A second whistleblower in the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden has come forward in a letter written by his legal attorneys alleging that the IRS had retaliated against him by removal from the probe for doing the "right thing", according to Trending Politics News. 

The letter included several evidentiary exhibition pieces that displayed email correspondence between the IRS special agent and his superiors. The whistleblower wrote to seven senior IRS officials, including Biden's Commissioner of the IRS Daniel Werfel, that, "As I’m sure you were aware, I was removed this week from a highly sensitive case … after nearly 5 years of work. I was not afforded the opportunity of a phone call directly from my [Special Agent in Charge] or [Assistant Special Agent in Charge], even though this had been my investigation since the start."

The letter through that documented email correspondence further highlighted the manhours that the agent had put into the case and the lack of responsiveness by his immediate higher-ups. "I … have spent thousands of hours on the case, worked to complete 95% of the investigation, have sacrificed sleep/vacations/gray hairs, etc., my husband and I (identifying me as the case agent) were publicly outed and ridiculed on social media due to our sexual orientation, and to ultimately be removed for always trying to do the right thing, is unacceptable in my opinion...If this is how our leadership expects our leader to lead, without considering the human component, that is just unacceptable and you should be ashamed of yourselves" the whistleblower wrote. 

The email sent by the whistleblower documented in the letter also noted that the whistleblower had been trying for years "to gain the attention of our senior leadership about certain issues prevalent regarding the investigation" through various means but to no avail. 

The date of the email correspondence shows that the IRS responded to the complaint by sending an email that criticized the whistleblower for not following the line of command and noted that this noncompliance had happened several times.

The whistleblower's lawyers also observed further problematic activity by the IRS against the whistleblower. 

They wrote in the letter that "the IRS responded with accusations of criminal conduct and warnings to other agents in an apparent attempt to intimidate into silence anyone who might raise similar concerns. Specifically, the Assistant Special Agent in Charge emailed the case agent suggesting, without any basis, that he might have illegally disclosed 6(e) grand jury material in his email to you. While such a claim is utterly baseless and without support in the law or facts of this matter, the language of the response suggests the case agent may have been referred for investigation, an even more intimidating form of reprisal likely to chill anyone from expressing dissent."

The attorneys reminded the commissioner that his duty was to prevent whistleblower retaliation and that failure to do so was against the law. 

Just the News observed that Congress was aware of the contents of the letter as evidenced by Senator Chuck Grassley's (R-IO) tweet that "IRS commissioner Werfel: what r u doing to protect IRS whistleblowers??... They r being treated like skunks at a picnic under ur watch UNACCEPTABLE u must protect them from retaliation it’s the law."
