DOJ accelerates offensive against Trump while protecting the Biden family
Investigations against the former president continue to reach the courts while those against the president are delayed or obstructed.

The Department of Justice (DOJ), has become the "absolute weapon" of the Biden Administration, in the words of Donald Trump. Merrick Garland continues to press the accelerator to cover the former president with court charges before he can clinch the Republican nomination as a presidential candidate in 2024. At the same time, top law enforcement officials continue to move in the shadows to protect the presidential family from investigations into their foreign business dealings. In addition to hindering the work of the House Investigative Committee, as James Comer alleges, the FBI advised Hunter Biden's investigator to decline to respond at his congressional appearance.
Trump accuses Biden and DOJ of "election interference"
During a town hall on Fox, Trump reiterated his accusations of "election interference" by Joe Biden and the Justice Department. The former president stressed that " it has never been done like this in the history of our Country, and it’s a disgrace." The magnate also pointed out that Garland's agency is an "absolute weapon" in the hands of the Democrats.
The more than $9 million spent on special prosecutor Jack Dorsey's inquiries into Trump has already landed the former president in a Florida court over the classified papers case. The letter received last Sunday by the tycoon seems to indicate that they will also serve him and thereby force him to appear before another court to answer questions about his alleged involvement in an attempt to reverse the 2020 election results and his participation in the January 6 incidents.
Threatening letter from FBI to informant prior to arraignment
Both the amount of money invested and the timing and movements are in stark contrast to the treatment the Biden family is receiving. With roughly over a million spent on the investigation of classified documentation found in several of his quarters and homes, the work of the DOJ and security agencies is being very cautious and maintaining a rather slow pace. That is, when it is not directly trying to protect the president and his offspring, as Comer has repeatedly denounced from the House Oversight Committee.
The same day Trump went public that he was one step away from a new indictment, The New York Post published exclusively that the FBI had warned, in a threatening letter, a retired supervisor not to respond to Republican lawmakers about Hunter. The former agent had alleged that the investigation had been sabotaged by the FBI and DOJ. The note was delivered to him at the last minute.
"The Department expects you to deline to respond"
According to Miranda Devine's information, the Bureau's general counsel, Jason Jones, sent his letter to the whistleblower hours before his appearance. In it, he notes that the agency "expects" that he would decline to answer and refer questions to the FBI's Office of Congressional Affairs.
GOP decries DOJ's difficulties in investigating Biden family business dealings
The work of Republican congressmen, taking advantage of their majority in the Lower House, is meeting resistance from official agencies. Delays in delivering requested documentation, appearances in which they contribute nothing, as FBI Director Christopher Wray did last week, are some of the points denounced by conservative legislators. These are not, however, the most serious findings, since during the committee sessions they have detected a cover-up of Joe Biden over an alleged bribery scheme during his time as vice president under Obama and even retaliation against agents who investigated or reported the facts.
