Gary Shapley – Supervisory Special Agent with the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation

Gary Shapley has been an IRS agent since July 2009. He has served as a supervisory special agent or acting assistant special agent in charge since April 2018. Shapley says “there is no reward for me for becoming a whistleblower”. He is correct. As he stated in his testimony, “The only win for me is to not be fired or arrested or retaliated against.”

It is shocking the liberal press is not interested in the testimony of Gary Shapley. He is a decorated, career IRS agent. From all appearances, he’s as solid a witness as any prosecutor of defense attorney could ever want. Shapley’s testimony would result in words like “bombshell”, “scandalous”, “devastating”, and “damning” being part of the headline coverage if the person[s] he was testifying against were Republicans. But because his testimony is unfavorable towards the Bidens, the press is paying little or no attention to evidence that makes Watergate seem legal.

The 212 pages that follow are the most important 212 pages you’ll read today. There is something terribly wrong with the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Shapley testimony provides a glimpse into what the Republicans call the “deep state”, and what the Democrats smirkingly proclaim does not exist.

Testimony of Gary Shapley – Supervisory Special Agent with the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation

I have been an IRS agent since July 2009, and 9 have served as a supervisory special agent or acting assistant special agent in charge since April 2018.

There is no reward for me for becoming a whistleblower. The only win for me is to not be fired or arrested or retaliated against. Before October of 2022, I had received the highest awards available to me in my agency and multiple awards from DOJ. In October 2022, I was a senior leader, assistant special agent in charge of the Chicago Field Office, and received the highest performance rating available that year as an outstanding.

I have investigated and managed some of the largest cases in U.S. history and of the history of the agency, recovering over $3.5 billion for the United States Government. Since October 2022, IRS CI (Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation) has taken every opportunity to retaliate against me and my team.

The special agent in charge and assistant special agent in charge of the Washington, D.C. Field Office have sent threats to the field office, suppressing additional potential whistleblowers from coming forward. Even after IRS CI senior leadership had been made aware on a recurring basis that the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Department of Justice was acting improperly, 10 they acquiesced to a DOJ request to remove the entire team from the Hunter Biden investigation, a team that had been investigating it for over 5 years. Passing the buck and deferring to others was a common theme with IRS CI leadership during this investigation.

I am blowing the whistle because the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office, Department of Justice Tax, and Department of Justice provided preferential treatment and unchecked conflicts of interest in an important and high-profile investigation of the President’s son, Hunter Biden.

If search warrants or witness interviews or document requests that include the actual subjects’ names are not allowed, for example, that is simply a deviation from the normal process that provided preferential treatment, in this case to Hunter Biden. The case agent on this case is one of the best agents in the entire agency. Without his knowledge and persistence, DOJ would have prevented the investigative team from collecting enough evidence to make an informed assessment, which ultimately included even DOJ agreeing on the recommended criminal charges.

I have never given a dollar to any campaign, never attended a campaign event at any level of government, never had a campaign sign on my car, lawn, et cetera. I do not own and have never owned a tee shirt or hat with any election topic. I vote for the candidate, not the party. I have voted for Presidents with both an R and/or a D in front of their names. I speak on this topic so I can try to head off time that might be spent on it. In the end, a fact is a fact, regardless of the political affiliation of the person who brought it to you.

The investigation into Hunter Biden, code name Sportsman, was first opened in November 2018 as an offshoot of an investigation the IRS was conducting into a foreign-based amateur online pornography platform.

In October 2019, the FBI became aware that a repair shop had a laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden and that the laptop might contain evidence of a crime. The FBI verified its authenticity in November of 2019 by matching the device number against Hunter Biden’s Apple iCloud ID. When the FBI took possession of the device in December 2019, they notified the IRS that it likely contained evidence of tax crimes. Thus, Special Agent drafted an affidavit for a Title 26 search warrant, which a magistrate judge approved that month.

As early as March 6th, 2020, I sent a sensitive case report up through my chain of command at IRS reporting that by mid-March the IRS would be ready to seek approval for physical search warrants in California, Arkansas, New York, and Washington, D.C. Special Agent drafted an April 1st, 2020, affidavit establishing probable cause for these physical search warrants. We also planned to conduct approximately 15 contemporaneous interviews at that time. Yet, after former Vice President Joseph Biden became the presumptive Democratic nominee for President in early April 2020, career DOJ officials dragged their feet on the IRS taking these investigative steps.
