Hunter Biden was just given what amounts to a light slap on the wrist for a couple of misdemeanor tax law violations from federal prosecutors when revealed evidence through IRS whistleblowers strongly suggests that numerous other more serious crimes were ignored by his presidential father's Justice Department.

Among those other alleged crimes are claims that Biden wrote off as deductible business expenses on his tax returns multiple payments to prostitutes and dues paid to a sex club, Fox News reported.

Those revelations came in the congressional testimony of Gary Shapley, an IRS Supervisory Special Agent who led an investigation into Hunter Biden for several years but came forward as a whistleblower to assert official misconduct and preferential treatment for the president's son by his own superiors and top officials in the FBI.

Expensing hookers and sex club fees

On Thursday, the Republican-led House Ways and Means Committee publicly released a lightly redacted transcript of Shapley's testimony to the committee just about a month ago in late May.

At one point, in discussing Hunter Biden's 2018 tax return which wasn't filed until 2020, Shapley noted that Biden "was expensing personal expenses, his business expenses. So, I mean, everything, there was a payment that -- there was a $25,000 to one of his girlfriends and it said, 'golf membership.' And then we went out and followed that money it was for a sex club membership in L.A."

He also noted how Biden had expensed "off-the-book employees," such as Lunden Roberts, the Arkansas woman who is the mother of his four-year-old daughter, and how "he was giving her healthcare benefits, she wasn't working, you know. All that was expensed."

"There were multiple examples of prostitutes that were ordered, basically, and we have all the communications between that where he would pay for these prostitutes, would book them a flight where even the flight ticket showed their name. And then he expensed those," Shapley said.

He went on to further reveal that Biden's accountants clearly didn't believe all of the things he was attempting to write off were actually business expenses, and how those accountants created "a representation letter that basically they said they have never done before. And they had him sign this
document, and it was basically because they didn't believe what he was saying, but they didn't -- if they were going to prepare his return, they had to listen to what he was saying."

Biden received preferential treatment, investigation was blocked and delayed

In the Thursday press release that included the transcript of Shapley's whistleblower testimony, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) revealed why the committee majority had decided to publicly release the otherwise confidential testimony.

"The testimony shows tactics used by the Justice Department to delay the investigation long enough to reach the statute of limitations, evidence they divulged sensitive actions by the investigative team to Biden’s attorneys, and denied requests by the U.S. Attorney to bring charges against Biden," Smith said.

Further, "IRS employees who blew the whistle on this abuse were retaliated against, despite a commitment IRS Commissioner Werfel made before the Ways and Means Committee to uphold their legal protections. They were removed from this investigation after they responsibly worked through the chain of command to raise these concerns."

"The Committee has acted in good faith with participation from both Democrats and Republicans, as the issues raised today ought to be a bipartisan concern. Hopefully we can find a path forward to continue to go where the facts lead us," the chairman added. "If the federal government is not treating all taxpayers equally, or if it is changing the rules to engineer a preferred outcome, Congress has a duty to ask why and to hold agencies accountable and consider appropriate legislative action. The scales of justice must not be skewed in favor of the wealthy and the politically connected."

Biden's sweet plea deal

Meanwhile, just days prior to the release, it was announced by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware that a deal had been reached with Hunter Biden's attorneys for him to plead guilty to a pair of misdemeanor tax violations for failing to file income tax returns in 2017 and 2018 -- crimes for which the average citizen would receive up to a year in jail each but for which Biden will likely only receive probation.

Separately, the announcement also noted that Biden had agreed to enter into a pretrial diversion on a felony charge of unlawful possession of a firearm by a user or addict of a controlled substance, meaning he would likely avoid any jail sentence at all for a crime that would incarcerate an average citizen for up to 10 years in prison.
