Look, the hearings are still ongoing, and this is the House Judiciary Committee that is looking into whether the FBI and DOJ have been politicized and weaponized.
Some fireworks, Jim Jordan dressing down Merrick Garland over whistleblower claims.
Quote, you said he had complete authority, but he'd already been turned down.
I mean, it's a great point.
And I'm going to say it again, if necessary.
Merrick Garland losing his patience in a pretty testy exchange with Dan Bishop, North Carolina Republican congressman, you know, as they battled over who it was that decided when it was time for David Weiss to be appointed special counsel.
Now, just some background.
David Weiss has been investigating this for five years.
I've gone over this in great specificity and detail.
That plan one, we now know he, after five years, the original plan was not to charge Hunter with anything.
That got changed when the IRS whistleblowers came out.
That resulted in Plan B. Plan B was simple, that they would come up with the sweetheart deal with the immunity provision buried deep inside the plea agreement and its gun diversion provision in that contract.
Well, that didn't work out well because the judge in Delaware actually asked the prosecutors, have you ever seen a deal like this before?
No, never.
We never did.
Then why are you giving them one now?
And are you planning to continue investigating or not?
And the oh, yeah, no, we're continuing.
Okay, at that point, that meant that provision's gone.
That blew up in their face.
And the judge, thankfully, read the document, didn't just rubber stamp it.
And that resulted in Plan C, which was indicting Hunter Biden.
But again, not on fairer charges, not on anything involving his lack of experience and tens of millions of dollars, 170 suspicious activity reports.
You know, by the way, those are banks informing the criminal division of our justice, of our Treasury Department, when they see monies that seem just completely out of whack and inappropriate and it needs investigation.
The Attorney General Garland says he doesn't remember speaking with the FBI about the Hunter probe.
Really?
I have a hard time believing that.
You know, Democrats got all teed off and you're badgering the witness.
You're badgering the witness.
Garland lost his temper at House Republicans over allegations of religious discrimination.
I guess that never happened either.
I guess the FBI never targeted, you know, tiger moms like Linda.
But, you know, it's all getting very, very interesting to me.
House Republican accused Garland of actual perjury on the issue of the Ray Epps issue.
Then he got indicted this week.
I don't even know who this guy really is, but anyway, that came up.
Anyway, so, you know, let me just play a little bit of this.
I think it's worthwhile.
There's other things I'll tell you about.
Jordan slamming David Weiss's handling of the whole investigation.
Five years, this is what they've got.
They was going to offer, you know, no charges at all until the whistleblowers showed up.
Jordan referred to the whistleblowers often.
Garland asked, well, are you saying that they're lying?
No, they just have a very different opinion on the issue.
Okay, there's a good answer.
Jordan criticizing the appointment of Jack Smith in the Trump classified document case.
Well, can anyone explain why Hillary Clinton, no reasonable prosecutor, would prosecute?
Why didn't they invade Chappaqua?
In other words, why didn't they raid that location or Hillary's offices?
Why did they just say she had more top secret classified information than they found with Trump?
You know, how is it she deleted 33,000 emails and that's not obstruction?
How is it that the four locations, Joe Biden, had top secret classified information?
How is it none of those locations ever got raided by the FBI?
Why the double standard?
So, you know, it's then we have Merrick Garland, you know, we don't have a two-tier justice system.
Those are only words.
DOJ doesn't do what's politically convenient.
On the issue of Weiss, he's just denied, well, Weiss said to Jim Jordan that he didn't, that he had the authority.
And then he said just the opposite to Lindsey Graham in letters that he sent out.
Well, what is it?
And why is it that the one guy that had said that, remember, in contemporaneous notes taken by IRS whistleblowers at the time, they were very, very clear in spelling out that, in fact, David Weiss told them that he did not have the authority to go into the jurisdictions, which not only contradicted his own words, but contradicted Merrick Garland's words.
But he doesn't recall Merrick Garland telling Representative Johnson that he doesn't recall if he's contacted anyone at FBI headquarters about the Hunter investigation.
I promised I wouldn't interfere.
Okay, did he have to sign off on the charges with Hunter Biden?
I would think that's part of his role.
Anyway, then Merrick Garland testifying that he won't discuss any discussions that he's had with Weiss.
He pledged not to interfere.
Okay, well, why not?
What part of that can't you share?
Did you know that the original plan was not to charge Hunter?
Did you know that the plea agreement had buried deep within the gun, you know, the gun provision, diversion provision, total immunity from prosecution moving further with all things Hunter Biden?
Do you have any comment about that?
