IRS Whistleblower X - revealed as gay Democrat Joe Ziegler - compares coming forward in Hunter case to 'coming out'
IRS Criminal Investigator Joseph Ziegler showed his face for the first time after blowing the whistle on preferential treatment in the Hunter Biden case
Ziegler joined fellow IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley to present their testimony on how they were prevented from carrying out a normal probe into Hunter Biden
Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith made an appearance to insist the IRS is not treating all Americans fairly – specifically those with the last name Biden
Ziegler works in the international tax and financial crimes division and was the lead agent on the Hunter Biden investigation. He says that he acknowledges he is 'risking my career' by coming forward and said that he has been called a 'traitor to the Democratic Party.'
The whistleblower said that he was told he would get in 'hot water' if he tried to speak with President Joe Biden's adult grandchildren and was prevented from carrying out those interviews in his investigation. 'I've never been told that we could not approach someone to interview them as a part of an investigation,' he told Congress, noting the abnormal treatment on the probe when compared to investigations of other Americans.
