Gary Shapley Out!

All that ass kissing for nothing.

The guy who claimed the Biden administration hid records in regards to Hunter Biden’s tax records was appointed as the acting IRS Comissioner by the Trump administration. He only lasted less than 96 hours.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told President Donald J. Trump that he thought Gary Shapley was a problem and the president ordered his firing.

Bessent told the president that White House adviser/Department of Government Efficiency Secretary Elon Musk went behind Bessent’s back to get Shapley installed. The IRS commissioner reports to the Treasury secretary.

Deputy Treasury Secretary Michael Faulkender has been named as the replacement and is the fifth commissioner the agency has had since Jan. 20. Trump has nominated former Missouri Republican lawmaker Billy Long as commissioner, but the Senate Finance Committee has yet to hold a hearing on the nomination.

Long is another Zionist who will oversee our taxes. So if you decide to donate to Palestinians, Long could insulate that you are providing material support to terrorist and have you arrested.

Shapley’s tenure as acting commissioner last just four days, which is less than half the famously short tenure of Anthony Scaramucci, who was White House communications director for 10 days in 2017 before he was fired.

Shapley, a 16-year veteran of the IRS, briefly came to prominence in 2023 as a “whistleblower” touted by Republicans in their investigation into Hunter Biden.

“When I took control of this particular investigation, I immediately saw it was way outside the norm of what I’ve experienced in the past,” Shapley said at the time. “There was multiple steps that were slow-walked at the direction of the Department of Justice.”

Bessent and Musk have clashed behind the scenes, but on Thursday night, Musk amplified an attack on the Treasury secretary. In a social media post, conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer accused Bessent of colluding with a “Trump hater” who leads a nonprofit organization called Operation HOPE.

“Troubling,” Musk responded to Loomer’s post.

Trump named Shapley as the acting commissioner of internal revenue to succeed Melanie Krause, who resigned after administration officials sought to enjoin the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)'s data with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That day, Trump had asked the IRS to revoke Harvard University's tax exemption. On April 18, Trump replaced Shapley with Michael Faulkender, the deputy secretary of the treasury, amid a struggle between secretary of the treasury Scott Bessent and Elon Musk. According to The New York Times, Bessent was unaware that Shapley was named acting commissioner.

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. Michael Batdorf, the director of field operations at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), claimed that he removed Shapley and his team from the Biden case in December 2022 after David C. Weiss, who oversaw the Biden investigation at the Department of Justice, believed that Shapley could not "remain objective in the investigation"; handwritten notes from Shapley released by Politico in September revealed that he had concerns over Weiss beginning in October 2022. Biden sued the IRS, him, and Ziegler that month over alleged violations of privacy. He testified before the House Committee on Ways and Means about the investigation into Biden in June. His testimony was used by Republicans to critique Weiss's claim that he had independence in his special counsel investigation. Shapley testified before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform the following month alongside Joseph Ziegler, alleging political bias in Weiss's investigation. He and Ziegler spoke with the Committee on Ways and Means in December, after the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden began.
