A new legal filing from Hunter Biden’s lawyers suggests Biden and the Department of Justice are seeking revenge on the IRS whistleblowers who helped force the Bidens family’s misconduct into the public eye and turn them against each other in the courts.
The filing comes in a case Hunter Biden brought against the IRS, effectively targeting its whistleblower agents, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who came forward last summer to expose how federal law enforcement tanked the investigation and prosecution of Hunter Biden and others associated with the Biden family’s international influence-peddling operation.
Knowing the DOJ’s faux pursuit of the president’s son was about to be exposed, the Justice Department rushed to cook up a sweetheart plea deal with Hunter. It was a transparent bid to protect him from serious legal peril with any sort of connection to his father — insulating the president while allowing the DOJ to save face by acting like it was doing something about Hunter’s obvious lawbreaking.
When the sham plea deal fell apart under Delaware Judge Maryellen Noreika’s questioning, she forced the Justice Department’s hand. To fix a disastrous situation, Attorney General Merrick Garland elevated U.S. Attorney David Weiss, the lead prosecutor on the spiked Hunter Biden “case,” to special counsel. After years of shielding the Bidens and running out statutes of limitation on serious crimes, his team brought Hunter on gun charges in Delaware and tax evasion charges in the pending California case — charges still at a remove from the Biden family
