IRS Whistleblowers in Hunter Biden Tax Case Allege High-Level Knowledge of “Real” Laptop and Restricted Inquiry into Joe Biden Ahead of 2020 Election

 

In a new development surrounding the Hunter Biden tax investigation, whistleblowers from within the IRS have alleged that the IRS, Department of Justice (DOJ), and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were aware that Hunter Biden’s laptop was authentic shortly after it surfaced in 2019. According to these insiders, law enforcement officials instructed them not to pursue certain investigative avenues involving then-presidential candidate Joe Biden in the months leading up to the 2020 election.

The whistleblowers, who have remained anonymous, disclosed that they were told to avoid inquiries involving Joe Biden, despite information suggesting his possible involvement in matters under investigation. "There were a lot of overt investigative steps that we were not allowed to take because we had an upcoming election,” one whistleblower stated. Another emphasized that prosecutors had been explicit in limiting questioning about “The Big Guy,” a reference they confirmed was code for Joe Biden.

In describing these constraints, the whistleblowers alleged that their ability to examine the role of Joe Biden was deliberately curtailed. “The prosecutors…told us that they didn’t want to ask about ‘The Big Guy,’” one insider claimed, adding that their team had corroborated through independent means that the term “The Big Guy” referred to Joe Biden. "There was no question ever that ‘The Big Guy’ was referring to Joe Biden,” the whistleblower confirmed. The instructions, they allege, were “for the purpose of affecting that [2020] election.”

This revelation sheds new light on the IRS and DOJ’s handling of the Hunter Biden tax investigation, raising questions about whether political factors may have influenced the conduct and direction of the probe. Although the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop has since been acknowledged by federal authorities, the whistleblowers suggest that the government had quickly confirmed its legitimacy but limited the investigation’s scope.

The claims have sparked renewed debate over the impartiality of federal law enforcement in politically sensitive investigations. Critics argue that if these instructions were indeed issued to avoid potential impacts on the 2020 election, they could indicate a breach of justice and a politically motivated oversight of investigative practices. On the other hand, some experts caution that investigative delays during election cycles are standard to avoid the appearance of partisan interference.

As of now, the IRS, DOJ, and FBI have not publicly commented on the allegations, and it remains unclear whether further steps will be taken to address the claims. Lawmakers from both parties have called for clarity, with some demanding independent reviews to examine the handling of the Hunter Biden probe.

The implications of these whistleblower claims could be significant, not only for the Hunter Biden investigation but for future cases that intersect with high-stakes political campaigns. Whether these revelations will prompt any change in federal oversight or lead to new policies regarding investigatory conduct during election years remains to be seen.
