Until IRS criminal investigators Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler came forward to blow the whistle on the preferential treatment Hunter Biden was receiving from the DOJ and IRS, it looked like the president’s son would never face any type of accountability for his numerous criminal acts, many of which were documented on his “Laptop from Hell.” Nearly a year and a half later, and Hunter Biden has entered an open guilty plea to nine criminal tax evasion charges and will be sentenced in early December.
