Article discusses the vindication of IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who faced retaliation for pursuing the Hunter Biden case. Their efforts to treat Hunter like any other criminal led to political pushback and restriction on investigations. Their recent promotions signal recognition of their integrity. Additionally, the article shifts focus to gang violence, highlighting that violent crime is the primary driver for youth gang membership. It suggests that creating safer neighborhoods can effectively deter teenagers from joining gangs, emphasizing the role of policy in fostering community safety.
Shapley and Ziegler have been vindicated many times - by the ultimate Hunter prosecutions, his guilty pleas, and even his pardon. But their promotion this week to senior jobs, advising Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on IRS reform, is the truest vindication of all.
The biggest driver of gang membership is violent crime. Policymakers must understand that the best way to stop teenagers from joining gangs is to provide them with safer neighborhoods.
