THE FIX WAS IN: Days after Joe Biden became president, his DOJ sought briefing on Hunter criminal case, memos show.

The request for the briefing escaped public and media notice for two years and is now the earliest known evidence of intervention by Biden DOJ officials into the Hunter Biden case. It comes only weeks after reports disclosed that Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer had contact with Hunter Biden’s attorneys in May during the effort to negotiate a now-abandoned plea deal that would have spared Hunter Biden prison time on tax evasion and gun charges.

Hunter Biden has since been charged with three gun felonies and remains under investigation for other potential offenses after a federal judge rejected his plea deal. Biden has pleaded “Not Guilty” to those charges.

The new revelation — contained in documents that Ziegler and Shapley turned over during their whistleblower cooperation with the House Ways and Means Committee — is certain to heighten concerns among congressional investigators who are suspicious of Garland’s claims that his his [sic] DOJ kept hands off of the Hunter Biden probe and left all decisions to Weiss’ office.
