IRS commissioner denies intervening to retaliate against whistleblowers connected to Hunter Biden complaint
2023-05-24
[FoxNews] Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Daniel Werfel denied intervening to retaliate against whistleblowers in connection with the Hunter Biden complaint, according to a letter he sent to the majority and minority on the House Ways and Means Committee.

Fox News obtained the letter sent by Werfel on May 17 in which he responded to concerns that whistleblowers may have faced retaliation for voicing concerns about the probe into the business dealings of Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden.

"I want to state unequivocally that I have not intervened – and will not intervene – in any way that would impact the status of any whistleblower," Werfel said.
"Now my Deputy and Staff? Who knows what those rascals do"
However, the letter states that the particular whistleblower referenced by Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., in their initial letter experienced a change in work assignment at the direction of the Department of Justice.

#9  Not sure the Pubs will. In general, they don't play nearly as dirty as the Dems/Left. And many are limp Richards.

#8  The Pubs need to stay on offense and do what the Dems do. The Pubs have the power of the purse. Starve a few agencies of funds until they come around.

#4  Do they teach slimy bureaucrats somewhere how to tell bold-faced lies with a straight face? Oh, wait, Camp Peary, maybe?

No need for that. Sociopaths are born that way.
