...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...’s son, Hunter.
"There were multiple steps that were slow-walked — were just completely not done — at the direction of the Department of Justice," the IRS agent told CBS News in his first public interview on Wednesday night.
"When I took control of this particular investigation, I immediately saw deviations from the normal process. It was way outside the norm of what I’ve experienced in the past."
"Had you ever encountered that before?" news anchor Jim Axelrod asked following Shapley’s comments. "I have not, no," the fourteen-year IRS veteran maintained.
"I’m not involved with any of that stuff," Shapley added in the interview. "It’s not what I want to do. I’m just simply not a political person. This is a job, and my oath of office is to treat everybody fairly that we investigate.
The probe, which first began in 2018, pertains to Hunter’s taxes as well as a false statement the president’s son allegedly made in connection with the purchase of a firearm.
Last October, a leak first published in the Washington Post revealed that federal agents with the FBI and IRS were confident that there was sufficient evidence to indict Hunter.
"It is a federal felony for a federal agent to leak information about a Grand Jury investigation such as this one," Chris Clark, an attorney representing the president’s son, responded in an official statement to the newspaper at the time. "Any agent you cite as a source in your article apparently has committed such a felony. We expect the Department of Justice will diligently investigate and prosecute such bad actors."
In mid April, Shapley, then-an anonymous criminal supervisory special agent, sought whistleblower protection from Congress in exchange for information concerning a "failure to mitigate clear conflicts of interest in the ultimate disposition of the case."
