It turns out that Special Counsel David Weiss and the DOJ wasn’t even going to charge Hunter Biden with anything until the DOJ was publicly called out by whistleblowers.

That’s when Weiss decided to charge Hunter with tax crimes.

Here’s more via Daily Mail:

Special Counsel David Weiss – the top investigator into Hunter Biden’s criminal case – did not plan to charge the president’s son with any crimes until after two IRS whistleblowers came forward.

It was only until after the IRS agents accused the Department of Justice of improper influence in the federal investigation into Hunter that Weiss decided to charge Hunter with tax crimes, according to correspondence obtained by the New York Times.

Attorneys for the whistleblowers said that if it weren’t for their ‘courageous actions’ Hunter would never have been charged at all.

According to the New York Times, four years into Weiss’ five-year investigation, Weiss determined he did not have enough evidence to charge the president’s son.

During negotiations with Hunter’s lawyers earlier this year, Weiss reportedly was working on a deal where Hunter would not have to plead guilty to any charges at all – including misdemeanors.

At the same time, whistleblower Gary Shapley came forward and alleged that DOJ in Washington, D.C., and California had refused to indict Hunter due to ‘political pressures’ and the president’s son received ‘special treatment.’

And only a few days later, Weiss then changed his tune and wanted Hunter to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges, according to the New York Times.

That was the plan, until the deal blew up spectacularly in court last month.

Talk about a sweetheart deal. Hunter was going to get off scot free if it weren’t for these whistleblowers coming forward to Republicans in Congress. Amazing. I guess you could give the whistleblowers credit for blowing up the entire deal because if they hadn’t come forward, there wouldn’t be a trial coming up.
