IRS Whistleblower Investigation

WM: Meeting on Documents Protected Under Internal Revenue Code Section 6103, June 22, 2023

Hon. Jason B. Smith, Chairman, The Committee on Ways & Means

Re: IRS Whistleblower Investigation

I write today to urge you to end this investigation. 

As you know, enacting a Bill of Attainder is unconstitutional, so this line of inquiry can only be regarded as slander at best and at worst, abuse of power and acting as an accessory to Mr. Jordan's efforts to obstruct Special Counsel Smith's investigation into those events which took place on December 28, 2020 that were likely an element of the Insurrection.

Earlier today, Mr. Giuliani volunteered his testimony to Mr. Smith. Rudy cannot stop talking once he starts, so the involvement of members in the run up to the events of January 6th, which are public knowledge, were likely part of the conversation.

The subject hearing can only be seen as pre-taliation for any actions by Mr. Smith or an attempt to have the President order the end of the investigation. The President does not have the power or the willingness to do so. Note that he already arranged for the firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor which was protecting Burisma from prosecution. If you assume that he knew his son was in the Burisma board, this would hardly earn him father of the year honors. It is therefore unlikely that he would obstruct the January 6th investigation as part of some pride quo pro to benefit the Congressional co-conspirators.

Please do not get caught in this affair. While Hunter Biden is unable to bring suit in this matter due to the Speech and Debate Clause, such abuses of power can be examined by the Committee on Ethics. Although neither Mr. Biden or the President is likely to refer this matter to them, Mrs. Rochester may do so regardless of their silence.
