IRS Whistleblower Calls Merrick Garland's Bluff, Starts Naming Names

As RedState reported, AG Merrick Garland answered questions on Friday related to the sweetheart deal that was recently given to Hunter Biden.

How did things get to that point? An IRS whistleblower named Gary Shapley has been at the center of exposing the DOJ's cover-up of the matter, and Garland's response was to call him a liar without actually saying it directly.

It's incredibly telling that when given the chance to just say "No," Garland chose to hedge instead. After all, the question isn't just whether Weiss had the authority to make decisions or not, but whether other DOJ officials, including possibly Garland, interfered in those decisions in some way.

So who's telling the truth? In response, Shapley put out a statement via his lawyers that can only be described as calling Garland's bluff.

Astonishingly, Shapley is now actually naming the six witnesses present at the meeting in question, including members of the FBI and IRS investigative teams that were working the Hunter Biden case.

If he weren't telling the truth, there's very little reason to believe Shapley would be naming names and essentially challenging others to go under oath about what was said.

Compare that to Garland's response, which was coy at best, insisting that Weiss had the power to charge in any district while not actually answering whether he was ever stopped from doing so, if even with a "Suggestion" from the upper levels of the DOJ. For my money, the guy who is naming names and who has been willing to go under oath is far more believable than the guy hiding behind weasel phrases while refusing to answer basic questions.
