House Oversight Chairbilly James Comer and spandex-wearing grapple-freak Jim Jordan on Tuesday sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland claiming they “learned from Special Counsel David Weiss’s filing that the Justice Department is apparently investigating Internal Revenue Service (‘IRS’) Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and Special Agent Joseph Ziegler for their protected whistleblower disclosures to Congress related to the Department’s handling of the Hunter Biden investigation. Hunter Biden and his lawyers have waged an aggressive intimidation campaign against Mr Shapley and Mr Ziegler, slandering them with false allegations and demanding that the Justice Department investigate them for making protected disclosures to Congress…”

“…Litigation counsel Mark Daly and two Assistant US Attorneys demanding that the whistleblowers be investigated. Hunter Biden’s current attorney, Abbe Lowell, sent a similar letter to Special Counsel Weiss on August 14, 2023, again falsely claiming that Mr Shapley and Mr Ziegler acted illegally in disclosing information to Congress and demanding that they be investigated. The Department appears to have been receptive to the intimidation campaign of Hunter Biden’s lawyers.”

“On March 11, 2024, Special Counsel Weiss applied for an order to seal the Department’s unredacted brief opposing Hunter Biden’s motion to dismiss the charges against him on the grounds that it ‘relates to a potential ongoing investigation(s)…’ The redacted portion of the Department’s brief is in a paragraph about guidance from the IRS on whistleblowing options distributed to IRS employees, ‘including Shapley and Ziegler,’ suggesting that the whistleblowers may be subjects of the purported ongoing investigation. Given that the whistleblowers’ disclosures were lawful, if they are under investigation for their protected disclosures to Congress, the Committees are concerned that such an investigation is an attempt to seek retribution against these two brave whistleblowers.”

TLDR: They’re screaming “STOP PROSECUTING OUR WITNESSES FOR BREAKING THE LAW!”
