been the subject of political interference from Biden administration appointees.

IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and Special Agent Joseph Ziegler have contended that Weiss, in his capacity as U.S. Attorney for Delaware had been denied the ability to bring charges against Biden outside of his jurisdiction. In particular, they claimed that the D.C. U.S. Attorney had refused to partner with them so as to advance tax charges that have since passed the statute of limitations.

Moreover, they contend that Attorney General Merrick Garland had denied a request from Weiss to be named special counsel so as to bring the charges after that incident.

Garland later appointed Weiss amid intense public scrutiny over a plea agreement for the first son that conservatives excoriated as overly lenient.

The subpoenas for each of the officials follow requests for voluntarily cooperation with which the Department of Justice did not comply.

Smith and Jordan’s investigations come as part of a broader Republican effort to investigate the Biden administration, its alleged “weaponization” of government agencies, and the first family’s allegedly illicit business dealings.

    “IN OTHER NEWS”~ Biden Officials Open 114 Massive Gates Along Arizona Border

    Thousands of migrants are flowing across the US border in Arizona every day — literally through open floodgates that have made the Tucson post the busiest point of illegal entry into the country, The Post has learned.

    US officials have inexplicably welded open 114 massive gates along the Arizona border to allow water to flow freely during the annual monsoon season and for the migration of an endangered species of antelope, officials said.

    But the move is also letting an average of 1,400 migrants from as far away as China casually walk into the country daily — with overwhelmed and outnumbered border agents practically helpless to stop them.

    “We thought the agents were going to tell us something,” one Ecuadorean migrant said. “But we just walked in.”

    Said another from Cuba: “It was so easy to get into the US.

    “Nothing like our journey through Mexico. That part was hard,” she added. “I thought there was going to be more security.”

    Video taken by The Post shows a group of around 50 migrants strolling through the opened gates and into the US in a matter of seconds, with nobody stopping or questioning them.

    Smugglers are capitalizing on the floodgate blunder, driving migrants by the busload to the border and dropping them off as if they were casual tourists. Once across, they turn themselves in to border agents and say they are seeking asylum.

    Border Patrol agents call them “give-ups.”

    Slow nibbles around the edges to keep the circus going – it’s all entertainment folks. Look over here while America burns to the ground. They will never touch the real string pullers for Obama. Lisa Monaco and Rod Rosenstein.

    Congress hold the house by Republicans, but when election time comes we need them to take House and Senate or we won’t get anything done.

    ALL and I mean ALL of this horse hockey has been perpetuated since 2009 when the person in the white house began dividing OUR COUNTRY. The lame brained libturds have no clue what the hell is happening to their lives over nothing more than a power grab. The current administration is attempting to take over our lives completely and they are starting with the infirm, the unborn, the children and the elderly. Just like hitler did. That is the reason they want to take away history from the schools and the children, so they cannot learn about tyranny. WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA.
