BOMBSHELL Report Spells Trouble For Biden, DOJ EXPOSED For Colluding With David Weiss' Probe Into Hunter

A report released Monday exposed a disturbing level of collusion and intervention between the Biden Department of Justice and Special Counsel David Weiss against congressional oversight into the Hunter Biden investigation.

Documents obtained by investigators at The Heritage Foundation via a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit and reported by The Federalist have shown that the Biden DOJ repeatedly intervened on behalf of then-Delaware U.S. Attorney Weiss regarding his responses to congressional inquiries. The new report casts Weiss' June 7th letter to House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH), wherein he assured the House of his "ultimate authority" to charge Hunter or not as potentially misleading.

According to the outlet citing emails exposed by Heritage, Weiss asked one of his lead assistant U.S. attorneys, Shannon Hansen, if the DOJ's Office of Legislative Affairs answered a May 9, 2022, letter from Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) requesting information about the Hunter Biden investigation. Hanson reportedly replied, "Not to my knowledge." This was followed by another email reporting to Weiss that then-deputy assistant attorney general in the Office of Legislative Affairs Joe Gaeta was drafting a response. 

As The Federalist pointed out, 

"Although Grassley and Johnson had addressed their May 9, 2022, inquiry solely to Weiss, DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs would intercede on his behalf, responding in a letter dated June 9, 2022, that the DOJ would not respond to the questions posed."

After a month, the senators drafted another letter to Weiss copying Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray. Once again the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel stepped in and told Weiss' office in an email cited by The Federalist not to respond and that it would instead “take the lead on drafting a response.” This is all from the first batch of emails with more to come, according to The Heritage Foundation. The evidence already seems to establish that the Biden DOJ was effectively micro-managing the responses to Congress from the Delaware U.S. Attorney's Office in the Hunter Biden case.

Heritage Foundation Oversight Project Director Mike Howell, who initiated the FOIA request and subsequently filed a lawsuit to force the DOJ's compliance, told The Federalist that the emails released demonstrate that AG Merrick Garlan, despite his claims to Congress that Weiss had the independence to bring charges as he saw fit was "simultaneously running communications from Weiss to Grassley through the political controls of Main Justice.” Howell called it "a slap in the face."

On June 7th, Weiss answered an inquiry from Congress that was sent to Garland. He told the congressmen, "Your May 25th letter to Attorney General Garland was forwarded to me, with a request that I respond on behalf of the Department.” Weiss then claimed that, as Garland had stated, the Delaware U.S. attorney had “been granted ultimate authority over this matter, including responsibility for deciding where, when, and whether to file charges and for making decisions necessary to preserve the integrity of the prosecution…" 

However, based on the information revealed by The Heritage Foundation and The Federalist, what possible credibility can Weiss have? If he didn't even have the independence to respond to congressional requests for information addressed directly to him, how "ultimate" was his actual authority? After all, he may have only had "ultimate authority" to claim that he had "ultimate authority" because Garland said he could say so.
