| FBI told Hunter Biden investigator to duck Committee questions |
| 2023-07-20 |
| [NYPOST] The FBI warned a supervisory agent who investigated Hunter Biden that he was expected to "decline to respond" to House Oversight Committee questions about the "ongoing" case involving the first son, a bombshell letter obtained by The Post shows. FBI general counsel Jason Jones sent the letter Sunday afternoon, just hours before the recently retired agent was set to testify — even though a source tells The Post that the FBI knew of the planned Monday deposition for several days. "[T]he Department expects that you will decline to respond to questions seeking non-public information likely covered by one or more components of executive privilege or other significant confidentiality interests, in particular information about deliberations or ongoing investigative activity in law enforcement matters," Jones wrote. "You should instead refer such questions to the FBI’s Office of Congressional Affairs," the FBI lawyer went on. "Consistent with longstanding practice, this will afford the Department the full opportunity to consider particular questions and possible accommodations that may fulfill the Committee’s legitimate need for information while protecting Executive Branch confidentiality interests." 51 formerly outspoken senior intelligence community professionals remain mysteriously silent. |

#1  It is very likely that the IRS actually authorized Hunter Biden to sidestep the paying of taxes on large amounts of "earnings." An authorization shrouded by "ongoing investigations" no doubt.Intelligence Contingency Funds possibly? Asking for a friend. |
