Joe Biden's Consigliere Merrick Garland Punishes IRS Whistleblower and Entire Team Investigating Hunter Biden's Taxes By Removing Them From Case

The whole purpose of appointing a special prosecutor for cases in which senior members of an administration are personally involved is to insulate the prosecutor from the kind of political interference we're seeing right now.

That's why Merrick Garland refuses to appoint a special prosecutor in a case regarding the president's son -- he wants to interfere. He does not want to give this power to a prosecutor with his own budget who answers to no one but his own conscience.

He knows he has to keep the power in his own hands to work Joe Biden's will.

This is all impeachable. We have to seriously talk about a law that permits the confiscation of these people's pensions.



The Justice Department removed an IRS whistleblower and his entire team from the criminal investigation of Hunter Biden's taxes in what his lawyers described to Congress on Monday as an act of retaliation and possible obstruction of congressional inquiries, according to correspondence to lawmakers obtained by Just the News.

The IRS whistleblower, whose name has not been released, is a decorated supervisory criminal investigative agent who led the team probing the presidential son's tax affairs.

He received whistleblower protection a few weeks ago from Congress and the Justice Department inspector general to disclose evidence he says shows there was political interference in the Hunter Biden probe.

"Today the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Supervisory Special Agent we represent was informed that he and his entire investigative team are being removed from the ongoing and sensitive investigation of the high-profile, controversial subject about which our client sought to make whistleblower disclosures to Congress," the whistleblower's lawyers, Mark Lytle and Tristan Leavitt, wrote in a letter to multiple House and Senate committees. "He was informed the change was at the request of the Department of Justice."

The move stunned lawmakers in Congress, who had just taken action to accept the IRS agent as a whistleblower and were making plans to conduct a transcribed interview with him in coming days, and who had just received assurances from IRS chief Daniel Werfel that there would be no reprisals against the whistleblower.

"This most recent communication concerning allegations of retaliatory actions against a whistleblower, appears to contradict the sworn testimony by Commissioner Werfel who pledged that whistleblower protections would be upheld," House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith told Just the News on Tuesday morning.

"Congress's duty to hold government agencies accountable relies on the availability and willingness of individuals to speak out about wrongdoing," he added. "Not only does retaliation like this discourage whistleblowers, it can also rise to the level of an illegal violation of statutory protections for whistleblowers. I call on Commissioner Werfel to abide by his pledge, quickly provide information to Congress in response to these allegations, and ensure that no action is taken to discourage those who attempt to shine a light on government misconduct."

...


The lawyers noted that federal law prohibits a whistleblower from any reprisals, including "receiving a 'significant change in duties, responsibilities, or working conditions' (which this clearly is) because of his disclosures to Congress."

Lytle and Leavitt asked lawmakers in the House and Senate to begin probing what happened to their client.

Have norms now been restored, Jonah?
