[Whistleblower] Shapley said that, prior to the interview with [Hunter Biden business associate Rob] Walker, “we had
obvious questions like who was H, who the big guy was, and why this
percentage was to be held separately with the association hidden.” But
the whistleblower said that Delaware assistant U.S. attorney Lesley Wolf
“interjected and said she did not want to ask about the big guy” and
stated that she did not want to ask questions about "dad."
The
whistleblower said that “when multiple people in the room spoke up and
objected that we had to ask, she responded, there's no specific
criminality to that line of questioning.” Shapley said, “This upset the
FBI too.”
“There were multiple times where Lesley Wolf said that
she didn't want to ask questions about dad,” Shapley said. “We referred
to Hunter Biden's father, you know, as dad.”
Shapley quoted the
Delaware prosecutor as saying, “I don't want to talk about the big guy. I
don't want to ask about dad. … Don't ask about the big guy.”
Shapley
said, “The IRS and FBI agents conducting this interview [of Walker]
tried to skirt AUSA Wolf's direction.” He added that the FBI agent tried
to get Walker to talk about the email “while not directly
contradicting” the direction by Wolf not to ask about “the big guy.”
The
IRS whistleblower argued that “based on guidance provided by the
prosecutors on a recurring basis to not look into anything related to
President Biden, there is no way of knowing if evidence of other
criminal activity existed concerning Hunter Biden or President Biden.”
The whistleblower said that “in August 2020, we got the results back
from an iCloud search warrant” and that “the messages included material
we clearly needed to follow up on.” Shapley said that “nevertheless,
prosecutors denied investigators' requests to develop a strategy to look
into the messages and denied investigators' suggestion to obtain
location information to see where the texts were sent from.”
