On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, there is breaking news that the Hunter Biden’s investigation has been infected with political preferential treatment after an IRS whistleblower has come forward. The claims come from a senior career IRS criminal supervisory agent putting their career on the line to expose how bad things are in terms of investigating Hunter. The Department of Justice has been covering up for President Biden and his family and will continue to do so despite the Biden White House denying any obstruction. Meanwhile, the brainwashing of the 1619 project pays no respect to our country’s actual history of bravery and sacrifice. The tenured union Marxist and the American hating left have contributed nothing, let alone put their lives on the line like the patriots at Lexington and Concord. Also, a federal judge has denied Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s request to block a congressional subpoena for a former prosecutor in Bragg’s office who investigated former President Donald Trump. Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil ruled against Bragg and in favor of Jim Jordan, who subpoenaed Mark Pomerantz as part of what he’s claimed is a probe into whether Bragg’s office used federal funds in the investigation of Trump. Later, it is incredible that the manifesto of the Nashville shooter has been withheld from the American people. The Democrat media doesn’t want to know the motive because the shooter attacked a Christian school, which is also why Biden did not go to the service and has not invited the families of the victims to the White House. Biden is always looking for a scab to pick on the American culture and never celebrates or shows pride for America.

Segment 1

There is truly a big breaking story tonight, and I will say it from the Washington Examiner. Hunter Biden investigation infected by politics and preferential treatment, says a senior IRS official seeking whistleblower status by Jerry Dunleavy. And this is now being picked up everywhere because this is a serious supervisory special agent of the IRS criminal division. He’s a career employee. It’s a bombshell. An IRS agent is seeking whistleblower protections and alleging that the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden has been infected by politics and preferential treatment. The bombshell whistleblower claims come from a career IRS criminal supervisory special agent. Who says he’s been overseeing, quote, the ongoing and sensitive investigation, unquote, of a high profile and controversial subject since early 2020. A source familiar with the letter told The Washington Examiner that this is about President Joe Biden’s son, who’s being investigated for several potential crimes. The whistleblower’s lawyer, Mark Liddle, sent a letter to the heads of multiple House and Senate committees telling them his client’s protected disclosures lay out examples of preferential treatment in politics, improperly infecting decisions I’m quoting, and protocols that would normally be followed. By career law enforcement professionals in similar circumstances if the subject were not politically connected, quote unquote. The IRS agents allegations also, quote, contradict sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee, unquote. This is their letter and quote, involved failure to mitigate clear conflicts of interests and the ultimate disposition of the case against Hunter Biden. The whistleblower’s lawyer said the IRS agent had also made already legally protected disclosures internally at the IRS, as well as the Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax Administration and the Justice Department’s inspector general. Republicans have long contended that Hunter Biden’s lucrative business dealings in Ukraine and China indicate he may have committed crimes related to foreign lobbying or money laundering or taxes. Although recent reports have indicated federal investigations may have narrowed the focus of the Bidens investigation to tax fraud in 2016 and 2017 and lying on a federal form when purchasing a handgun in 2018. Both are potential felonies that could lead to prison time if pursued by the Department of Justice. Gee, I wonder how the judges in Washington, D.C. were treated. It’s up to us Attorney David, why you see Trump appointed holdover who’s doing a crappy job so far. And the Delaware prosecutor overseeing the case to decide whether to indict the president’s son. And it goes on. Although the Justice Department indicting the son of a sitting president would be a major development. The bigger questions remain whether the department has been considering more significant charges tied to money laundering and foreign lobbying. And weather investigators have been looking into the national security implications of Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings, especially