NY Times buries the lead --- BUT --- does confirm that Garland's DOJ did block the Hunter Biden prosecutor's attempts at bringing more charges against the President's son

 
Last night, the roof fell in on any-and-all Bidens that are involved in Hunter Biden's business and tax affairs  ---  and there are many Bidens that apparently fit into that category

First, in an interview shown on the CBS Evening News, an IRS whistleblower says he was told not to pursue leads involving President Biden

Then, the NY Times confirmed that the U.S. Attorney in Delaware Michael C. Weiss did in openly make a claim to his colleagues that the DOJ blocked his attempts to investigate and prosecute Hunter Biden for other crimes in other jurisdictions.....

That would apparently contradict multiple assertions by U.S.A.G. Merrick Garland, including under oath to Congress

Legal experts are saying that A.G. Garland appears to have a big problem  ---  and he needs to do some significant clarifying very quickly

For the first time, on CBSNews last evening, Gary Shapley, the IRS whistleblower in the Hunter Biden tax investigation, said in a TV interview that he believes Hunter Biden was given preferential treatment. In an exclusive interview with Jim Axelrod, he also said that he was told not to pursue leads that could involve investigating President Biden (See "IRS whistleblower says he was told not to pursue leads involving President Biden" by CBS Staff. 6/27/2023, CBS Evening News with Norah O'Donnell/ Interview by Jim Axelrod [https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/tBmMvvDfh0_tbJZY6R4AU5VMaZ66TUJ8/]).

During the Jim Axelreod interview, Shapley also mentioned a meeting with the U.S. Attorney in charge of of the Hunter Biden investigation and prosecution, during which the U.S. Attorney for Delaware said that he was being blocked from pursuing more and heavier charges against Hunter Biden by others at the DOJ. Shapley specifically noted that what he had heard was directly at odds with later statements by the U.S. Attorney General and the U.S. Attorney for Delaware about the conduct of the Hunter Biden case.

The Times' report about the Weiss statement was buried deep in an article that appeared online last night and in today's print editions;  and that report said that  >>>  "... [I]n mid-2022, Mr. Weiss reached out to the top federal prosecutor in Washington, Matthew Graves, to ask his office to pursue charges and was rebuffed, according to Mr. Shapley’s testimony. A similar request to prosecutors in the Central District of California, which includes Los Angeles, was also rejected, Mr. Shapley testified. A second former I.R.S. official, who has not been identified, told House Republicans the same story. That episode was confirmed independently to The New York Times by a person with knowledge of the situation...."  (See "Competing Accounts of Justice Dept.’s Handling of Hunter Biden Case" by Glenn Thrush  & Michael S. Schmidt,  6/27.2023, NY Times/ Hunter Biden Investigation     [https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/27/us/politics/irs-official-justice-dept-hunter-biden.html]).

The gist of the NY Times article by Thrush and Schmidt is that  >>>  "...  An I.R.S. investigator’s testimony describing strains over the inquiry into President Biden’s son is at odds with the version laid out by Attorney General Merrick Garland...."
