S E E D E D C O N T E N T
The IRS has removed the "entire investigative team" from its multi-year tax fraud investigation of Hunter Biden, and a whistleblower who raised concerns about the handling of the case is claiming the move was "clearly retaliatory," according to a Monday report.
Per The New York Post, the whistleblower's attorneys told Congress that the removal was on the order of the Department of Justice.

"Today the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress.
"He was informed the change was at the request of the Department of Justice," attorneys Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt wrote.

Why the hell not!
They can do whatever they want and get away with it!
Of course.
there's no crime or corrupt act that will bother a progressive if it benefits the democrats.
And as one of our members recently pointed out: it is not a crime to be unethical or incompetent.
That was done to keep them from finding anything
Or to just extend the timeline? If a new team comes in to take over, will they start from scratch?
A few years of Hunter Biden's taxer were filed late, are paid in full now, were investigated and were accepted by the IRS as complete. Just the same as millions of American's are...
There is nothing left here for the IRS to continue.
Joe Biden's taxes are public going back 30 years!
Yeah, a donor gave him millions to repay the IRS
That's not a defense against the crime.
Crime? The case was closed. "Case Closed"
Convenience?
The US Attorney in Delaware closed the case? Provide proof.
ee if the gun control happy Democrats prosecute Hunter for his lies when obtaining a gun while being an addict since guns are so bad!
Since gun laws don't apply to anyone in areas governed by Democrats, he'll probably walk.
