Two IRS whistleblowers have dropped a bombshell on a popular podcast, alleging jaw-dropping corruption tied to the Biden family.
In a stunning Pod Force One interview, IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler unpacked their years-long investigation into Hunter Biden’s financial dealings, claiming unprecedented influence and obstruction that was ultimately buried by a presidential pardon, as the New York Post reports.
Let’s rewind to the start of this saga, where Shapley and Ziegler, now in IRS leadership roles, dug into Hunter Biden’s $1.4 million tax delinquency over a five-year probe.
During their investigation, they uncovered Hunter’s role on the board of Burisma Holdings in Ukraine, raking in up to $1 million despite no apparent industry expertise.
Texts from Hunter’s laptop -- verified as authentic during a felony gun trial in Delaware in June 2024 -- along with House Republican findings, suggested meetings between then-Vice President Joe Biden and foreign business associates linked to Hunter.
Yet, when Hunter testified before the House Oversight Committee in February 2024, he flat-out denied his father’s involvement in any business dealings. It's a claim that public opinion surveys suggest most Americans doubt.
Ziegler didn’t hold back on the podcast. He stated, “Throughout the investigation, we heard about Joe Biden coming into the FBI office. I mean, it was really, really concerning from like, ‘Is this honestly the best place to work this tax investigation?’”
That’s a polite way of saying the fix might have been in, and it raises serious questions about whether political clout clouded a supposedly impartial probe in Delaware’s tight-knit community.
Shapley echoed the concern, alleging, “The scale here and the amount of access that the family had, and it goes on and on, but the scale is really unprecedented.”
Fast forward to September 2024, when Hunter pleaded guilty to felony tax offenses in federal court, only to dodge sentencing in a separate gun case thanks to a full, unconditional pardon from President Joe Biden in December 2024.
No jail time for Hunter, and the whistleblowers argue this move conveniently swept uncharged accusations. It's like failing to register as a foreign agent for deals in Ukraine, Romania, and China -- under the proverbial rug.
Adding fuel to the fire, statutes of limitations lapsed on potential charges tied to Ukraine funds and Foreign Agents Registration Act violations during David Weiss’s time as special counsel and Delaware U.S. Attorney.
Then there’s the curious case of Kevin Morris, Hunter’s so-called “sugar brother,” who shelled out $6.5 million for legal fees and $2 million toward that tax delinquency before charges even hit.
Ziegler’s affidavit from May 2024, produced by the House Ways and Means Committee, even hinted at CIA involvement in blocking interviews with Morris, while allegations surfaced of pressure on the Department of Homeland Security to secure a visa for a Chinese energy executive tied to Hunter’s dealings.
While Joe Biden dismissed claims of unethical behavior as “a bunch of lies” in December 2023, the whistleblowers’ book, “The Whistleblowers vs. The Big Guy,” published on November 11, 2024, paints a very different picture -- one of a family allegedly leveraging power for profit, leaving taxpayers to wonder who’s really calling the shots in Washington.
