IRS agent asks for whistleblower protection in connection with Hunter Biden investigation

Prosecutors have considered three tax crimes and a charge related to a gun purchase against Hunter Biden, according to two sources familiar with the matter. An IRS special agent has asked Congress for whistleblower protection over a high-profile case, which a source familiar with the matter confirms is related to Biden. Biden’s lawyer said “it appears” the agent has “committed a crime” by sharing private tax information. NBC News’ Hallie Jackson reports.

No one should be above the law. If Hunter committed a crime, he should be prosecuted.

Like father like son, they’re both crooks & pathological liars!

It's never the crime! It's the cover up!

[alisonstewart]

I don't understand any of this? Why doesn't anyone wants to look into this? If information is true then we have the right to know. If not true then debunk it. Regardless of political beliefs it does matter to all citizens to know all the information available.

NBC is actually reporting this? Uh oh.

WH keeping an appropriate distance. Hunter was just on air force one with his father, you're isolated in the air with someone but you're not close to them???

When there's a cover-up, it usually means there's something to hide. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Garland and Joe are just as dirty as Hunter.

Does this mean we can get rid of everybody?

Hunter can't pass a criminal background check in order to purchase a firearm but he had access to top secret documents in Joes garage. This is just the beginning.

Question: "Mr. President, is there evidence of a cover up?". Answer: "I want vanilla with sprinklies".

The people who make the rules protect their own man what planted are we living kn 😂😂😂😂

Actual news being broadcasted from this government ran news agency is mind blowing. This poor whistle blower is going to need 24/7 security, the whistleblower is going to be clintoned, the next article will be he’s a Russian spy or he will of committed suicide with two gun shots to the back of the head.

Where is the law for the politicians who help the insurrection?

[mrbarahona]

All these rich connected type people no matter the political side always reap the benefits of being powerful and getting away with things that the average citizen can’t.

"The president believes in the rule of law" - Funny joke

Just like the game of Jenga... It all comes tumbling down 😊
