🧵1. Highlights from the 77-page report released today by the House Judiciary, Ways & Means, and Oversight Committee
Image
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.
Image
Image
3. Delaware AUSA Lesley Wolf halts any logical investigative follow-ups that might lead to President Joe Biden.
Image
Image
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.
Image
Image
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.

Image
Image
Image
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.
Image
Image
7. Routine interviews were delayed or blocked by the unusual requirement for senior level approval from the DOJ Tax Division.

Image
Image
Image
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.

Image
Image
Image
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.
Image
Image
10. Wasting time with Biden-appointed U.S. Attys.
Image
Image
11. Threatening the whistleblowers and the prosecutors.
Image
Image
12. Obstructing the Congressional probe.

🆕 Filing on behalf of FBI whistleblower @GOBactual, seeking full restoration of his security clearance. Highlights: 🧵⬇️ Image
We outline 18 legally protected whistleblower disclosures @GOBactual made.

Many were to Congress and already got lots of public attention. But look at #17.

It was an internal report, not on a high-profile politically charged issue.

But was it the catalyst for what came next? Image
@GOBactual An ambush criminal interview, followed by stranding his family without their belongings and blowing up his life in the middle of a cross country move?

This feels like more than just typical FBI CYA on something politically embarrassing.

This feels personal. Image

🚨New 83-page Filing at the @USMSPB

How about some justice for the IRS Whistleblowers at long last? 🧵⬇️ Image
Proven high performers before they blew the whistle on the @TheJusticeDept taking a dive in the Hunter Biden case.

Everything changed. Isolated. Frozen out of career advancement. Scrutinized relentlessly, looking for anything to hang them with. Work life became hell. Image
The double standard was there from the very beginning. Just to open the case, the bar was higher "for a political family like" the Bidens.

The protected disclosures internally within the IRS started from the very beginning too. Image

The FBI's recent pearl-clutching "purge" narrative is bizarro world backwards. Its purge targeted our clients long ago, and they still suffer.

When you know their stories, holding the culprits accountable is no purge; it's a little overdue justice.

3/🧵Don't just take our word for it. We provided ample evidence to Congress about weaponization of the security clearance process to target the employees for political beliefs rather than legit security risks. The @JusticeOIG has testified about it. Image

Nor does the constitution or any statute say anything restricting “political appointees” from accessing information about the operations of an agency.
Permanent bureaucrats have zero authority to hide information about the operation of their agencies/how they spent taxpayer money from officials acting on behalf of any duly elected president or congress.

That’s a clear neutral principle that should be obvious to all.
This is not about the balance of power between Congress and the President. Both have democratic legitimacy in our constitutional republic.

It is about the imbalance of power between career bureaucrats and our elected leaders in the two politically accountable branches.

Look who just got vindicated. Again. The IRS whistleblowers, who:

1. Got the search warrant that authenticated the Hunter Biden Laptop *before* the 51 former intel officials lied about it.

2. Reported the Garland DOJ to Congress for taking a dive. 🧵⬇️ Image
After 20 long months, the staff at @US_OSC told us that the IRS could not support its decision to remove IRS SSA Gary Shapley and SA Joe Ziegler from the Hunter Biden case.

That removal happend, of course, shortly after the IRS learned that they were blowing the whistle to Congress.Image
Their work life has been changed ever since. Look how far the IRS management will go.

One recently altered the date on document to hide slow walking on another ongoing law enforcement operation, apparently trying to falsely paint Shapley in a bad light.

One of many examples. Image

What are Senators Schiff and Booker hiding?

They seemed to think they knew of something damning in Patel’s secret grand jury testimony but their questioning was incoherent.

Did Jack Smith’s prosecutors feed the Senators some half-baked smear that they failed to land?

Bizarre.
I can tell you from personal experience—nothing chaps the hide of a Member of Congress or VIP more than being exposed as a fool by a lowly staffer.

Kash Patel did that to Schiff spectacularly when working for Nunes on House Intel

Schiff is obviously never going to get over it.
