Hunter Biden’s attorneys filed a lawsuit against the IRS on Monday, alleging that agents have “targeted and sought to embarrass” the president’s son.
Biden’s Monday morning filing cites two major examples in IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, two whistleblowers who claimed the IRS mishandled aspects of its investigation into Biden.
Biden’s lawsuit seeks for the court to declare that the IRS “willfully, knowingly, and/or by gross negligence, unlawfully disclosed Mr. Biden’s confidential tax information.”
In addition, Biden is demanding $1,000 in damages for “each and every unauthorized disclosure of his tax returns,” including disclosures that happened after the fact....

The best defense is a good offense. Hunter is sending a message to anyone who testifies against him. If you are stupid enough to challenge a Biden, I will bleed you dry with legal fees and you will become a pariah.
Wait, this is NOT from the Babylon Bee??
“If government agents are sued for things done in the course of their employment, DOJ defends them. And covers any judgments against them.”
Not necessarily. These guys are whistleblowers. They have been making statements to the MSM giving their personal opinions.
Without reading the actual suit, it is hard to determine if the suit is against the IRS (USG) or the whistleblowers. Will the IRS blame Congress and the whistleblowers?
It is audacity.
Remember “Audacity of Hope”.
Obama culture.
For a guy who is broke, he sure does have a lot of lawyers.
I’m no lawyer, but could this be used to delay charges against him? At least until the election is over? It seems this could be argued that the ‘complex legal situation’ needs to be resolved before moving forward...avoiding the embarrassment for now.
Oh no! Hunter’s little feelings got hurt? He’s SO embarrassed! Poor baby.
Can all defendants now just invoke the “Biden” defense to any charges? Or, is that defense only reserved for certain people?
We now have the “Trump exception” which does not apply to all laws, regulations, and precedents, and the “Biden defense” to all crimes, including violations of all bribery, extortion, tax-avoidance, and gun laws.
It’s the opposite. See my #16
Hunter embarrasses himself.
Hunter does an extremely good job of embarrassing himself......doesnt need any help.
It’s a conundrum. You are right that how the DOJ responds will tell us their allegiance.
He’ll probably win and they’ll pay him out millions.
Why bother with lawyers? There is no law.
They have BALLS, I’ll give them that!
In our CORRUPT Country, those guys will go to Prison and the BIDEN CRIME FAMILY SKATES FREE!
Stalling tactic. Thats all. Clogging up the legal system to buy more time just like he’s been doing. This aint his idea for sure. This idea came from his lawyers.
Enough hair on his keester to weave a Pendleton wool blanket.
The Biden’s are slow to understand the freedom of information act
Slow like a fox.
