An IRS Whistleblower Calls for Special Counsel in Hunter Biden Criminal Probe
An IRS whistleblower has recently demanded the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the criminal probe involving Hunter Biden. The whistleblower, Joseph Ziegler, testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and expressed his concerns about the Justice Department obstructing the investigation.
“Justice officials prevented investigators from following the evidence. Appointing a special counsel would create a path for the investigation to continue with integrity. I hope transparency will restore public confidence in the idea that every U.S. taxpayer receives equal treatment under the law. Sweetheart deals shouldn’t be handed out like candy to the rich, powerful, and politically connected,” Ziegler wrote in an opinion column for the Wall Street Journal.
Ziegler further criticized the Department of Justice for rushing to charge the case against Hunter Biden and failing to follow standard investigative processes. This criticism comes after Delaware U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika postponed a decision on the plea deal due to concerns about the terms, including provisions about immunity for future prosecution.
While Republicans have differing opinions on whether a special counsel should be appointed, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) expressed his lack of confidence in Attorney General Merrick Garland’s ability to appoint an impartial special counsel. Comer, who is leading the House investigation into the Biden family, stated that the Oversight Committee will continue their efforts to prevent public officials and their families from abusing their positions for personal gain.
Some Senate Republicans have also called for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the Biden family’s business dealings. Allegations of a $5 million bribe accepted by then-Vice President Joe Biden from the Ukrainian gas company Burisma have raised concerns among these senators.
With ongoing investigations and demands for transparency, the appointment of a special counsel could provide an independent review of the Hunter Biden criminal probe and ensure the integrity of the investigation.
