Whistleblower could be the ‘Deep Throat’ against Hunter and Joe Biden

That a whistleblower is set to report about political interference in the investigation into presidential son Hunter Biden is no surprise. The investigation, or rather what looks like a failure to investigate, has smelled of corruption for years. We can only hope that with a whistleblower now willing to talk, the liberal media finally will treat this corruption as the full-blown scandal it seems to be.
By now, there should be little need to recap the basis for believing Hunter Biden probably broke laws.
BIDEN INVESTIGATION INFECTED BY POLITICS: IRS WHISTLEBLOWER
Based on the contents of his laptop computer alone, analysts have posited that he may have violated laws on taxes, money laundering, major drug use, prostitution, human trafficking, guns, and foreign business dealings. And significant evidence, albeit circumstantial, indicates that President Joe Biden had more knowledge of and perhaps involvement in his son’s business dealings than he has admitted.
The FBI has had the laptop since December 2019. A Delaware grand jury, since 2018, already had been investigating Hunter Biden’s business dealings. It should not take nearly five years to decide if the voluminous materials already available about those dealings merit an indictment, especially with the FBI’s massive resources at hand for well over three of those years.
Indeed, the case demands fierce urgency because of the massive financial gains the whole Biden family apparently secured through those dealings.
As former top federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy has written, “The material question is whether American policy toward hostile regimes is being influenced by the millions of dollars that agents of those regimes paid the Bidens.”
Instead of urgency on this case, the Justice Department has shown norm-defying sloth. The letter that a whistleblower’s lawyer sent on April 19 suggests damning confirmation that the sloth is caused not just by incompetence, but by corruption.
The lawyer, Mark Lytle, wrote to congressional leaders and two inspectors general that his client’s information, among other things, will “contradict sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee” and “detail examples of preferential treatment and politics improperly infecting decisions and protocols that would normally be followed by career law enforcement professionals.”
In plain language, he is alleging that the Biden administration is engaged in a cover-up. The investigation, he says, isn’t merely lagging; it is being sabotaged. And a high official, which some pundits already assume to be Attorney General Merrick Garland (although this has not been confirmed), stands accused of lying to Congress about all of this.
The implications of all of this could reach Watergate proportions.
Take away the names and the political parties, and just look at the apparent content of the allegations. The misuse of the Justice Department and perhaps other federal agencies to cover up a crime? Check. Actual material interference with an investigation? Check. Deliberate lies to Congress? Check. And, worse than Watergate, a president who may have profited not just politically but financially from the alleged perfidy.
There’s also the specter, as McCarthy noted, of a president compromised by foreign powers hostile to the United States.
The underlying crimes that are suggested by the laptop alone are in themselves worse than the two-bit burglary that spawned the Watergate scandal. The ramifications and permutations — not just conceivably, but reasonably imaginable from the evidence so far combined with the appearance of the whistleblower — could be not just worse but far worse.

Again, nothing has been proven.
Still, Watergate, from burglary to resignation, took just 26 months. From laptop in the FBI’s possession until now already has taken 40 months. There is no excuse for this taking so long. We need answers now. And if what the whistleblower says proves true, many figurative guillotines should be sharpening.
