<p>The mysterious &#8220;Whistleblower X&#8221; set to testify before a House committee about the federal investigation of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a> on Wednesday is a gay Democrat and says he wants to set a good example for the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lgbtq">LGBTQ</a> community.</p>
<p>A 13-year special agent with the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/internal-revenue-service-irs">Internal Revenue Service</a>&#8216;s Criminal Investigation Division, the whistleblower was publicly identified as <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=ziegler&amp;src=typed_query"><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Joseph </span></a><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"><a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=ziegler&amp;src=typed_query">Ziegler</a> when he appeared to </span>testify alongside his supervisor, Gary Shapely, concerning <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/irs-whistleblower-says-doj-waiting-to-pounce-in-retaliation-over-hunter-biden-investigation">the alleged mishandling</a> of the probe into President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a>&#8216;s son.</p>
<p>His 15-page opening statement, <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Whistleblower-X-Testimony.pdf">published</a> on the House Oversight Committee website ahead of the hearing set for 1 p.m. ET, mostly addresses the investigation but also makes a little room to address the issue of identity politics and argues against the idea that he might be a &#8220;traitor&#8221; to his party.</p>
<p>&#8220;I had recently heard an elected official say that I must be more credible, because I am a gay Democrat married to a man,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/whistleblower">whistleblower</a> says without identifying the official.</p>

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m no more credible than this man sitting next to me due to my sexual orientation or my political beliefs,&#8221; he adds.</p>

<p>&#8220;I was raised and have always strived to do what is right. I have heard from some, that I am a traitor to the Democratic Party and that I am causing more division in our society,&#8221; the whistleblower says. &#8220;I implore you, that if you were put in my position with the facts as I have stated them, that you would be doing the exact same thing — regardless of your political party affiliation.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I hope that I am an example to other LGBTQ people out there, who are questioning doing the right thing at a potential cost to themselves and others. We should ALWAYS do the right thing, no matter how painful the process might be,&#8221; the whistleblower says. &#8220;I kind of equate this to coming out, it was honestly one of the hardest things I ever had to do. I contemplated scenarios that would have been highly regrettable. But I did what was right and I am sitting in front of you here today.&#8221;</p>
