This seems big enough to displace the Supreme Court's decisions out of the top spot. In a letter, released on Friday night before a holiday, the day news goes to die, Delaware US Attorney Weiss sent a letter to Jim Jordon and the rest of the committee admitting that he had been ready to charge Hunter with multiple tax felonies in other jurisdictions, and had been told by the US Attorneys in those jurisdictions, Los Angeles and Washington D.C., that they would not allow him to press charges. John Solomon at JTN, Hunter Biden prosecutor refusing to cooperate with Congress, but adjusts earlier story. "David Weiss, the Delaware U.S. attorney, now admits it’s possible he contacted other federal prosecutors as whistleblowers allege."
But Weiss gave some new ground on a second key allegation by the whistleblowers: that more severe charges against Hunter Biden were blocked when Joe Biden-appointed federal prosecutors in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. declined requests to seek tax evasion indictments in their cities.
Weiss previously asserted in an earlier letter to Congress that he had been “granted ultimate authority” to decide what charges were brought against President Joe Biden’s son.
But he wrote in the new letter it was possible he contacted the other two prosecutors seeking their help on indictments because he was “geographically limited” on where he could file charges.
“I stand by what I wrote, and wish to expand on what this means,” Weiss wrote.
“As the U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware, my charging authority is geographically limited to my home district,” he added. “If venue for a case lies elsewhere, common Departmental practice is to contact the United States Attorney’s Office for the district in question and determine whether it wants to partner on the case. If not, I may request Special Attorney status from the Attorney General pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 515.
“Here, I have been assured that, if necessary after the above process, I would be granted § 515 Authority in the District of Columbia, the Central District of California, or any other district where charges could be brought in this matter.”
Shapley has told Congress and Just the News that after the Washington and Los Angeles prosecutors appointed by President Biden declined prosecution, the DOJ allowed the statute of limitations to expire on felony counts that would have charged Hunter Biden for evasion back to 2014 and on monies he received from a controversial Ukrainian oligarch’s firm.
So, did he not ask Garland for § 515 Authority, having seen the writing on the wall, or did he ask, and Merrick Garland denied it? 'Becca Downs at Town Hall, U.S. Attorney David Weiss' Response to Jim Jordan Is the Definition of a 'Friday News Dump'. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, Hunter prosecutor: IRS whistleblower is ... telling the truth? Insty cites Capt. Ed, ICYMI: CULTURE OF CORRUPTION: Hunter prosecutor: IRS whistleblower is … telling the truth?
"Note well that this letter from Weiss also rebuts a new effort from Hunter Biden attorney Abbe Lowell to claim that these aren’t actual whistleblowers and that their testimony is false. . . . The next step is to get Merrick Garland under oath in a House hearing and force him to testify as to what authority Weiss actually had, when Weiss applied for §515 status (if he ever did), and why Garland has lied about Weiss’ status to the public and to Congress for the last two years. It might take a grant of immunity to Garland aides to force the truth out of the Department of Justice for their attempt to bury the Biden influence-peddling scandal — and to see just how high up the deceit and corruption actually go. Note: Readers might recall Garland’s response last week came in the same press conference in which he claimed that questioning an AG or the DoJ is the same thing as undermining democracy. Now we can glimpse a reason for Garland’s panicked hyperbole; the whistleblowers are exposing the truth about Garland’s corrupt administration of the DoJ.”

But from the Free Bacon, Joe Biden Says He Wants To Crack Down on 'Privilege' in Education. He Once Called UPenn's President To Get His Granddaughter In.
