The IRS Whistleblowers Come Forward -- The Biden DOJ's Interference in the Hunter Biden Investigation Is Manifest Corruption.

Part One regarding Whistleblower 1 -- The Case Agent who spent nearly 5 years building the tax case (and more) against Hunter Biden and the Biden Family.

This article is a recap — with commentary from me — of the transcribe interviews of the two IRS whistleblowers who have come forward regarding the investigation of Hunter Biden and the sweetheart deal cut for him by the Biden DOJ. Please forgive in advance any remaining typos and use of shorthand references where they appear. Speed was a consideration in trying to get this article completed.

Part One is going to deal with a Whistleblower 1 (WB1) who is not named in the documents released. He is a 12 year IRS employee who is a Special Agent with the Criminal Investigation Division (CID). Those are armed special agents with the power to arrest, just like FBI or DEA Agents. But their investigatory jurisdiction is limited to tax laws and some related financial statues like money laundering. They tend to have finance and accounting backgrounds which play right into the investigative work they do.

WB2 is the supervisor of WB1, and his name has already been made public — Gary Shapely. He as the Supervisory Special Agent of the IRS investigative group that WB1 was a member of. He was not the squad supervisor in 2018 when the investigation was first started, but he took over the squad during the heart of the investigation and was the Supervisor at key times in 2022 when critical decisions were made the seemingly compromised the investigation. A detailed look at WB2’s interview transcript will be in Part Two coming shortly.

There were numerous members of both the GOP Majority and Dem. Minority Staff present for the interview. One thing that was noteworthy is the lack of any significant effort by the Minority staff during questioning to challenge the central claims made by WB1. They were either unprepared to do so, or members of the Dem. Minority on the Committee decided to exercise extreme caution in how far they would go in seeking to defend Hunter Biden without more information on where that path might lead them.

WB1 has been outed — both by name and the fact that he is a married gay man. He describes himself as not politically active but his views run in the direction of the Democrat party. In 2018 he was newly assigned to an international tax squad — focusing on foreign earned income of US citizens and businesses — that operated out of IRS offices in Washington DC. Because of the nature of the work, his squad did not focus on where venue for prosecution of their cases might end up. That was sometimes an issue not resolved until late in an investigation. As a result, the squad of 12 CID Agents had cases indicted in districts all across the country. But the squad had never worked case filed in the District of Delaware, and no one was familiar with the US Attorney’s Office in that district. The information they did get from others more familiar with the office was that it was small and tended to slow-walk cases in order to minimize the stress of a heavy workload.

Before I give you the recap of WB1’s testimony, let me preface what your are about to read with a few observations:

1. This information only scratches the surface of this matter. The whistleblower protections given to these two individuals have limitations with regard to what they can disclose to Congress and what can be made public. They are not allowed to disclose GJ information covered by Rule 6(e). They are limited in what they can disclose about the facts of their investigation. What they can discuss in some detail is the ways they allege their efforts were hampered, what government actors were involved, and why they think it happened.
