   IRS Whistleblowers Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and Special   
   Agent Joe Ziegler made the following statement after President Biden   
   pardoned his son, Hunter Biden.   
      
   “No amount of lies or spin can hide the simple truth that the Justice   
   Department nearly let the President’s son off the hook for multiple   
   felonies. We did our duty, told the truth, and followed the law. Anyone   
   reading the President’s excuses now should remember that Hunter Biden   
   admitted to his tax crimes in federal court, that Hunter Biden’s attorneys   
   have targeted us for our lawful whistleblower disclosures, and that we are   
   suing one of those attorneys for smearing us with false accusations.   
      
   “President Biden has the power to put his thumb on the scales of justice   
   for his son, but at least he had to do it with a pardon explicitly for all   
   the world to see rather than his political appointees doing it secretly   
   behind the scenes. Either way it is a sad day for law abiding taxpayers to   
   witness this special privilege for the powerful.”