Something that the judge got out of the prosecution they'd never seen before.
He won't answer Johnson's questions about why the Hunter investigation took five years.
I promise not to interfere.
Oh, you get to have investigations in perpetuity and allow statute of limitations to run by.
Garland doesn't give an answer to the question if his office is looking into the whistleblower complaints.
How many times did I tell you to expect this?
We're not allowed to comment on an ongoing investigation.
You know, he repeats to Dan Bishop that David Weiss knew he had the authority to bring up whatever charges he wanted in the case.
But why did he write that?
Write one thing to Jim Jordan and another thing contradicting it to Senator Lindsey Graham.
You know, he said that Bishops, you know, testifies that Bishop Weiss has not said if he was deterred in the Hunter case.
Really?
Well, he said, according to the whistleblower, you call him the whistleblowers a liar?
No, no, I'm not saying that.
It might just be a little different opinion.
Is that what we call that?
Back to Jim Jordan confronting Garland over differing statements on David Weiss's authority, talking specifically about what was sent in a letter to him and one that was sent to Lindsey Graham.
Jim Jordan gave four facts why it's important that the statute of limitations were allowed to expire for Hunter for 2014 and 15.
And, you know, why did they allow that to happen?
You can extend the statute of limitations or you could just charge them before they run out.
It was significant amounts of money.
I think that just basically backs up what the FBI informant and the IRS whistleblowers had to say, the FBI whistleblower and the IRS whistleblowers.
You know, why did they let the statute of limitations lapse for the tax years that involved Burisma income?
Don't forget we have the 1023 form.
On that 1023 form, what do we have?
We have a very well-respected, trusted IRS, I'm sorry, FBI informant meeting with the CEO of Burisma and quoting the CEO as saying, yeah, I didn't want to have to pay the Bidens, but I gave $5 million to one Biden, $5 million to another Biden, and it'll take 10 years to find the money.
And then you do the timeline.
It was official Obama administration policy to give Ukraine the billion in loan guarantees that Joe leveraged.
That was in October of 2015.
Joe got on the phone with Hunter and Burisma executives, who at the time we know were desperate for D.C. help.
He's in Dubai with the Burisma executives.
Hunter is.
They call Joey back home.
Five days later, he goes to Ukraine, gives him six hours to fire the prosecutor.
Are they not getting the billion in loan guarantees?
Son of a bee, they fire him.
And as a result of that, Hunter continues to get paid for a job he has absolutely no experience in at a time where he admits he has an addiction problem, a massive addiction problem.
Jordan tells Garland that Hunter investigations were slow-walked and statute of limitations lapsed because of Burisma and the Joe Biden connection.
I think that pretty much sums it up from my perspective.
You know, why did they let the statute of limitations lapse in this case, especially during the Burisma years?
That'd be a pretty critical part of the investigation.
You know, by the way, why the 170 suspicious activity reports?
What about the many show corporations that have identified?
What did the Biden family members, that James Comer says, nine of which benefited from this?
He said over 20 million.
Nancy Mace on this radio program said it's going to go north of 50 million for the Bidens alone.
I asked Jim Comer about that last night and he said, yeah, I believe it's going to be that number and higher.
Matt Gates got into it, asking Garland, has anyone told Joe Biden to knock it off with Hunter?
Gates asked, Garland doesn't answer if people who are buying Hunter's art are trying to gain access.
I think that's a pretty simple question.
Gates asked, doesn't anyone, doesn't answer if he's confident that Hunter had stopped selling access?
Gates asked Garland why he dissolved Trump's China initiative.
Gates asked Garland, you know, you know, who doesn't answer the question about Rob Walker Shell corporations and accuses him of looking the other way.
Well, let me play Jim Jordan first.
The fix is in.
Even with the face-saving indictment last week of Hunter Biden, everyone knows the fix is in.
Four and a half years.
Four and a half years, the Department of Justice has been investigating Mr. Biden, an investigation run by David Weiss, an investigation that limited the number of witnesses agents could interview.
An investigation that prohibited agents from referring to the president as the, quote, big guy in any of the interviews they did get to do.
An investigation that curtailed attempts to interview Mr. Biden by giving the Transits Team Secretary a heads up.
An investigation that notified Mr. Biden's defense counsel about a pending search warrant.
An investigation run by Mr. Weiss, run by Mr. Weiss, where they told the Congress three different stories in 33 days.
They told this committee on June 7th, David Weiss said, I have ultimate authority to determine when, where, and whether to bring charges.
23 days later, June 30th, he told this committee, actually, I can only bring charges in my U.S. Attorney's District, the District of Delaware.