his association with businessmen linked to communist Chinese intel. Now here’s where I come on this. How do you constrict or contain an investigation of Hunter Biden? And not look into his father. How is that possible? It really isn’t. And I’ve been contending here from day one. That the Department of Injustice has been covering up for Joe Biden, and they’re going to continue to do so. I spoke to you last week about how the Biden White House was involved. In the so-called documents investigation of Donald Trump. And the Democrat Party tentacles other than here. Have you heard that anywhere else? No, you haven’t. Because people don’t care. They just drop it. But I care. But I care. Now, the Democrat Party was was really behind what was taking place with Alvin Bragg, which is why you saw them defending him. And what. And what’s been taking place in New York. During that hearing yesterday. But now we have. A senior. Career. Irish Criminal Supervisory Special Agent. Who wants whistleblower status. Literally puts his career on the line or hers. Seeks whistleblower status goes to an outside special lawyer involved in such things. That’s how bad the situation is at the IRS and the Treasury Department. In terms of investigating Hunter Biden. And I’m sure that’s how bad it is in terms of investigating Joe Biden. Where there is a the only wall these guys built are the wall to protect Joe Biden. They built a wall around him to protect him from criminal investigate. Really quite outrageous. So this is breaking news. Hunter Biden investigation infected by politics and preferential treatment says an IRS whistleblower seeking whistleblower official legal status. And this whistleblower has said that he is raise concerns with the inspector general of justice. He’s raised concerns with the Treasury Department. He’s raising concerns with others. He’s getting nowhere. Nowhere. He’s raised it with the Treasury Department’s inspector general. He’s raised it with the Justice Department’s inspector general. Legally protected disclosures. And now he says, I got to go to Congress. This is just this is unacceptable. Republicans would likely. Very much be disappointed. It says here and minimal charges brought against Hunter Biden should be minimal charges brought against Hunter Biden. Chuck Grassley says based on recent protected disclosures to my office, the FBI has within its possession significant, impactful and voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden. And he said that in October 2022, letter to Garland, to Christopher Wray, and to this U.S. attorney Vice. They have everything they need to charge, convict and throw on her. Biden in prison. While they’re busy chasing the January six parades. And this goes well beyond. And that’s why the Republicans are really digging in here, because they know that this leads to paper. And I see that Robert Kennedy Jr has has announced that he’s running for president. Let me tell you something. He could become a very, very serious candidate in a very short period of time. No other serious Democrat. I forget the woman’s name. She’s not serious. Williamson or something. Marianne Williamson There you go. But Robert Kennedy, Jr even though he has some flaky ideas, he’s not a flake. Joe Biden is a flake with flaky ideas. There. There’s a difference. But he could become a serious challenger. Just because so many Democrats are sick and tired of Joe Biden. I’m not talking about the ruling class. They love Joe Biden. They’ve known Joe Biden for the longest time. I’m talking about voters. Joe Biden’s popularity is about as high as Raul Castro. While in some parts of our country that would be very high. But I’m talking about South Florida.

Segment 2

The corruption in this Biden administration is incredibly significant, which is why the Democrats are doing everything they can to sabotage every hearing to look into these matters over at Blaze Media. The Afghanistan inspector general reveals taxpayer money is flowing to the Taliban, and the Biden administration is guilty of unprecedented obstruction. See the pattern? John Sopko. Sopko, special inspector general for Afghanistan Reconstruction, told Congress today. That taxpayer dollars are flowing into the Taliban’s pockets. The shocking admission was made during a House Oversight Committee hearing about the Biden administration’s disastrous and deadly withdraw from Afghanistan in August 2021. This is from Chris and Lo at the blaze. Quote. Unfortunately, as I sit here today, I cannot assure this committee or the American taxpayer that we are not currently funding the Taliban, nor can I assure you that the Taliban are not diverting the money we are sending from the intended recipients, which are the poor Afghan people. Sopko explained that obstruction from the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Biden