In response to the whistleblowers who alleged that the IRS gave preferential treatment to first son Hunter Biden being abruptly taken off the case last week in what appeared to be an obvious retaliatory move, Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Daniel Werfel said that it wasn't his call.
"The IRS whistleblower you reference alleges that the change in their work assignment came at the direction of the Department of Justice. As a general matter and not in reference to any specific case, I believe it is important to emphasize that in any matter involving federal judicial proceedings, the IRS follows the direction of the Justice Department."
As RedState's Bonchie reported last week, a whistleblower claimed that the entire IRS team working on the Hunter Biden probe was removed from the case.
The whistleblower's attorneys formally alleged that the move was "Clearly retaliatory" in a letter to Congress soon after.
As I reported in April, an IRS watchdog turned whistleblower alleged that federal prosecutors engaged in "Preferential treatment and politics" in their treatment of President Joe Biden's son Hunter-and even tried to block criminal tax charges against him.
On Monday, a second whistleblower was revealed who worked under the original informant and who backed his claims.
There are multiple whistleblowers over at the FBI alleging corruption within its ranks.
