FBI tiring of delays on Hunter

There is “growing frustration” within the FBI about the amount of time prosecutors are spending weighing possible criminal charges against first son Hunter Biden for alleged tax evasion and lying about his drug use on a gun-purchase form, according to a new report.

NBC News reported on investigators’ mounting exasperation days after an IRS whistleblower who supervised the tax probe since early 2020 contacted Congress through an attorney, alleging a cover-up in the case.

NBC, citing two sources, reported that the FBI — whose Baltimore field office has led the Hunter Biden investigation — “finished the bulk of their work on the case about a year ago.”

One source added that the IRS finished its investigation of the first son more than a year ago.

The US Attorney’s Office in Delaware reportedly has been reviewing four possible charges: two misdemeanor counts of failing to file taxes, a felony count of evading taxes relating to a business expense and the charge on the flawed form for a gun (top).

The report follows the IRS whistleblower informing Congress through his lawyer Mark Lytle that he wants to come forward to expose “preferential treatment” in the case — after already filing complaints with the Treasury and Justice departments’ watchdogs.

Lytle wrote Wednesday his client can also expose false statements to Congress by a “senior political appointee.”

The Post reported Thursday that the reference is to Attorney General Merrick Garland, who twice assured senators that Delaware US Attorney David Weiss has unilateral authority to bring charges in the case. Biden’s lawyers requested a meeting with Justice Department officials next week, including Weiss, according to multiple reports.
