Hunter Biden Investigation: Six Takeaways from the IRS Whistleblower Hearing
“From my perspective, being someone who has liberal beliefs — I am a Democrat — I was kind of disappointed. I was kind of disappointed that the other side of the aisle didn’t care about what we came there to say,” Ziegler said. “That’s the thing that struck me the most from yesterday is that it seemed like there were certain people that really didn’t care we had to present it to Congress, and that disappointed me.”
Kelly pointed out that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) presented photos from Hunter Biden’s laptop of himself engaging in sex acts. Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH) addressed the pair with questions about black people being audited by the IRS more often than nonblack people.
“Being in this hearing yesterday, I thought that there were good questions from both sides and there were unfair questions from both sides. Also, there were opportunities where I was asked a question, and I just wasn’t allowed to finish,” said Shapley, who identified himself as a conservative. ”I guess it’s just business as usual there. I just took it with a grain of salt and focused on the facts. At the end of the day, they just couldn’t attack the facts because they can’t take the facts.”

In the days leading up to the hearing, Ziegler chose to remain anonymous. He admitted to Kelly that he did not vote for Biden due to his knowledge about Biden’s family, anticipating that he could be questioned about his vote if the issue went to trial.
Shapley, on the other hand, assured that he had never contributed to a campaign or displayed a political sign on his lawn. When news outlets revealed his identity and political ideology, he claimed that his mother was unaware of his Republican registration.
