DOJ team "investigating" Hunty Biden was totally replaced just before DOJ offered sweetheart plea deal

People are now questioning a highly unusual move by Merrick Garland's DOJ in the Hunty Biden case (tax fraud and lying on a firearms purchase form)--a move which reeks of corruption.

When the U.S. Attorney's office for Delaware filed the charges in the case, it listed as the prosecutorial team three people *who had not been involved in the case or the investigation in any way:* Assistant US Attorneys Leo Wise, Derek Hines, and Benjamin Wallace.  

By contrast, the people who had been investigating Hunty's crimes for awhile -- AUSAs Lesley Wolf, Shawn Weede, and Shannon Hanson--weren't listed, raising the question of why the team that knew the facts of the case were pulled off right before trivial charges were filed against Hunty.

A lawyer for IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley said, "None of the three [new prosecutors] were involved in the underlying investigation, to my knowledge."

One of the prosecutors listed on Weiss's letter, Assistant US Attorney Ben Wallace, only joined the Delaware office in March of this year, so could not have had any involvement in the actual investigation of illegal acts.

Another member of the new group--Derek Hines--worked from 2013 to 2015 as 'special counsel' to one of Hunter's business partners, ex-FBI director Louis Freeh.  That's an obvious conflict of interest.

The third member of the new group--AUSA Leo Wise-- was moved to the Delaware office after being demoted from Chief of the Public Corruption and Fraud Unit at the Maryland US Attorney's Office to a mere line prosecutor in the same unit in March, the Baltimore Sun reported.  It's almost as though the Delaware office was sweeping in bodies who could be counted on to do whatever was needed to whitewash the case.

When the IRS whistleblowers testified to Congress in May, they noted that AUSA Wolf told investigators they weren't allowed to ask who the "Big Guy" was. Wolf also decided against a search warrant for the guest house at Joe Biden's Wilmington, Delaware home, where Hunter was living at one point, because it would be "bad optics."

The suspicion is that Garland's DOJ wanted to remove all the attorneys who'd investigated Hunty from the case before the corrupt DOJ offered him the outrageously generous plea deal, so the new "prosecutors" could say "Oh, we didn't know anything about X" and the removed people wouldn't be implicated in the sweetheart deal.

The DOJ is clearly trying to hide removed AUSA Wolf, in hopes that the House won't ask him if he ordered the things the whistleblowers claimed.  But the House has made it clear they want to talk to Wolf.
