This whistleblower took over the Hunter Biden case in January 2020 and by June 2020 felt the investigation was being slow walked:

"He was assigned to a "sensitive" investigation in January 2020, and within months, he said he grew concerned about how the Justice Department was handling the investigation. CBS News has learned that was the Hunter Biden probe. Shapley says he began documenting his concerns around June 2020."

What's weird about this to me is that Biden didn't become president until January 20, 2021, so this IRS investigator is claiming that the Trump/ Barr DOJ was slow walking the Hunter Biden case from the get-to, which seems highly unlikely to me.

IRS 'whistleblower' who claimed Hunter Biden case was mishandled won't cooperate with Senate probe

EXCLUSIVE: Whistleblower has cut off communication with the Senate Finance Committee even as he prepares to testify before a GOP-led House panel.

"Rewrite it and try again."

Sure, why not?"

This whistleblower was assigned to the Hunter Biden case in January 2020 and by June 2020 felt the investigation was being slow walked:

"He was assigned to a "sensitive" investigation in January 2020, and within months, he said he grew concerned about how the Justice Department was handling the investigation. CBS News has learned that was the Hunter Biden probe. Shapley says he began documenting his concerns around June 2020."

What's weird about this to me is that Biden didn't become president until January 20, 2021, so this IRS investigator is claiming that the Trump/ Barr DOJ was slow walking the Hunter Biden case from the get-to--and during an election year no less--which seems highly unlikely to me.

Sounds like he may not want to testify under oath before a bipartisan committee:

"Democratic and Republican Finance Committee staff previously met for several hours with counsel representing an IRS whistleblower, and counsel were made aware of the committee's investigative procedures. Committee staff on both sides agreed with counsel to meet directly with the whistleblower next week, however the whistleblower has since backed out of that agreement and declined an attempt to reschedule," they said.

This whistleblower took over the Hunter Biden case in January 2020 ...
Thats not what this says ...

No, but it is what the WB himself has said, so really there was no need for me to rewrite anything:

"When I took control of this particular investigation, I immediately saw deviations from the normal process. It was way outside the norm of what I've experienced in the past," he said.

Normal people believed a Trump pee tape existed, this is less far fetched than that.

So is this:

The sources say Mr Shapley's use of Mr Leavitt as an attorney and the nature of the allegations " which they described as appearing to be a run-of-the-mill dispute between criminal investigators and prosecutors over whether the former has collected enough evidence for the latter to justify bringing charges against a target " give them reason to believe the IRS special agent is part of a coordinated effort to browbeat prosecutors into charging Hunter Biden and weaponise dispute between investigators and prosecutors against both the Biden administration and President Biden's family.

One person with knowledge of Mr Shapley's efforts told The Independent that members of Congress and staff have also been troubled by the way legally protected taxpayer information " information which House and Senate committees take great pains to keep secret " has made it into the right-wing press at the same time it has been provided to the House and Senate panels with jurisdiction over the IRS.

They noted that he was previously represented by a prominent Washington, DC attorney with extensive experience in representing law enforcement and intelligence whistleblowers and said Mr Shapley appeared to change attorneys because his first attorney appeared more concerned with following the law than getting his allegations into the press.
