🧵1. Highlights from the 77-page report released today by the House Judiciary, Ways & Means, and Oversight Committee
2. Early examples of preferential treatment. Just to open a case and start investigating, there was a higher bar than for the average person.
By the time investigators were ready to start interviewing witnesses, President-elect Joe Biden's transition team got tipped off.
3. Delaware AUSA Lesley Wolf halts any logical investigative follow-ups that might lead to President Joe Biden.
4. Wolf also refuses to examine evidence developed by another U.S. Attorney's office or share it with the investigators.
Some unnamed FBI HQ fixer is helping her slow-walk the case and stifle normal communication and cooperation.
5. The unusual roadblocks have to be elevated to the Deputy Attorney General's office during the Trump admin.
The Delaware U.S. Attorneys Office conduct was *very* unusual.
6. Wolf blocks a valid search warrant for the Biden Delaware residence, a separate warrant for a storage unit, due to "optics."
But, optics is not hurdle to executing search warrants on average Americans.
7. Routine interviews were delayed or blocked by the unusual requirement for senior level approval from the DOJ Tax Division.
8. The statute of limitations on charges related to mischaracterizing Burisma income as "loans" was allowed to lapse.
Tax Division attorney admits to IRS WB Shapley that it's "not a typical case" b/c it involves its the President's son.
Weiss won't answer the obvious key Q.
9. DE AUSA Weiss didn't actually have the authority that AG Garland swore he had, until it was too late for the Burisma charges.
Special "Attorney" v. "Counsel" is a complicated, irrelevant semantic rabbit hole—even more than we knew.
10. Wasting time with Biden-appointed U.S. Attys.
11. Threatening the whistleblowers and the prosecutors.
12. Obstructing the Congressional probe.