administration has been, quote, unprecedented, unquote. He said both agencies have demonstrated and quote, abject refusal to allow oversight, unquote, of the billions of taxpayer dollars that have been sent to Afghanistan. Sacco later said, I don’t trust the Taliban as far as you can throw them. The information we’re getting, again, not from the State Department who isn’t talking to us or USA is the Taliban is already diverting funds. Here is this special investigator, the special inspector general. That’s his job. He’s the inspector general to get to the bottom of what’s taking place. And he’s been obstructed by Blinken’s State Department and USAID. U.S. aid. Agency for International Development. You’ve got a senior supervisory Irish criminal investigator who seeks whistleblower status because his investigation of Hunter Biden is being obstructed by a political appointee from the Biden administration. SHAPIRO said. I would just say I haven’t seen a starving Taliban fighter on. On TV. They all seem to be fat, dumb and happy. I see a lot of starving Afghan children on TV, so I’m wondering where all this funding is going. Konadu is testimony the U.S. has made available to Afghanistan more than $8 billion since the withdrawal less than two years ago. Why are we giving them anything? They’re the enemy. Biden takes our money and throws it around. Throughout his testimony, Sacco repeatedly returned to the Biden administration’s obstruction. In fact, he said Seiger. That’s his office has not heard from, quote, anybody in the administration really, and said the routine meetings with top government and military leaders that happened in previous in the previous administration have ceased under Biden. So they occurred under Trump. They’ve ceased under Biden. Now it’s just radio silence, he said. SAP goes. Eye opening testimony came about two weeks after the Biden administration released its after action report about the Afghanistan withdraw. The report attempted to blame former President Donald Trump for what happened under Biden’s watch, completely absolving Biden’s administration. And that blame game continued. Prior to the hearing, CNN reported. The White House is denying they are obstructing SAP. Those oversight efforts, by the way, liars, thieves, corrupt, obstruct. These are career people. We have the guts to come forward. We have FBI, some career with people coming, whistleblowers who have guts to come forward at the IRS. Now a key senior supervisory criminal investigator, a civil servant. The guts to come forward seeking whistleblower status. Now we have the UN Special Inspector General. Would they guts to come forward? Who’s being obstructed? Who’s being obstructed? By the Department of State and Aid, which is part of the Department of State. Did you know that we’ve given $8 billion? To the Taliban. Since our surrender two years ago. Did you know that? I didn’t know that. $8 billion. No wonder our enemies think we’re weak because we are. No wonder our enemy is on the move. Because now’s the time. They’re not stupid. Stupid is the people who vote for Joe Biden and the Democrats. That’s stupid. You got to hate our country if you vote for Joe Biden. You really do. Now, I know that Robert kennedy Jr. I know that he’s no Barry Goldwater. I know he’s a lib, but I also know this guy has the potential. I think. That being a Democrat. But at least has the potential to make some inroads here, because I don’t like most Americans other than Democrats who serve on these committees, are happy with the way that Joe Biden surrendered. And by the way, there’s still hundreds, if not thousands of American prisoners over there.

Segment 3

Special Inspector General for Afghanistan has held that job for 12 years and here’s what he said in his own words today. Cut, forego lack of cooperation by state. And I’m not talking about the IGs. I’m talking about the Department of State and to a lesser extent, USAID is unprecedented in the nearly 12 years that I have been the cigar. And I must add, in the two decades that I did congressional oversight, both in the Senate and the House due to this refusal to fully cooperate, a significant portion of cigars work, including the two report. The five reports we did for this committee have been hindered and delayed to cover up. That’s why the Biden administration put out its propaganda last week. It’s like a 1012 page document that could have been written by other PR people and probably was they blame Trump. They get all the headlines, all the attention, knowing that this hearing is going to be the following week. And this gentleman who’s a career guy, he’s been there a long time. Talks about how much money has gone to the Taliban, that we can’t track it. And what he’s saying is there’s a cover up. There’s a cover up. Now I only have 3 hours on this program, so I got to keep moving. And so I want