BREAKING NOW: Raising more questions than answers, Hunter Biden has finally acknowledged he was fighting a losing battle without the support of his father in the White House.
Specifically, Hunter dropped his legal fight against two IRS whistleblowers who exposed preferential treatment in his tax investigation.
This sudden retreat comes after the whistleblowers accused the Justice Department of deliberately blocking their probe into Hunter.
In a move that whistleblowers say “tells you everything you need to know,” Hunter filed a voluntary dismissal of his lawsuit against IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler.
The lawsuit, which had claimed the agents improperly disclosed confidential tax information, was dismissed with prejudice, meaning Hunter cannot refile it in the future.
The dismissal came shortly after Hunter’s attorneys filed a motion to withdraw from representing him in the case, though no specific reason was provided for abandoning the lawsuit.
Both whistleblowers had maintained from the beginning that the legal action was nothing more than an intimidation tactic designed to silence them after they spoke out about special treatment.
Shapley and Ziegler had previously voiced their concerns about the handling of Hunter’s tax investigation to both Congress and the Office of Special Counsel.
Their allegations centered around what they described as deliberate delays and obstruction within the Justice Department’s investigation of Hunter.
“It’s always been clear that the lawsuit was an attempt to intimidate us. Intimidation and retaliation were never going to work,” the whistleblowers said.
“We truly wanted our day in court to provide the complete story, but it appears Mr. Biden was afraid to actually fight this case in a court of law after all,” they added.
The Department of Justice eventually charged Hunter with tax fraud after his original plea deal collapsed under judicial scrutiny.
The charges included allegations that he evaded roughly $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019.
During this period, Hunter reportedly earned millions from foreign business dealings in countries like Ukraine and China while his father served as vice president.
Attorneys for Shapley and Ziegler celebrated the lawsuit’s dismissal as vindication for the whistleblowers who risked their careers to expose what they saw as corruption at the highest levels of government.
“Hunter Biden brought this lawsuit against two honorable federal agents in retaliation for blowing the whistle on the preferential treatment he was given,” they stated.
Many conservative commentators have pointed to the case as evidence of the “deep state” protection that appeared to shield the Biden family until whistleblowers forced the issue into the public eye.
For many who have followed the Hunter saga through years of apparent inaction by the Justice Department, this dismissal represents further confirmation that the original whistleblower allegations were valid.
The sudden abandonment of the lawsuit against Shapley and Ziegler, who had been eager to present their evidence in court, speaks volumes about which side was prepared to defend their claims under oath.
