Since when do law enforcement agencies run interference for the subject and target of a federal criminal probe? According to a new whistleblower, the FBI and the Secret Service did just that for Hunter Biden in December 2020, as investigators sought to interview Hunter in connection to tax probes.

And now-retired supervisory special agent told the House Oversight Committee that investigators planned to interview multiple witnesses at the same time to advance the probe into Hunter’s tax and firearms violations. To avoid a potentially dangerous situation, the agent alerted a high-ranking FBI official to coordinate the arrival with Secret Service agents protecting Hunter. Instead, the official alerted the Secret Service immediately – and the agents at the location refused access to Hunter. Tipped off, Hunter declined to contact investigators.

This may present the clearest example of a two-tiered system of justice applied to the Bidens. Who else has FBI executives and the Secret Service running interference for targets of federal tax, firearms and influence-peddling investigations? It all smells of obstruction—and corruption—to protect elites from the consequences of their own crimes.