to ask you a question. This is the anniversary of, what, 248 years ago this week, the battles of Lexington and Concord. I wonder if this is being taught in our schools. Patrick O’Donnell has written a fantastic piece at Breitbart. And I want to read this to you, because the truth is, most of the people on TV and radio don’t know anything about the battles of Lexington and Concord, so they don’t talk about them. But I will. 240 years ago. Farmers, tradesmen, laborers, mariners, Americans of all stripes came together to defend themselves against the most professional army in the world. The battles of Lexington and Concord, April 19, 1775, marked the beginning of an epic journey for a band of brothers who risked everything for a nation yet to be born. Over the course of nearly eight years, many of these Americans marched thousands of miles, often shoeless, unpaid and starving. To fight for the freedom and liberties most Americans today take for granted. And their resolute stand matters in light of multiple current events and threats to that American liberty. In the fall of 1774, King George the third told Lord North, the prime minister of Great Britain, that quote blows must decide whether they that is the colonists, but hereafter referred to as the Americans are to be subject to this country, are independent, and the Crown move toward using force. For years friction had been building in the provinces. Beginning in September 1774, gages forces conducted a number of so-called powder alarms aimed at seizing gunpowder and munitions. Black powder in the colonies was precious and had to be imported, since virtually no organic production existed in North America. The Crown put in place a ban on the importation of powder and firearms. Mercilessly, they leveled a number of hard economic measures. Close the Port of Boston, throwing thousands out of work, passed several acts aimed to destroy the colonies economy as well. Americans fought back by boycotting British products. In early 1775, after declaring the colonies in a state of rebellion, the Crown ordered General Gage, the commander in chief of British forces in North America, and the military governor of the province of Massachusetts Bay, to use, quote, vigorous exertion, unquote, of that force and quote, seize the principal actors and invaders as well as disarm the Americans. During the previous several months. Most colonists had hope for peace and still considered themselves Englishmen as they prepared to defend themselves. The British had demonstrated throughout the history of their empire that without powder and cannon to support a standing army, any rebellion could be easily crushed. Until reinforcements arrived, However, Gage must conduct the disarmament raids with surgical precision, knowing that colonists could recruit potentially overwhelming forces. He spent weeks preparing for the operation to seize rebel munitions that Americans had amassed at Concord. The operation to seize the Patriots powder and cannon, located by Gage’s spies at Concord, unfolded at 10 p.m. April 18, 1775. Over 700 British regulars under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith, began their journey toward Lexington and Concord. Now, this remarkable untold story is that the bestselling book The Indispensables Marble Heads Diverse Soldier Mariners who shaped the country formed the Navy and rowed Washington across the Delaware. Smith detached six companies of his elite light infantry Marines, led by Major John Pitcairn, to march ahead of the column and secure a two Bridges satellite into Concord. He also wisely sent a message to Boston for reinforcements. The corpulent officer knew he would need them Through the first faint grey streaks. At dawn, the British vanguard saw the fields and hills come alive with armed man darting toward Lexington. One officer remembered a vast number of country militia going over the hill with their arms to Lexington. The Americans had been alerted by Paul Revere and other riders that Smith’s regulars were on the march, rounding abandoned the road. The British saw the darkened silhouettes of Lexington’s Meetinghouse and Homes. Now a drumbeat called Americans to Arms. Captain John Parker’s militia assembled on the northeast corner of Lexington Common. A veteran of the French and Indian War. Parker knew how to fight. He was also terminally ill with tuberculosis and had only five months to live. But John Parker would have one more great fight in him. Parker’s militia had been up all night after Revere’s initial warning that the Redcoats were on the march toward Concord. Parker barked to his men, Let the troops pass by. Don’t molest them. What are they being first? One American heard a British officer shout, Damn. Then we will have them. Parker’s over 70. Patriots nervously eyed the British, as one exclaimed, There are so few of us. It