Yesterday, the Republican-led House arranged a three committee jamboree to hear the testimony of two IRS “whistleblowers” who were there to provide damning evidence against President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. But despite the best efforts of the Republicans on the committee, which began with Jim Jordan screaming about the horrors to be revealed before the witnesses had even been introduced, all they proved was exactly what they’ve demonstrated so many times in the past: Republicans have no evidence. And even less morality.
The two IRS employees, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, did reveal that they had disagreements with Donald Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney David Weiss over how the case should be investigated and prosecuted. And that … is it. Weiss was in charge of the case. Shapley and Ziegler thought Weiss didn’t give their suggestions on the case enough weight. The “evidence” begins and ends with two disgruntled employees. Anyone expecting a revelation, or a hint of actual criminal behavior, had to be sorely disappointed.
The only evidence worth considering was when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene treated the entire nation to a disgusting example of revenge porn, because that might have been an actual crime.
