IRS whistleblowers sue Hunter Bidens defense counsel for defamation

 IRS whistleblowers sue Hunter Bidens defense counsel for defamation

The two IRS agents who blew the whistle on the Hunter Biden tax investigation and significantly altered the course of the case, on Friday night sued the first son’s lawyer Abbe Lowell for defamation.

The two whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, are suing for libel because of the alleged damage done to their careers, and are requesting a jury trial in Washington, D.C. 

The whistleblowers originally brought concerns to the House Ways and Means Committee that the Justice Department had provided preferential treatment to Biden during a probe into his alleged tax violations. 

Shapley and Ziegler alleged in Friday's legal complaint that Lowell acted with malice by sending letters to several different Congressional committees, where the lawyer "falsely accused the Plaintiffs of violating grand jury secrecy rules ... and the taxpayer confidentiality statute."

"It is particularly ironic and damaging that a well-known attorney like Lowell—in his words, 'one of the country’s foremost white collar defense and trial lawyers' that is 'widely viewed as counsel of choice for individuals facing government investigations and potential indictments'—has chosen to falsely accuse these special agents of criminal behavior,"  the lawsuit, obtained by Just The News, reads. "Lowell’s stature and credibility in the legal community have amplified the harm caused by his defamatory statements."

Alex Jones 2024-Sep-12 Thursday One proposal (mine) is that those found guilty of treason should be tried publicly, with the proceedings available for everyone to see, perhaps even broadcast on national networks or pay-per-view platforms like HBO, with the profits directed to help Americans who’ve suffered under recent policies. Additionally, what if Trump promised to eliminate all federal taxes? Has that been suggested yet? He already has some strong promises on the table, but adding another stimulus package could attract even more support, especially among those struggling

I WANT AN HONEST TRUTHFUL INQUISITIVE COMPETENT PRESIDENT! This is a call to ACTION! Thumbnail is a Giant Heart. Share Thumb up and Speak Up..this is our chance to get TRUTH...Post this everywhere on Truth Social and X etc...post about mudfossils EVERYWHERE. I am perplexed about the minds of people and belief systems. Some say Faith is all you need but faith in what? I say we start with the Truth about our past which will cause Academia distress because it shows them wrong on many levels so they will not let Mudfossils be seen in any Journals or Articles because the publishers would become the target of Academia...same as what happened to "Worlds in Collision" by Velikovsky. 11 weeks #1 on NY Times best seller list and Academics forced the publisher to recall the books.
