The House Oversight Committee made waves again Monday by releasing testimony from an FBI supervisory special agent that purports to corroborate previous testimony given by IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler.
As RedState has reported on extensively, both Shapley and Ziegler made the striking claim that now-special counsel David Weiss told them and others in a meeting that he was denied special counsel status after he sought to charge Hunter Biden in Washington, D.C., and the Central District of California. That scandal was exacerbated after AG Merrick Garland then gave a presser in which he asserted that Weiss already had the ability to charge in any jurisdiction, essentially claiming that the whistleblowers misunderstood Weiss.
If that were true, though, why did Weiss eventually request special counsel status (allegedly a second time) and receive it in early August? If Garland were telling the truth in June at his presser, then logically, Weiss would not have needed special counsel status in order to move jurisdictions.
That brings us to the latest revelation from the House Oversight Committee. The transcript from the FBI supervisory special agent confirms other parts of the two whistleblower testimonies, including the fact that the FBI tipped off the Secret Service and Joe Biden’s transition team.
