TOP LINE:

This morning, we launched our investigation into alleged government corruption @X.

Exclusive: First interview with the IRS whistleblowers after Hunter Biden’s September conviction in the felony and misdemeanor tax case.

IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler reveal that IRS, Justice Department, FBI knew the laptop “was real” immediately and claim prosecutors told them not to ask questions about Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 election.

Based on their firsthand experience, the whistleblowers allege there is disparate treatment of taxpayers by the IRS (more hurdles and approvals for the elite,) and a double standard at the Justice Department for the handling of presidential campaigns (think recent Special Counsel Jack Smith filing.)

We also obtained this internal IRS email that shows the whistleblowers supervisor celebrating the Hunter Biden guilty plea, calling it a “great conviction,” after Shapley and Ziegler say there were retaliated against by the IRS for exposing double standards and preferential treatment.

Grateful for reaction coming in from congressional committees, Elon Musk and others. We will go in depth this weekend.

Thank you for supporting journalism with impact!
