Democrats and Republicans on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability agreed that both witnesses featured in Wednesday’s IRS Biden Tax Investigation Whistleblowers hearing are highly professional, honest, hard-working and dedicated career public servants.

But they agreed on virtually nothing else discussed during the lengthy and occasionally tense hearing, including especially on the central issue of whether or not federal officials at the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) prevented the two men — both deeply experienced and respected criminal tax investigators — from properly investigating massive evidence that President Joe Biden and members of his family led by son Hunter have for at least the past decade received millions of dollars from foreign sources in return for access to key U.S. policymakers without properly reporting the income or paying taxes on it.
