Was Garland dishonest about Hunter investigations — or was he simply neglectful?

Analyzing Wrongdoing without Interference: The Truth Behind the Biden Investigation

In April 2022, during an Appropriations Committee hearing, I confronted Attorney General Merrick Garland about overseeing Delaware US Attorney David Weiss’ investigation into the Biden family’s questionable foreign influence deals, totaling over $8.3 million. Garland assured me that there would be no political interference in the investigation. However, recent sworn testimony from impartial IRS criminal investigators working on the case painted a different picture.

IRS criminal investigator Gary Shapley revealed that Weiss did not have the final say on whether charges would be filed. Another unidentified IRS whistleblower supported Shapley’s testimony, stating that Weiss had to go through political appointees to make any decisions. Furthermore, DOJ officials in DC and California allegedly blocked Weiss from bringing charges. This testimony directly contradicted Garland’s previous statements.

If these testimonies are accurate, it raises questions about Garland’s knowledge of the situation. His recent comment, where he expressed uncertainty about how anyone could block Weiss from bringing charges, suggests a detachment from reality. It is possible that Biden-appointed prosecutors influenced the investigation, causing Weiss to halt or seriously delay the prosecution. This scenario allows Garland to deny personal involvement while talking about Weiss’ supposed authority.

Garland also dodged questions about Weiss seeking special counsel status, claiming that Weiss never made the request directly to him. But did he make the request to one of Garland’s subordinates? Additionally, Weiss, at Garland’s request, wrote a letter to the House Judiciary Committee claiming ultimate authority over the investigation. However, this contradicts the whistleblowers’ testimonies and raises concerns about the letter’s true authorship.

During my questioning of Garland, he reassured me that the investigation was in the hands of a Trump appointee, implying its impartiality. However, recent revelations now cast doubt on whether Weiss truly had control over the investigation. Garland emphasized his commitment to an independent Justice Department free from White House influence in criminal matters. But if politics influenced the department’s actions, his commitment becomes meaningless.

Garland’s primary responsibility is to ensure that the Justice Department upholds justice. If the whistleblowers’ testimonies are true, then Garland could be complicit in a cover-up or negligent in addressing political interference. As a former judge, Garland understands that crimes of omission are still crimes. The investigators were appalled by the DOJ’s actions while knowing that Hunter Biden had made incriminating statements about using his father’s influence.

It is crucial to remember the gravity of the situation and why career investigators were alarmed. Hunter Biden’s texts to his Chinese business partner strongly suggested corrupt dealings and the potential use of his father’s position for personal gain. Within days of these messages, millions of dollars flowed into Hunter Biden’s bank accounts. This information demands a thorough investigation.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy has indicated that the House may initiate an investigation into these whistleblower allegations and assess whether Garland’s conduct merits impeachment. Congress is the only institution capable of getting to the truth and restoring faith in our institutions. Despite partisan tensions, most Americans still hold a desire for truth and equal justice.