And then to further confuse matters, on July 10th, he told Senator Graham, I have not sought special counsel status.
Rather, I've had discussions with the Department of Justice.
An investigation run by Mr. Weiss that negotiated a plea deal that the federal district court declined to accept.
A plea deal so ridiculous, the judge asked this question.
Quote, is there any precedence for agreeing not to prosecute crimes that have nothing to do with the charges being diverted?
The response from the DOJ lawyer, I'm not aware of any, Your Honor.
A plea deal so ridiculous that the judge also asked, have you ever seen a diversion agreement where the agreement not to prosecute was so broad that it encompasses crimes in a different case?
The response from the DOJ lawyer, no, Your Honor, we haven't.
An investigation run by Mr. Weiss that not only had a sweetheart deal rejected, but according to the New York Times, there was an even sweeter deal, an earlier deal, a deal in which Mr. Biden would not have to plead guilty to anything.
You know why they did it.
Everyone knows why they did it.
May not say it, but everyone knows why they did it.
Those tax shears, that dealt with the pres, that involved the president.
It's one thing to have a gun charge in Delaware.
That doesn't involve the president of the United States.
But Barisma, oh my, that goes right to the White House.
We can't have that.
And we can slow walk this thing along.
We can even extend the statute limitations and then we can intentionally let it lapse.
And we know this investigation was slow.
Here's what everyone said.
Shapley said, DOJ slow walked the investigation.
Ziegler, slow walking and the approvals of everything.
This happened at the Delaware's attorney's office and DOJ tax level.
Mr. Sobosinsky, the FBI agent, said, I would have liked to see things move faster.
Ms. Holly said the same.
Every witness we've talked to said this thing was slow walked and we know why.
And he's right on every level.

Our number is 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Maybe you notice that the Fed didn't really react to the two months in a row of increasing inflation.
Add to that now the price of gasoline now just shy of four bucks a gallon over $6 a gallon average out in California.
Isn't that great?
Can't wait for that to come near you.
Don't forget there's always a lag as the price of a barrel of oil goes up.
It takes about 60 days to feel the full impact of what gas prices are going to be.
That means to heat your home, cool your home, fill your gas tank.
Every item you buy, every store you go to, you have to pay more for everything.
Some of you may have been lulled into this idea that things are okay with the economy.
Bidenomics is working.
The big lie.
Well, we had bank failures.
Well, that may be behind a stock market.
All right, it's not doing too bad.
Here's what you're not being told.
Yeah, inflation is coming back roaring back.
And number two, commercial real estate could ignite the next banking crisis.
Look, inflation going up, skyrocketing payments on our national debt now exceeding 33 trillion for the first time in our history by a long shot.
$2 trillion in new debt under Biden this year alone.
Anyway, what does this mean for your retirement savings?
Are you thinking about it?
Ever since I was finally able to save some money, I started small.
I took a small portion of my portfolio.
I wouldn't even call it a portfolio at that time in my life.
But I always, you know, I got silver and I got gold.
And you know what?
I recently got a shipment from Goldco because I've done my research.
This is a top-rated company with an excellent reputation.
And I'm speaking from my own personal experience here because I keep doing it today.
I've never regretted that decision.
Now, if, and I'm just always putting a small portion of my savings into gold.
I've done my research.
You're going to love Goldco, top-rated company.
Right now, if you call them 855-815-GOLD, you're going to get a free wealth protection kit up to $10,000.
You'll have a chance in free silver just because you're a listener to the show.
So you may want to do it now.
855-815-G-O-L-D.
All right, Goldco.
Good people.
Really, you know what?
They were very, very, I got exactly what I wanted.
And I was very happy with it.
Anyway, 800-941-Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
I told you yesterday about the shifting narrative of the Biden.
I'd ever spoke to Hunter, my brother, or anybody.
Not a single time.
Nobody for that matter.
Okay, then that became out of nowhere.
The White House, you know, at the podium, they just started telling us, oh, no, no, Joe was never in business with his son.
Very different than I never spoke to my son or my brother or anybody for that matter.
Very different.
Then it now has evolved into Hunter Biden's attorney saying that the first son, Hunter, did not share his business or his profits with his father, marking another massive shift in what the narrative is.
Listen.
Can you categorically say that the president of the United States was not involved in those business dealings and did not profit from any of them?
What I can say categorically is that the president has spoken to this issue and his spokespeople have and they're the best people to do that.
From our side of the equation, I can tell you that Hunter did not share his business with his dad.
I can tell you that he did not share money from his businesses with his dad.
