Summary
Gary Shapley, best known for blowing the whistle on Hunter Biden, was forced out as acting commissioner of the IRS after just 72 hours.
Sources said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent “complained” to Donald Trump that Shapley was “installed without his knowledge” and “at the behest of billionaire Elon Musk.”
Bessent claimed Musk and his DOGE acolytes had “done an end run around him.”
The Times does not list any specific actions that led to him getting sacked. Shapley will remain at the IRS as a senior official in its criminal investigation division.
He was there just long enough to acquire the information needed at that level.
I just made that up, but you have to wonder what’s really going on with these fucks.
A big part of it is that most of the people they put in charge of departments have no idea how those jobs are actually done. They have little to no background in the field, and think it can be done just like some cushy private CEO position where you basically “network” all day and just demand impossible things now and then.
Although there is a very good chance you’re correct and that he just gathered up data that was handed over to
the gestapoICE.
What was he blowing the whistle on hunter biden exactly, a non governmental and not political person?

Shapley publicly alleged that the Department of Justice had “slow-walked” the investigation into the younger Biden in an interview with CBS News in May 2023.
But if Musk installed him then he’s probably a corrupt piece of shit
Kinda sounds like he sucked hunter biden’s dick.
Must have ended bitterly.
I wish I was Rich Enough to INSTALL A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL WHO OVERSEES MY TAXES!