would be total folly to stand here. It was. The Americans were outnumbered and outgunned. A game of chicken ensued. Parker firmly implored his troops, Stand your ground, don’t fire unless fired upon. But if they want a war, let it begin here. Major pic Karen road toward the group in your departures man Throw down your arms ye villains ye rebels. Now one of Parker’s men laid down their arms, but Parker mysteriously changed his orders to disperse and not to fire. But Karen brought surrounded disarm them. Another American heard a British officer shout ye villains hereabouts. Disperse. Damn, you, disperse! The Redcoats shouted Huzzah! Huzzah! To intimidate the Americans. Some men slowly dispersed, others stood their ground, but nobody laid down their arms. Time seemed to stand still. And then a high pitched crack of a shot pierced the morning air of the New England Common. Nobody knows which side fired first. The British charged and fired into Parker’s men only about 30 to 60 yards away, although known for their iron discipline, training and tactical prowess on the battlefield. The British officers had lost control of their men. The troops ran wildly through the green and the ensuing chaos. Some Americans held their ground, ignoring Parker’s orders to withdraw. Parker’s cousin, Jonas Parker, did not move an inch, although writhing in pain from a gunshot wound knocked prone from the force on his hands and knees. Parker attempted to reload his musket. One of his fellow Americans heard him declare that he would never run. And shortly after uttering those words, a redcoat charged, impaling the New Englander with a bayonet and disemboweling him. Horrified by the unfolding bedlam and its men shooting Americans without orders, Major Pitcairn rode out into the melee and drew a sword, flashing it feverishly in the air, signaling a cease fire. Eight Americans, including several pairs of fathers and sons, would ultimately die during the engagement. Multiple other Americans were wounded. After regaining control of his men, Smith addressed his officers only now informed them of their mission to march to Concord and seed and destroy the cannon and the munitions the provincials had secreted away there. Several officers risked their careers and told Smith to abandon the mission. The entire countryside had been alerted. Smith dismissed the warnings and insisted he had his orders. The British column trudged toward Concord, the distance they heard the drone and told of Concord. Church, Bell pressed into service as an alarm. By about 7:30 a.m., the long column of troops that sprawled near a quarter of a mile arrived in the town. To counter the British militia and Minutemen from Concord and surrounding towns, wielding a variety of their own personal arms proudly assembled on the hill behind Concord’s Meetinghouse, the leaders of the militia ordered their men not to fire unless fired upon, and after a debate, decided to withdraw to another hill nearly a mile from the center of Concord, near North Bridge, they laid into town. With the center of Concord clear of American Smith ordered his men without warrants to search and destroy any munitions or weapons were located in the town. Following intelligence furnished from Gage’s spies, an American traitor, Dr. Benjamin Church. They know exactly where to start looking After holding a gun to the head of the local tyrant over, they were able to locate several cannons buried behind the siren, which they disable. They also found a few wooden gun carriages for the artillery and thousands of musket balls that they tossed into a match upon the British mission of disarmament of Concord had failed. The forewarned Americans had successfully moved most of their stockpiles. Smith’s troops manhandled the cannon carriages and roll them into a blazing fire. But soon, flames, the inferno spread to nearby structures. In a bizarre juxtaposition, the revolution paused and both sides put aside their differences. Locals and concord in the crowds. Troops formed a bucket brigade to extinguish the flames that consumed a nearby structure. On the hill overlooking Concord’s North Bridge, the Minutemen and the militia saw the billowing clouds of white smoke. Young Lieutenant Joseph Hosmer stormed over to the militia leaders who debated their next move. Will you let them burn the town down? The senior American Colonel James Barrett, who wore an old coat of flapped hat and a leather apron whose farm is now being raided by Smith’s troops, looked at the faces of his men. The men showed no fear and urged Barrett to march on the Concord. And Barrett ordered hundreds of men’s forward, but warned not to shoot first and wait until fired upon. Now I’m going to have to take a short break. As we finish the discussion about the Battle of Concord, the Americans having having been hit hard in Lexington. Same day, essentially.

