The IRS Whistleblowers, Merrick Garland and the ‘Big Guy’

Attorney General Merrick Garland waxed indignant on Friday as he defended the Justice Department against accusations of political favoritism. He’ll have to do better than that because his department is accused by credible whistleblowers of blocking investigators in the Hunter Biden probe from following leads that involved President Biden.

Take the case of the now famous July 30, 2017, WhatsApp message from Hunter to Henry Zhao, a Chinese businessman connected to Chinese energy firm CEFC. Hunter writes that “I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled.” He demands that the businessman “resolve” this “tonight” and warns that “I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”
