\u201cBoth SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler have filed whistleblower retaliation claims with OSC, and we understand OSC has requested related documents as part of an investigation into the retaliation claims. Specifically, SSA Shapley has alleged that now-Special Counsel David Weiss began retaliating against Shapley in November 2022 when Weiss learned Shapley had been making protected whistleblower disclosures about Weiss\u2019s office to his IRS chain of command. Those disclosures included allegations Weiss\u2019s office (the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the District of Delaware) engaged in prosecutorial misconduct in the Hunter Biden case by treating Mr. Biden more leniently than similarly situated taxpayers who were not politically connected.\u201d Attorneys for the IRS whistleblowers wrote in a letter<\/a> to the Acting Principal Deputy Special Counsel.<\/p>\n \u201cTwo months ago Special Counsel Weiss filed a document in one of the criminal prosecutions of Hunter Biden drafted and redacted carefully to lead the public to believe SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler were under investigation for potential misconduct. That March 11, 2024 filing opened by stating: \u201c[T]wo IRS agents, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, . . . . have made unsubstantiated claims that prosecutors\u2019 decision-making in this investigation was infected by politics.\u201d The filing continued later: \u201c[A]s described in the attached declaration, Exhibit 2 (filed under seal), the IRS has taken responsible steps to address Shapley\u2019s and Ziegler\u2019s conduct.\u201d Over half of the next page was also redacted. The referenced Exhibit 2 stated the redactions were \u201cto a potential ongoing investigation. . . and the government has filed three exhibits [under seal] that reference a potential ongoing investigation,\u201d the letter stated.<\/p>\n IRS Whistleblowers: In new court filing, government \u201cacknowledged unequivocally for the first time that SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler had not violated the taxpayer privacy laws, as Hunter Biden had falsely alleged.\u201d<\/p>\n Whistleblower legal team asks DOJ IG to investigate Special\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/JCAVJK24EG<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Catherine Herridge (@C__Herridge) May 14, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n Last year two IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley, and Joseph Ziegler, testified on the government prosecutors\u2019 preferential treatment of Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n \nGary Shapley<\/em><\/p>\n \nJoseph Ziegler<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cHunter appeared to follow a pattern of attempting to avoid paying taxes on relevant income.