Segment 4

I got to keep moving on this if you want to hear how it goes. And practically from from Breitbart and practically a repeat of Lexington, a shot rang out. But this time it’s like it’s a Concorde. Now, the British clearly fired first. The shot was later dubbed the shot heard round the world by poet and grandson of Reverend Emerson, Ralph Waldo Emerson. One British soldier fired without orders, followed by two others. And then the front British ranks erupted in a sheet of flame of smoke as they discharged a volley. Several provincials fell and many suffered wounds from the fuselage. The skirmish continued for several minutes until the Americans forced the British back into the center of Concord, where they reformed and eventually march toward Boston. Smith’s walking wounded with bandaged arms, legs and heads marched alongside they hitherto unscathed. The light infantry fanned out in an attempt to protect the flanks of the Redcoat column. And in the distance, the ridges and hills teamed with swarms of men assembling from the towns in the area. First mile of the march was uneventful until the column had a juncture known as Miriam’s Corner, where several country lanes merged. Here, Minutemen and militia ambush the British, using the terrain to their advantage, the Americans said. Behind boulders, trees stonewalls while pouring a deadly volley into the retreating redcoats. The light infantry advanced on the flank, sometimes surprising and slaying the colonists who fought from their homes and farms perched on a boulder strewn hillside outside Lexington. John Parker and his men patiently waited to pounce on Smith’s column, running low on ammunition and having already sustained dozens of casualties. Smith’s men ran into an ambush that history, dubbed Parker’s revenge, hit by multiple ambushes, exhausted out of ammunition and having sustained many dead and wounded. The men near the ends of their rope, that’s the British did. Most of Smith’s troops felt like only a miracle could save them. That miracle came in the form of 1300 troops led by Lord Percy, who arrived to rescue the expeditionary force from inevitable destruction. Percy formed a marching square several columns wide with the light infantry moving ahead, working the flanks. Around 315 in the afternoon, after several delays, Percy ordered his men forward. It began now to grow pretty late, and we had 15 miles to retire and only 36 rounds, he said. As the columns and Flankers surged forward, British pipers and drummers mockingly played Yankee Doodle. General William Heath, the American commander in charge of the Minutemen, a militia, countered with a moving envelopment. Percy’s troops, which the English nobleman described as an incessant fire, which like a moving circle, surrounded and followed us wherever we went. Minutemen and militia, indiscernible during the battle, swarmed the British forms from all flanks. The Americans defended their homes, firing from windows and doors. The soldiers were so enraged at suffering from the unseen enemy that they proceeded and put at death all those found in them, recalled Frederick Mackenzie, an officer in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. Corder was not always granted, and the British executed several prisoners after they surrendered Denison. Wallace ran for his life after the Redcoats shot the men around him. Wallace had been struck 12 times and left for dead, but he lived to tell what he had witnessed in and around the grounds of Jason Russell’s house. A dozen Americans, including its owners, were killed defending their home. Russell, 59, and Lame, refused to leave the dwelling, and he reportedly declared an Englishman’s house as his castle. A macabre scene of a sweltering bayonet. Bullet ridden bodies of her husband and her Americans greeted Jason Russell’s wife when she returned to her home after the battle. She described the floor of the kitchen as a lake of blood almost ankle deep. But the Americans would not yield. And the redcoats ran into many. A man like 78 year old Captain Samuel Whitmore, protected his home as he hid behind a stone wall, killing a soldier and firing his pistol to slay another while attacking a soldier with his sword. A ball blew off part of his cheekbone. Then the redcoats bayoneted him several times, shouting, We’ve killed the old rebel. Whitmore lay in a pool of his own blood, having their bayonet at six or eight times, and its hat and clothes were shot through in many places. But he would survive to live the 96 burning homes, killing livestock, plundering anything they could cram in there, having sex, including the church, communion, silver. The British defied Cage’s orders and embarked on an orgy of violence. They lost more men as they pushed east to break through the American gauntlet. A blood red sun set on the British troops. Many of whom had not slept for days as they finally made their way to Charlestown and set up defensive positions, ironically in a place known as Bunker Hill. In the morning, the British would find Boston surrounded by thousands of Americans. Fearing an attack from within Boston, Gage took the entire town hostage and banned Americans from leaving, and he implemented a gun registering confiscation scheme. And I will tell you the rest of the story after the top of the hour.
