There appears to be a crack in the wall of secrecy that has been erected around Biden Incorporated. If last night’s report turns out to be true, a whistleblower from the IRS has approached members of Congress expressing a desire to come forward and reveal allegations of misconduct and preferential treatment involving Hunter Biden. They claim that they also have evidence of false testimony given under oath to Congress by “a senior political appointee.” The specifics haven’t been released yet (assuming they ever will be), but the claims reportedly relate to a multimillion-dollar loan that the First Son took out last year to pay delinquent federal taxes assessed to “income earned overseas.” The story was both credible and startling enough that even CNN was covering the allegations this morning.

An IRS whistleblower has informed members of Congress that they want to come forward to reveal a coverup of tax evasion by first son Hunter Biden, according to a letter obtained by The Post.

A lawyer representing the unidentified career federal agency employee informed a group of congressional committee leaders Wednesday of the allegations pertaining to “preferential treatment” and false testimony to Congress by a “senior political appointee.”

Although Hunter, 53, isn’t named in the letter, a congressional source confirmed the complaint pertains to the first son, who reportedly borrowed about $2 million last year to pay off a federal tax bill assessed to income earned overseas.

The whistleblower’s attorney, Mark Lytle, described an ongoing investigation that has been taking shape since at least 2020. He also claims that his client only resorted to asking for whistleblower status after first bringing the information to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration and to the Department of Justice IG’s office.

More tantalizingly, there is a vague description of senior officials engaging in “preferential treatment and politics improperly infecting decisions and protocols that would normally be followed by career law enforcement professionals in similar circumstances.” If the whistleblower can provably show that someone high up in the food chain lied under oath, somebody could be in serious trouble, and I’m not talking about Hunter Biden.

If someone owes two million dollars in taxes, that has to be a fairly significant amount of income. And if that income was “earned overseas” as Lytle says, specifically where did it come from? From all we’ve learned from Hunter Biden’s laptop and his business associates, the top candidates would have to be China, Russia, and Ukraine. (We’re just speculating at this point, obviously.) But if so, we’ll be circling back to the same questions we’ve been asking throughout this saga. What services did Hunter Biden offer to earn that kind of money? And where did it go once he received it? How much, if any, wound up in the pockets of “the Big Guy,” and did the “Big Guy” report that money on his own tax returns?

Of course, even if Lytle’s client can prove something illegal took place beyond a shadow of a doubt, that doesn’t mean we’re any closer to concrete action being taken. It would still require people inside the Justice Department to take action on the case, and that agency is still controlled by Biden’s people who could exercise “prosecutorial discretion” and ignore the alleged crime(s).  But if nothing else, we may be one step closer to finding out what was going on inside Biden Incorporated for all these years and how a career public servant married to a community college teacher wound up with multiple mansions near the ocean.
