Top Senate Dem promises to 'take seriously' IRS whistleblower's claims about 'preferential treatment' in Hunter Biden probe

Raw Story  

Responding to reports that an IRS whistleblower has informed Congress that he wants to come forward to reveal an alleged cover-up in the tax evasion investigation focused on Hunter Biden, Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Dick Durbin said he plans to take the accusations "seriously," the New York Post reported. “But we take them all seriously at the outset and look at them closely.” Durbin was responding to GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham's call for a “bipartisan” approach to the unidentified IRS employee, who claims to have evidence of “preferential treatment” and false testimony to Congress regarding the case. The whistleblower's lawyer told Congress this Wednesday that he wants to expose “preferential treatment” in the criminal investigation and false testimony to Congress by a “senior political appointee.” “My client has already made legally protected disclosures internally at the IRS, through counsel to the US Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, and to the Department of Justice, Office of Inspector General,” attorney Mark Lytle wrote. “The protected disclosures: contradict sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee, involve failure to mitigate clear conflicts of interest in the ultimate disposition of the case, and detail examples of preferential treatment and politics improperly infecting decisions and protocols that would normally be followed by career law enforcement professionals in similar circumstances if the subject were not politically connected," Lytle explained.
