In a letter to Merrick Garland and David Weiss, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith made it crystal clear how absolutely crucial it is that the judge signing off on Hunter Biden’s plea deal have all of the facts. He wrote it all up and asked nicely for the guy who really runs this country to please forward it to the judge.
Letter from the IRS
House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith didn’t phrase things nearly as forcefully as he wanted to in the letter he wrote to Merrick Garland. He’s a professional. He copied in U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who’s basically useless to start with.
If he had done his job in the first place, there wouldn’t be any need to write. Weiss swears up and down he could have pressed charges, if he wanted to. He didn’t want to.
Weiss didn’t want to charge the demon-spawn of Joe Biden with anything leading to prison, and especially nothing that also involves Joe personally as a co-defendant. Things like bribery, money laundering, and tax-evasion. As well as compromising national security by accepting money from America’s enemies. None of those things caught his attention, so the supervisor and one of his fellow investigators blew the whistle to Ways and Means. That’s what the letter is about.

Investigators working the case were steamed because they weren’t allowed to even look at the laptop and knew Hunter was writing hookers off on his taxes. Those are only a couple of the crimes they knew of and documented which were ignored and actually covered up.
As Chairman Smith writes, “Over the course of a single week in June, the existence of a plea agreement in this matter became public, a plea hearing was scheduled, and the Committee submitted whistleblower testimony to the full House.” That’s just background.
“Given the abruptness of the plea agreement announcement shortly after it became public that whistleblowers made disclosures to Congress, the seriousness of the whistleblower allegations, and the fact that multiple congressional investigations into the matter are ongoing, we ask that you file this letter and the attached information in the docket.”
Make it part of the file
That’s a literal slap in the face to Weiss and it’s meant to wake up Garland. “Placing the attached materials into the record is critical because the testimony provided by the two IRS whistleblowers brings new and compelling facts to light.” There are things in the letter “essential for the Judge in this matter to have.” BEFORE she signs off on the deal.
If it is in the record and she approves the sweetheart deal of the century without doing something about the allegations it contains, that will be automatic grounds for appeal.
Smith goes out of his way to convince the judge in his letter that there are lots of previous examples in the law to rely on.

Judges, Smith writes, “have rejected plea agreements for a variety of reasons, including situations where the judge finds that such deals were inadequate or deficient given the crimes committed or the motivation of the accused, or the plea deal was not in the best interest of the country.”
After all the crimes involving both Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, along with half the Biden family, that Congress has hard evidence of, coupled with what the IRS whistleblowers have to say, letting Hunter off with probation and drug diversion is ridiculous.
The letter points out that anyone else would have received much stiffer penalties for the same crimes. Even if no other known Hunter Biden crimes were charged.
