Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), \u200dJames Comer (R-KY), and\u2062 Jason Smith\u2064 (R-MO)\u2062 have asked Attorney General Merrick\u200d Garland to provide any communications received from\u2062 Biden&#8217;s lawyers regarding the \u2063punishment \u2064of two IRS\u2064 criminal investigators who spoke to Congress.<\/p>\n<h3>Intimidation Tactics by Hunter\u2063 Biden&#8217;s\u2063 Legal Team<\/h3>\n<p>In a letter obtained by \u200cthe \u2062Washington Examiner, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-plea-house-gop-investigates-troubling-provisions-of-doj-deal\/\" title=\"House GOP investigates 'troubling' aspects of Hunter Biden's plea in DOJ deal.\">chairmen expressed concern<\/a> over Hunter Biden&#8217;s legal team&#8217;s attempts \u200dto intimidate \u2064and harass \u2062the brave\u2063 IRS whistleblowers\u200c who exposed\u200c irregularities in the Department&#8217;s investigation. They referred to a \u200cNew\u2063 York Times report\u200d that revealed confidential correspondence between\u200b special counsel David Weiss and Biden&#8217;s lawyers.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, Biden&#8217;s lawyers argued that the IRS whistleblowers broke the \u2062law\u200d by disclosing investigation details to \u2062Congress and should face\u2064 prosecution. The chairmen\u2063 also highlighted a letter from Abbe Lowell, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/if-i-could-buy-my-freakin-groceries-at-home-depot-i-would-critics-rip-boycott-of-home-depot-for-not-slamming-ga-voter-law\/\" title=\"\u2018If I Could Buy My Freakin\u2019 Groceries At Home Depot, I Would!\u2019: Critics Rip Boycott Of Home Depot For Not Slamming GA Voter Law\">prominent attorney<\/a> \u2063for Democrats, accusing the IRS agents of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cdc-exposed-inflated-covid-deaths-by-1600-throughout-the-election-violated-multiple-federal-laws-peer-reviewed-study-findsstate-local-governments-must-act\/\" title=\"CDC Exposed: Inflated Covid Deaths By 1600% Throughout The Election, \u201cViolated Multiple Federal Laws\u201d Peer-Reviewed Study Finds\u2026State, Local Governments Must Act\">violating federal law<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Unlawful Retaliation and Brave Whistleblowers<\/h3>\n<p>The\u2063 chairmen condemned \u2062Lowell&#8217;s attempt to intimidate the agents, emphasizing that \u200dany legal action against them \u2064would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-investigates-hunter-biden-lawyers-alleged-brazen-intimidation-of-irs-whistleblowers\/\" title=\"GOP probes alleged 'bold' intimidation of IRS whistleblowers by Hunter Biden's lawyers.\">considered unlawful whistleblower retaliation<\/a>.
