The Whistleblowers vs. The Big Guy: Two Special Agents, the Biden Crime Family, and a Corrupt Bureaucracy [Hardcover]

In this gripping account, IRS special agents-turned-whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler expose the shocking truth behind their investigation into the Biden family—and the powerful forces that tried to stop them.
 
Shapley and Ziegler made headlines when they testified before Congress, revealing political interference, bureaucratic stonewalling, and outright obstruction in the Hunter Biden criminal case. Despite overwhelming evidence, they watched as the system bent to protect the powerful, with the IRS, FBI, and DOJ failing to act as independent institutions.  

Their investigation ultimately led to Hunter Biden’s federal conviction. But in a stunning last-minute move, President Joe Biden pardoned his son—then went even further, issuing blanket pardons to other family members before leaving office.  

But this isn’t just about Hunter Biden. It’s about two public servants who risked everything to expose corruption. Facing retaliation, isolation, and intense public scrutiny, Shapley and Ziegler take readers inside the high-stakes battle between truth and power.