And as the evidence out there, his dad, like all good parents, tried to help Hunter when Hunter needed that help.
And if the facts matter, you can take a poll last week.
You can take a poll next week.
But when the facts come out, and I hope they do, they will see, whoever has made that allegation, that it is baseless.
But it does show you, if the Republicans yell loud enough, at some point it actually cracks through and people believe it.
Well, let me ask, by the way, Hunter does have a great attorney.
I've said this before.
Pay attention.
Abby Lowe.
Abby Lowe got off John Edwards.
He got off Senator Menendez.
Not easy trials, tasks, but he did it.
He's really good at his job.
There's a reason that he himself changed the narrative on this.
There's always a reason behind anything this guy's going to do.
He's that smart.
And I do have respect for him, a lot of respect for him.
However, you know, notice the very careful shift here.
He's not going into the fact that Joe has changed his story two previous times.
And this is now the third evolution of this story, which I think is key.
You know, are you telling me you want to say something or are you just looking in your microphone?
I am listening intently.
So the White House, Hunter Biden's team, they shift the goalposts and they change the narrative.
But I would say there's obviously legal reasons behind it.
And anyway, so this is all going to come out in time.
Where they're going to run into problems is what we already know.
And Nancy May said she thinks the Bidens alone combined north of $50 million for the Biden family.
You know, why the 170 suspicious activity reports?
Why the Shell corporations?
How did nine Biden family members get paid, according to James Comer?
What did they all do?
What did the grandchildren do for this money?
How is it that Hunter, struggling personally, if he's clean, I wish him the best.
I don't wish that on anybody.
Okay, fair enough.
However, he admitted he was addicted at that time in his life, heavily addicted to drugs for many, many, many years during this time period, this time frame.
And he admitted on Good Morning America, no experience in energy, oil, gas, coal.
Then it raises the question, well, what did he do for the money?
You know, well, he gave a partial answer on Good Morning America.
Well, why do you think that they gave you all this money with no experience?
I don't know.
That was his first answer.
I don't know.
And then the ABC Good Morning America interviewer, I don't know who it was, I think it might have been Amy Roebach, said, you know, well, okay, you have no experience.
Why did they pay you all this money?
And do you think maybe it had to do with your daddy being the vice president in charge of Ukrainian policy?
You know, I mean, I'll play it for you again.
This is priceless.
This is the dumbest interview I think a 50-year-old has ever given in history.
In the list that you gave me of the reasons why you're on that board, you did not list the fact that you were the son of the vice president.
Of course.
Yeah, no.
What role do you think that played?
I think that it is impossible for me to be on any of the boards that I just mentioned without saying that I'm the son of the vice president of the United States.
You were paid $50,000 a month for your position?
Look, I'm a private citizen.
One thing that I don't have to do is sit here and open my kimono as it relates to how much money I make or make or did or didn't.
But it's all been reported.
If your last name wasn't Biden, do you think you would have been asked to be on the board of Burisma?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Probably not.
I don't think that there's a lot of things that would have happened in my life if my last name wasn't Biden.
Oh.
So why did he get so lucky?
Why did all the other Biden family members?
What did the grandkids do for the money?
He obviously didn't have much to say.
By the way, just in Fed pausing rate hikes, markets drop after Powell says soft landing isn't guaranteed.
Well, I think that was pretty evident by the two months in a row that inflation has started to rise again.
And I think with the price of gasoline, that's a pretty good indicator.
Inflation is heating up.
So they'll play catch-up again.
This was a political move.
And I don't know what they're going to do during an election year.
Let me go back to today's hearings with Merrick Garland for just a minute.
Let me play Congressman Representative Jeff Van Drew talking with Merrick Garland, saying the DOJ acted like part of the Democratic Party.
But let me, instead of playing that one, I'd rather play when he asked Garland if traditional Catholics are violent extremists.
Finally, Garland said no.
Attorney General, I need a simple yes or no to the following, just yes or no, because we don't have much time.
Do you agree that traditional Catholics are violent extremists?
Yes or no?
Let me answer what you've said in that long list of those.
Attorney General, I control the time.
I'm going to ask you to answer the questions I have.
You have controlled time by asking me a substantial number of things.
I didn't ask you those things.
I'm just asking the Attorney General through the chair.
I ask you, do you agree that traditional Catholics are violent extremists?
I have no idea what the traditional means here.
Let me just go to church.
May I answer your question?
The idea that someone with my family background would discriminate against any religion is so outrageous.
It's so absurd.
Mr. Attorney General, it was your FBI that did this.
