Whistleblower expert warns attacks on Biden case IRS agents may chill others from coming forward

Tristan Leavitt says whistleblowers will want to come forward only if they know that people want to hear their stories and evidence.

The head of a major whistleblower group is warning that political attacks on two IRS agents who unmasked alleged misconduct in the Hunter Biden probe may scare other government workers with knowledge of wrongdoing from coming forward.

“Other potential whistleblowers are going to be intimidated….are going to be chilled from coming forward if they see that there’s not a willing audience to hear out the allegations and that they’re going to be jumped on,” said Tristan Leavitt, president of the Empower Oversight whistleblower center.

The fear is “they’re going to be pre-judged before the information or facts even come out,” he said during an interview Friday night on the Just the News, No Noise television show.

Leavitt’s group represents IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who emerged this summer to blow the whistle on alleged political interference in the Hunter Biden probe.
