At the same time, IRS whistleblowers had just come forward and testified before Congress, alleging all manner of corruption at the DOJ with respect to investigating Hunter. We talked about it a few episodes ago, and watched a good portion of the hearings. They testified about such things like the DOJ prohibiting investigators from executing search warrants on Hunter, notifying his legal team that warrants even existed, as well as text messages in which Hunter attempted to extort his Chinese business associate for money by telling him that his father was sitting there with him and the House Ways and Means Committee provided all 448 pages of testimony from these IRS whistleblowers to the Delaware Judge in Hunter Biden's case as an amicus brief. --- From [[BDE227]]: ![[BDE227#Chuck Grassley Releases FBI Record]] --- Keep in mind all of these were publicly available documents that were in the public record. And a couple of days ago, the lawyers for the House Ways and Means Committee were informed that their amicus brief was removed from the docket, and they were told somebody from their firm had contacted the court telling them they worked for the HWMC and to remove the documents in question. It turned out the person who did this was a lawyer from the law firm representing Hunter Biden. This judge then accused Hunter Biden's lawyers of calling them, pretending to be lawyers from the other side in order to get this highly damaging information about Hunter Biden removed from the case. ### Jessica Bengels at Latham & Watkins [Link](https://twitter.com/obarcala/status/1683973172255752193)  [Link](https://twitter.com/bchadhill/status/1683988359050579968)  [Link](https://archive.is/20230726024614/https://www.lw.com/en/people/jessica-bengels)  [Video](https://www.tiktok.com/@cbsnews/video/7260189592878386474?_r=1&_t=8eK32h95Bf9) %%Footer Starts Here%% ---  --- # Keep Digging %%Space%% ## Tags #Stream/BDE ### Footnotes & References The Show 📺/2023/July/BDE229.md