It was your FBI that was sending, and we have the memos, we have the emails, we're sending undercover agents into Catholic churches.
Both I and the director of the FBI have said that we were appalled have said that we were appalled by that memo.
So then you agree that they're not extremists.
We were appalled by that memo.
Are they extremists or not, Attorney General?
I think that.
Are they extremists or not, Attorney General?
Are they extremists or not?
I'm asking a simple question.
Say no if you think that was wrong.
No.
Well, finally, I mean, it was nice to finally get an answer there.
That was very nice of him to finally answer, you know, after he wasted all that time.
So, justthenews.com, John Solomon.
He'll be on Hannity tonight.
Newly discovered inquiry after the 2020 election into the payment of Hunter Biden's overdue taxes by a lawyer.
But like every other investigative avenue, there was obstruction by prosecutors.
Here we go again.
You see a pattern emerging here?
Weaponization, how they politicize the FBI, the DOJ, the FBI, and the IRS probed allegations of Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign.
Now, they may have benefited from campaign finance criminal violations.
In other words, oh, you take away the issue of Hunter Biden not paying his taxes and have some sugar daddy pay the way for Hunter.
Boy, that certainly takes away a lot of problems for you in a campaign.
Is that a campaign donation?
Anyway, this previously unreported campaign finance inquiry was first alluded to in a transcript in interviews with House investigators and two IRS whistleblowers and the retired FBI supervisor whistleblower.
And allegations have since been augmented in recent weeks by new evidence uncovered by the House Ways and Means Committee, the Judiciary Committee, and the House Oversight Committee.
That evidence includes a case summary memo written by an IRS supervisory criminal investigative agent, the guy named Gary Shapley.
Remember him?
To his bosses, in which he alleged that Leslie Wolfe, a top prosecutor in the Hunter Biden case inside of Delaware with U.S. Attorney David Weiss's office, waived agents off the campaign finance case.
Just like the FBI waved off, you know, pulled it back from their questioning that they were going to have of Hunter Biden.
Surprise questioning.
Just like every other thing happened here.
This investigation had been hampered and slowed by claims of potential meddling.
The IRS whistleblower Shapley wrote in the memo, according to his now public transcribed interview with the House Ways and Means Committee, where he read verbatim a passage from the memo.
Through interviews and review of evidence obtained, it appears there may be campaign finance criminal violations.
Wow.
Wolf stated that the last prosecution team meeting that she did not want any of the agents looking into the allegation.
Well, would they do that if it was Donald Trump?
Is that a hard question to answer?
By the way, Hunter will now plead not guilty to federal gun charges.
What a shock.
By the way, I wonder if the Hunter, have we ever gotten a copy of the Hunter Biden mugshot?
They take a mugshot of him.
Do we even know?
They did, didn't they?
We got Trump's pretty quick.
When did we get his?
Trump had that little scowl.
Looked mean.
Like tough.
I didn't think he looked mean.
I thought he looked good.
He looked like a boss.
I got a kick out of like reading, oh, this person says, oh, now he has street cred.
No, did you see the money?
He's selling them.
He's signing them.
It's hilarious.
It's amazing.
So, oh, and by the way, the DHS's name, get this.
James Clapper and John Brennan to Intelligence Experts Panel.
Great.
Bring back the band.
That's what we need.
Unreal.
Now we also have House Republicans now set a date for their first Biden impeachment hearing.
Mark your calendars, nine days from today.
Joe Biden will become the first president in American history to face an impeachment inquiry that is based on mounting evidence involving bribery, money laundering, allegations.
Ouch.
That would be Constitutional Article 2, Section 4.
The President, Vice President, all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for conviction of treason, bribery, other high crimes, and misdemeanors.
Democrats are flipping out over this.
In big time, they're flipping out over this.
Anyway, we got Byron Donalds coming up today.
We're also going to check in with all things simple man Bill O'Reilly today and much more.
Hey, you know, if you're in business with companies, by the way, you know a company that's really looking out for you when they will actually upgrade your service and not charge you a penny for it.
How many companies offer that deal today?
Not many.
By the way, great news for current and if you're soon to be a Pure Talk customer.
PureTalk just added data to every plan, and that includes mobile hotspot to every plan.
No, not even a penny increase in price.
So if you haven't made the transition, now's the time.

You know, a lot has been made.
We have four people on tape saying that in the days before January 6th, that Donald Trump had a meeting in the Oval Office.
And four of the five people in that meeting, I have on tape saying that Donald Trump said, do we need guard troops?
And that he authorized them.
Trump said it.
His chief of staff, Mark Meadows, said it.
