Attorney for IRS Whistleblowers Responds to Lawsuit Filed by Hunter Biden's Attorneys
Katie wrote this week that Hunter Biden’s attorneys have decided to use the nuclear option: they’re suing the IRS for failing to protect their client’s privileged information. The legal drama for the president’s son doesn’t stop with the IRS. He was recently indicted on gun charges by Special Counsel David Weiss, the same felonies he almost skated away scot-free, based on a failed plea deal Weiss had a hand in crafting. The IRS whistleblowers nuked that agreement with their July testimony:

Hunter Biden is suing the Internal Revenue Service, arguing whistleblower testimony from career agents was meant to embarrass him and was a violation of his privacy.
"President Biden’s son Hunter Biden filed a lawsuit Monday against the Internal Revenue Service, charging that when agents who were investigating him told Congress and news reporters about their concerns that the case was not being managed properly, they violated his privacy rights as a taxpayer," the Washington Post reports. "Biden charges in the lawsuit that when two IRS agents went to Congress and news organizations complaining of alleged mishandling of the investigation by Justice Department officials, they disclosed information about the investigation, and about Biden’s taxes, that the law aims to keep secret."
The attorneys for the president’s son did not have a successful counterattack when IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler offered credible testimony in July concerning Department of Justice interference in their investigations into Hunter Biden.
Shapley outright contradicted statements offered by Attorney General Merrick Garland regarding the independence of these probes. Both men gave House Democrats fits during their hearing, incapable of debunking or refuting any of their claims. Hunter Biden’s attorneys threw the first punch, alleging that Shapley had leaked sensitive information about Hunter Biden to The Washington Post. Shapley denied the accusation and permitted the Post to release any electronic communications if they so chose to corroborate his affidavit. Shapley also said the information he obtained was legally acquired through a search warrant.
