The House Oversight Committee announced late yesterday that there would be whistleblower testimony at today’s hearing, and that it would be about the IRS and the DOJ failing to equally enforce the law regarding the Hunter Biden case.

One of the whistleblowers scheduled to testify is IRS agent Gary Shapley, whose identity has already been revealed and who has given multiple interviews – with receipts – at this point. The other whistleblower has only been called “Whistleblower X” up to this point, but his identity was scheduled to be revealed during testimony today. Before testifying, his opening statement was published, which also described him as an IRS Criminal Investigation Division agent of 13 years, and a “gay Democrat married to a man.” Talk about blowing up a few narratives.

But according to his opening statement, Whistleblower X was upset that Hunter Biden got a pass, because he believes in equal treatment under the law, not special favors because of “the Big Guy.”

“I have witnessed the corrosion of ethical standards and the abuse of power that threaten our nation. It is within this context that I have chosen to shed light on these actions and expose those responsible. I recognize that while I was present at the start of this investigation and was closely involved with the investigation for roughly five years — that I am just a part of the story,” the planned opening statement from the whistleblower says. “My aim is to address systemic problems that have allowed misconduct to flourish. It is not a call for blame but a call for accountability and reform.”

The whistleblower added that he had worked at the IRS since 2010, saying he was “risking his career” by coming forward.”

“I believe that the Delaware USAO and DOJ-Tax have a clear target on me and my supervisors back and I believe that they are just waiting for an opportunity to pounce on us. My own agency retaliated against me and threatened me with criminal conduct in response to an internal email I sent to IRS leadership, even after years of essentially being left on an island when it came to this investigation,” he wrote.”

He also disputed several statements made by U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who is in charge of the Hunter prosecution case, saying that Hunter should face more serious criminal charges.”

“If the Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss followed DOJ policy as he stated in his most recent letter, Hunter Biden should have been charged with a tax felony, and not only the tax misdemeanor charge. We need to treat each taxpayer the same under law,” he wrote.”

Just as a reminder of what Hunter Biden will be pleading guilty to next week, and how you, the average citizen, accused of the same crimes, would not be getting a gentle slap on the wrist and no jail time.

i am once again asking anyone who doesn’t believe hunter biden received special treatment how they explain a five year DOJ investigation results in just two misdemeanor tax charges https://t.co/oE7tK8HGtT

And the White House very much does not want people or the press to pay attention to the House Oversight whistleblower testimony today.

This was completely intentional on Karine Jean-Pierre’s part, as it will give her an entire day to come up with a deflection or a lie instead of being put on the spot regarding today’s testimony.

The real problem isn’t that we have the whistleblowers testifying, or that the White House is trying to duck and dodge. The first problem is that the press has collectively decided that Hunter’s sins are really about how great a dad Joe is, and even if Hunter was caught holding cocaine and a bag of cash, the press would sigh and say, “But Joe is such a great dad, how can the Republicans even bring this up?” And as every single one of us knows, no Republican would get a similar pass if their adult offspring had been a chronic drug abuser, frequenter of sex clubs, and broken tax laws.

The second problem is that the GOP has been holding a LOT of hearings. Great. At what point do we actually see ACTION? No, Congress can’t prosecute Hunter Biden. But it can impeach Merrick Garland. It can impeach Joe Biden. We can’t seem to get anything moving, and yes, the Senate would be unlikely to convict. So what??? It’s time to put all the Democrats on the hot seat and force them to defend the Hunter Biden double standard if they choose to protect Merrick Garland! I can appreciate all the evidence being gathered, but this is not a science fair, where the best trifold display wins a ribbon. Republicans in the House promised accountability. We the People would like to see it.

So yes, the whistleblower testimony today is important. But what happens next is equally important. And quite frankly, I think we’re all tired of watching the Deep State get away with protecting their own.

Victory Girls will be updating this post as the hearing commences and as new information is revealed, so stay tuned.

UPDATE 2:30 PM ET
Whistleblower X has been identified as IRS agent Joseph Ziegler. He apparently gave an interview to CBS News’s Catherine Herridge that is now being released as he testifies.

It appears some people are above the law. https://t.co/9NifO5phVT

Rebutting Ziegler will not be easy for the media or the Democrats… so it seems like they will simply ignore that anything is happening at all.

Two IRS whistleblowers are currently testifying before Congress, under oath, about the multi-pronged pressure applied by the DOJ to protect Hunter Biden from more serious prosecution.

Nobody watching CNN or MSNBC would, of course, have any idea that this is happening.
