Looks like The NY Times confirms that Weis didn’t have final charging authority like the whistleblower claimed contradicting AG Garland. They just buried it in the 21st paragraph
IRS whistleblower
- Thread starter herdfan429
- Start date
And immediately following that^^^, we get this...
While Mr. Weiss had the authority to pursue leads that led to jurisdictions other than his own in Delaware, the department’s practices dictated that he secure the approval and cooperation of the U.S. attorneys in those districts before proceeding.
If Mr. Weiss wanted to move ahead without their approval, he could have brought the issue to Mr. Garland’s attention, and the attorney general could then appoint him “special attorney,” which would allow him to bypass the standard chain of command. There is no indication that Mr. Weiss appealed for help from Mr. Garland or his top deputies — or that he even communicated about the case with anyone in leadership beyond the department’s top career official at headquarters.

He did bring it to garlands attention according to the whistleblower asking for special counsel authority. And garland is on record saying that Weiss had total authority to charge without influence. That is false period based off of everything known currently.
And honest question how do you square the whatsapp threatening message to the Chinese and then the $5 million deposit a couple days later?
You're asking a HS dropout to think critically. CNN isn't reporting this. His inbred mind says.... "It did not happen".
And that ^^^ is contradictory to Weiss's statement
Weiss had told the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee earlier this month that “I have been granted ultimate authority over this matter, including responsibility for deciding where, when, and whether to file charges.”
Weiss says he has ultimate authority to prosecute. Whistleblower says no ny times confirms whistleblower and you ask how Weiss lied?
Doesn't that mean the judge presiding over the Hunter Fried Egg Biden case should kick out the plea deal? Wouldn't that be the legal and correct thing to do?
NYT didn't confirm what you think. They confirmed the second whistleblower told the same story.
Which is that they were blocked from being able to prosecute, and that the AG lied under oath. You, as the peoples moderator understood this but poor greed had amnesia
^^^idiots can't read something without injecting a conspiracy.
In addition to Shapely, the NY Times is claiming they've independently confirmed from another IRS official that Garland's camp did push back in LA & DC against pursuing charges.
“A similar request to prosecutors in the Central District of California, which includes Los Angeles, was also rejected, Mr. Shapley testified. A second former I.R.S. official, who has not been identified, told House Republicans the same story. That episode was confirmed independently to The New York Times by a person with knowledge of the situation.”
Even if you give Hunter the benefit of the doubt, that he's just a well loved son with a massive crack problem & can't be held responsible for extortion, why is he not a registered foreign agent? It's not a trivial matter.
What has been confirmed is this: "A second former I.R.S. official, who has not been identified, told House Republicans the same story." Nothing more.
Why do you take every accusation against Trump as gospel whether evidence has been presented or not, yet defend Biden in the case of overwhelming evidence? The case that the FBI and DOJ colluded to protect Hunter Biden is significantly stronger than either impeachment attempt against Trump.
There is no evidence that joe Biden has committed a crime. Hunter Biden is a different story. The rest of your post is a lie.
There was no evidence trump colluded with Russia either but we all know your stance on that one
the walls are closing in, even some of the lib press and dems are taking notice.

Before they started the investigation, moron. Comey knew that the "russian intelligence" was cooked up by Hillary.
Despite your repeated attempts to gloss over this, the existence in fact of dozens of shell corporations, the text messages and other correspondence, and witness testimony is absolutely "evidence" under the law.
Now, can you argue the implications of this evidence, or what reasonable inferences can be drawn? Sure. But to keep saying it isn't "evidence" doesn't erase the absolute fact that it certainly is.
No. You're just a moron and a rube.

Comey’s reluctance was earlier on display when he refused to answer Senator Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) question on the Steele dossier. Perhaps Comey does not want to respond to the Washington Post’s claim that the FBI offered to pay Steele to continue his work. Meanwhile, the dossier’s purported author, ex M15 agent Christopher Steele, is allegedly in hiding and is conveniently unavailable for questions.
Steele’s research was commissioned by Fusion GPS, a DC opposition research firm. Fusion has refused bi-partisan Senate requests for information concerning “violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act by working on behalf of Russian principals…” Steele’s sources have also come under challenge. Did Russia manipulate Steele with fabricated Kremlin gossip designed to discredit Trump and then use its “foreign agent,” Fusion, to disseminate the results? If so, we have a real RussiaGate scandal, only this time it is directed against Trump.
The Steele dossier is the essential glue that gives Trump the motive (avoiding blackmail) to collude with the Russian state. Without it, the collusion narrative collapses. It could just as well be a Russian anti-Trump fabrication. The false Times piece discredits leaked accounts of Trump associate contacts with Russian intelligence.
Guys, just because the DOJ & numerous intelligence officials have been shown to engage in extremely questionable political tactics against American politicians they want removed, while stonewalling or shutting down investigations into the Biden family, it doesn't imply any wrongdoing - in fact, it implies Joe Biden loves his son very much & you're all bigots for using a modicum of common sense thinking there's obviously more to all this.
