The IRS officials who came forward and blew the whistle on the Biden administration obstructing a federal investigation into President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, slammed the president for pardoning his son on Sunday night for the crimes that he committed.

The statement from the two whistleblowers came after Biden issued a sweeping pardon for every crime his son committed or may have committed during an 11 year period.

“No amount of lies or spin can hide the simple truth that the Justice Department nearly let the President’s son off the hook for multiple felonies,” said IRS Whistleblowers Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and Special Agent Joe Ziegler in a joint statement.

“We did our duty, told the truth, and followed the law,” they continued. “Anyone reading the President’s excuses now should remember that Hunter Biden admitted to his tax crimes in federal court, that Hunter Biden’s attorneys have targeted us for our lawful whistleblower disclosures, and that we are suing one of those attorneys for smearing us with false accusations.”

They said that Biden put “his thumb on the scales of justice for his son” and that the entire world was able to see his corruption because he was forced to do it by issuing a pardon rather than “his political appointees doing it secretly behind the scenes.”

“Either way it is a sad day for law abiding taxpayers to witness this special privilege for the powerful,” they added.

Congress received testimony from the whistleblowers in 2023 that exposed efforts from the Biden administration to keep Hunter Biden from being charged.

The Biden DOJ and Hunter Biden’s legal team settled the matter last summer in a “sweetheart plea deal” that later fell apart under scrutiny by a judge who raised concerns about an immunity clause.
