We should \u200cbe able \u2062to do all the proper\u200d procedures,&#8221; \u200dZiegler stated\u2062 during an interview\u2064 on Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I understand that\u200b this was a \u200c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wnba-superstar-brittney-griner-heads-to-sham-trial-russian-court-system-under-microscope\/\" title=\"WNBA Superstar Brittney Griner Heads to \u201cSham Trial,\u201d Russian Court System Under Microscope\">politically sensitive case<\/a>, but at the end of\u200c the day,\u200c it was a\u2063 matter of, &#8216;No, you can&#8217;t do that. Let&#8217;s think about it.&#8217; And at the \u200cend of\u2062 the day, we weren&#8217;t following all the evidence \u200cthat we should have,&#8221; Ziegler added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The whistleblowers accused\u200c Delaware Assistant U.S. Attorney\u200d Lesley\u200c Wolf of \u200bobstructing their\u200d team from further investigating the case. \u2062Ziegler \u2064specifically mentioned a \u2064disagreement with \u200dWolf regarding the search \u2062warrant for a\u200b storage\u200c unit in northern Virginia that held documents from Hunter Biden&#8217;s office.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ziegler, Wolf prevented \u2063the agents from searching the storage unit and \u2063gave Hunter Biden&#8217;s lawyers notice about the intent to investigate, which hindered their\u200b progress.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We \u200cdidn&#8217;t have a seat at \u200cthe table,&#8221; Ziegler explained. He referred to \u2064this incident as \u2063a &#8220;defining moment&#8221; that revealed the \u2064investigation was not following proper procedures.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ziegler, an IRS special agent with a decade\u2063 of experience, handled a majority \u2062of the tax evidence in \u2063the Hunter Biden investigation. He testified alongside another IRS whistleblower, Gary Shapley, before \u200cthe House Oversight Committee.<\/p>\n<p>The committee heard their allegations that the Justice Department favored Hunter Biden in the criminal investigation and that more serious \u2064charges should have been pursued. Hunter\u200c Biden recently reached an agreement with prosecutors to plead\u2064 guilty to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-lawyer-calls-irs-whistleblower-a-criminal\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Lawyer Calls IRS Whistleblower a Criminal\">misdemeanor tax charges<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;In August of 2022,\u200b all four assigned prosecutors agreed to recommend prosecution of felony and misdemeanor charges,&#8221; Ziegler\u2063 revealed. He emphasized the presence of &#8220;a ton\u200d of evidence that showed willfulness&#8221; in the case.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you work a criminal case, there&#8217;s a thing called willfulness, whether someone intentionally with knowledge either \u200bevaded their income taxes \u2062or filed a false return,&#8221; Ziegler explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On Thursday, Senator Chuck Grassley released \u200dan internal FBI document that allegedly implicated President Joe Biden in a bribery scheme during his vice presidency. Ziegler acknowledged the\u2063 importance of this document in further validating evidence in the case.<\/p>\n<p>Ziegler, a Democrat who has faced\u200c backlash \u2063from his own\u2062 party for coming forward, emphasized the need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/whistleblower-x-details-unusual-roadblocks-in-hunter-biden-investigation\/\" title=\"Whistleblower X exposes hurdles in Hunter Biden probe.\">treat taxpayers equally<\/a> and \u200censure justice is served.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler, assigned to the Hunter Biden case, criticized the Department of Justice&#8217;s slow response to the investigation.
