The IRS agents who blew the whistle on the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office for protecting President Joe Biden’s son are not under investigation, but those who allegedly retaliated against the whistleblowers are. This shocking revelation follows court filings by Delaware U.S. Attorney-cum-Special Prosecutor David Weiss which indicated the whistleblowers’ “conduct” was the subject of a possible investigation.

On Tuesday, the legal team for IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler sent a letter to the Department of Justice’s Inspector General and the Office of Professional Responsibility, requesting they investigate Special Counsel Weiss’s office “for falsely suggest[ing] to the public that some unnamed agency was investigating the conduct of the whistleblowers” when in fact, it was the individuals who allegedly retaliated against the whistleblowers that are the target of the investigation. 

Accompanying the referral to the DOJ IG and Office of Professional Responsibility, was a five-page letter that detailed the context of Weiss’s alleged deception. That five-page letter was sent by Shapley and Ziegler’s lawyers to the entity investigating the whistleblowers’ claims of retaliation, namely the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, or “OSC” — a separate office charged with investigating retaliation claims, not to be confused with Weiss’ Office of Special Counsel. 

As the letter to the OSC detailed, in a response to a motion filed by Hunter Biden in his pending criminal tax fraud case, Special Counsel Weiss wrote that “IRS agents, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, . . . . have made unsubstantiated claims that prosecutors’ decision-making in this

New federal regulations that would effectively force employers and employees to use transgender pronouns are illegal, says a lawsuit filed by 18 states against the Democrat-run executive agency.

Filed on Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, the lawsuit brought by Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti and 17 other attorneys general contends that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC’s) unilateral move to extend the 1964 Civil Rights Act’s Title VII protections to include so-called “gender identity” represents an unlawful attempt to “enshrine sweeping gender-identity mandates without congressional consent.”

“In America, the Constitution gives the power to make laws to the people’s elected representatives, not to unaccountable commissioners, and this EEOC guidance is an attack on our constitutional separation of powers,” Skrmetti said in a statement. “When, as here, a federal agency engages in government over the people instead of government by the people, it undermines the legitimacy of our laws and alienates Americans from our legal system.”

According to the suit, the “Enforcement Document” the EEOC released on April 29 “requires all covered employers and employees to use others’ preferred pronouns; allow transgender individuals to use the shower, locker room, or restroom that corresponds to their gender identity; and refrain from requiring employees to adhere to the dress code that corresponds to their biological sex.”

The agency justified its new guidance by citing the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2020 decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, written by Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch and joined by Chief Justice John Roberts along

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced a pro-life activist on Tuesday to 57 months in prison and three years supervision for her participation in a peaceful pro-life protest at one the capital city’s most controversial abortion facilities.

Lauren Handy, 30, was one of several members of the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU), a primarily leftist organization with a pro-life streak, who initiated a “rescue and protest” at late-term abortionist Cesare Santangelo’s Washington, D.C., facility in October 2020.

“Some simply kneeled and prayed at Santangelo’s facility, some passed out pro-life literature and counseled abortion-minded women, and others roped and chained themselves together inside the facility,” Handy’s lawyers at the Thomas More Society noted.

Handy, PAAU’s director of Activism and Mutual Aid, decided to protest at Santangelo’s facility in particular after she heard him admit on an undercover video that he “would not help” a baby born alive after a botched abortion.

“My belief that was formed after watching the video was if the fetus survived the abortion attempt, they were left to die,” Handy told the court during witness testimony.

Handy was also among those who recovered a box of five dead preemie-sized babies outside of Santagelo’s facility. The discovery of the “D.C. Five” should have prompted an investigation into Santangelo’s possibly illegal abortion methods. Instead, it put Handy at risk for more scrutiny from law enforcement and pro-abortion Democrats.

Nearly two years after the October protest, Biden’s DOJ charged Handy and nine other advocates for life with allegedly violating the unconstitutional Freedom
