Washington attorney Mark Lytle represents an anonymous IRS Criminal supervisory special agent who wishes to come forward as a whistleblower. On Wednesday, Lytle sent a letter to a bipartisan group of members of Congress. He wrote that his client “has been overseeing the ongoing and sensitive investigation of a high profile, controversial subject” and would like to reveal his disclosures to Congress. The letter does not name the subject, but Just the News has confirmed the allegations pertain to Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss’s case against Hunter Biden.
The case was opened in 2018 as a tax investigation. Voters were kept in the dark until December 2020 when Hunter Biden acknowledged he was the subject of a federal probe. Last March, the case was expanded to include potential money laundering and foreign lobbying violations. Since then, there’s been little to no media coverage of the story.
Lytle’s letter states that his client has already made “legally protected disclosures” to the inspectors general at the IRS, the Treasury Department, and the Department of Justice. He wrote: “The protected disclosures: (l) contradict sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee, (2) involve failure to mitigate clear conflicts of interest in the ultimate disposition of the case, and (3) detail examples of preferential treatment and politics improperly infecting decisions and protocols that would normally be followed by career law enforcement professionals in similar circumstances if the subject were not politically connected.”
His client will come forward once he has been assured of legal protections that only Congress can provide.
Lytle assured journalist John Solomon that his client has a stellar reputation within the IRS. Additionally, this individual has no social media presence and allegedly wishes to keep politics out of it. Lytle also told Solomon that the whistleblower had previously been represented by liberal Washington lawyer Mark Zaid. Zaid’s name might ring a bell. He represented the whistleblower (whose name could not be mentioned) whose bogus complaint to then-Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson in August 2019 triggered former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment.
Zaid, according to Lytle, reportedly wrote to members of Congress late last year, but no action was taken. Given the Democratic House majority, that’s entirely understandable. It’s unclear if Zaid sent his letter to any Republican lawmakers.
Lytle himself has represented such liberal figures as Yoel Roth, Twitter’s former head of trust and safety. He is currenting representing former FBI agent Timothy Thibault, who resigned from the bureau last summer amid allegations he had suppressed the Hunter Biden investigation ahead of the 2020 election.
All in all, Lytle’s client sounds legitimate. Assuming he or she does have evidence that contradicts statements made under oath to Congress by a top Biden administration official (possibly Attorney General Merrick Garland), or that shows “preferential treatment” in the Hunter Biden case, it begs the question: Why is this coming out now?
History has shown that those who blow the whistle on Democrats rarely come out unscathed. Former IRS whistleblower William Henck knows this all too well, because he lived it.
After exposing the bullying of World War II veterans, evidence of a cover-up in the Lois Lerner case, and the improper giveaway of literally billions of dollars to taxpayers represented by sketchy Washington lobbyists, Henck was terminated from his position as an IRS attorney in November 2017 after 30 years of service.
Henck has some thoughts on the timing. He told the Washington Examiner, “I’m sure he’s telling the truth, but there is something larger going on here. I’m guessing that a Democratic Party or bureaucratic faction has decided that it is time for Biden to go. Why are Zaid and Lytle interested and who is paying them?”
He continued, “From my experience, people couldn’t care less about internal IRS whistleblowers. There is no constituency for investigating IRS abuse.” He turned to the media because he was unable to “find anyone in authority interested in specific details about IRS corruption.”
“My family and I were hit hard,” he said. “But we survived by God’s grace. Henck said he became a whistleblower “because I could live to be a thousand and never be able to repay this country everything that I owe it, but I can’t make people care.”
“I’m glad that this Hunter Biden whistleblower is apparently being treated well,” Henck said, “but there has to be a behind-the-scenes reason for that.”
And he may be right. As Franklin Roosevelt once said, “In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.”

We’re pretending there’s a federal case against Hunter Biden? LOL! Democrats don’t get prosecuted.
Democrats do get prosecuted when they.ve outlived their usefulness to the democrat party (see Blagoyevich, Rod).
