Read the Shocking Story of A Obama and Hillary Criminal Scandal, Conspiracy and Coverup- That Until Now No One Knew About. I Have the American Hero and Whistleblower Who is a Witness to the Crime and is Willing to Testify.

This is a shocking story that every American needs to read.

More importantly, this is a story that President Trump and whoever is his new Attorney General of the United States needs to study.

This is a massive Obama and Hillary criminal conspiracy case we’re handing you, wrapped in a bow, ready for prosecution.

I’ve got the whistleblower and witness for you. His name is Bradley Birkenfeld. And he’s not just any whistleblower.

Brad is single-handedly responsible for uncovering the largest and longest-running tax evasion in IRS history.

He’s also the only whistleblower in the history of America to recover $40 billion for the US Treasury and US taxpayers.

That’s more than all the IRS whistleblowers in American history COMBINED.

And because of that, President Trump, my great friend Brad Birkenfeld, is the most deserving candidate for a pardon in the history of presidential pardons. Hint, hint.

Get ready. Here’s his remarkable story.

Brad was a successful Swiss private banker with many of the wealthiest American businessmen and women as his clients. These wealthy Americans were hiding their money offshore, in Swiss banks, to evade U.S. taxes.

After resigning from his comfortable job at UBS in Switzerland, Brad made the decision to voluntarily walk into the DOJ in Washington, DC, to reveal the secret numbered bank accounts of 19,000 Americans hiding tens of billions of dollars at UBS in Switzerland.

It turns out that most of them were large donors to Obama, Hillary, and the Democrat Party.

In one remarkable act, Brad brought down the entire veil of hundreds of years of Swiss banking secrecy.

Do you remember who the leaders of America were back in 2009 when Brad was negotiating with the DOJ? President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.

Brad naturally assumed he would be celebrated, thanked, and protected by the U.S. government for risking his life and giving up his lucrative banking career to help the US government collect tens of billions of dollars in stolen tax money.

Instead, the Obama Department of Justice persecuted and prosecuted Brad, putting him in prison for thirty months. Why would they do that?

To protect thousands of Democrat donors in these files of tax cheats. They didn’t want the files. They wanted to protect their big Democrat donors. They wanted to shut Brad up.

As a result of Brad’s testimony and evidence handed to the DOJ, not only was $40 billion recovered by the IRS, but 130 Swiss banks signed formal agreements and were fined by the US government to end their decades-long criminal conduct.

Three IRS amnesty programs were implemented, resulting in over 100,000 (and counting) US citizens now in tax compliance.

UBS agreed to a deferred prosecution agreement, paid a $780 million fine to the U.S. Treasury Dept. (a slap on the wrist to them), and agreed to release the names of only 4,700 American tax evaders. That’s out of 19,000 tax cheats on Brad’s file.

So, where did the other 14,300 names of tax cheats go? Obama sent Hillary Clinton to Switzerland to negotiate a deal with UBS to erase those names- and in return, Obama and Hillary gave UBS a sweetheart deal.

How evil and criminal was the Obama/Hillary cabal in Washington DC? On the very day my friend Brad was sent to prison (and remember, he is the hero who handed in these names of tax cheats), Obama was playing golf with the Chairman of UBS.

This is how crimes are covered up among friends in Washington DC.

Instead of making Brad a national hero, Obama’s DOJ forced Brad to accept one charge of conspiracy to commit tax fraud and put him in prison for 30 months. This was their way of shutting him up.

In all these years since my friend Brad exposed this massive criminal conspiracy and 19,000 tax cheats, the only person to go to prison is Brad Birkenfeld.

Treasury Dept to reward fraud whistleblowers with up to 30% of fines

The Treasury Department launched a new program Monday to reward fraud whistleblowers with up to 30% of fines that are imposed on criminals.

“As promised, Treasury will reward whistleblowers who provide timely, actionable information on fraud, sanctions violations, and other significant illicit finance activity,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement.

“President Trump has been clear that Americans have a right to know that their tax dollars are not being diverted to fund acts of global terror or to fund luxury cars for fraudsters. At Treasury, we follow the money, and we strongly encourage individuals to come forward with credible tips to help safeguard our financial system.”

The Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network submitted a proposed rule to the Federal Register on Monday for the whistleblower payment program.

The program includes tipsters of Medicaid and Medicare fraud, according to The New York Post.

The launch comes after Bessent visited Minnesota in January, which is where Somali immigrants allegedly defrauded government welfare programs of at least $9 billion since 2018.

The reward payments will be directly from the fines, meaning that no taxpayer money will be used, according to confidential Treasury documents that the Post obtained.

“Individuals located in the United States or abroad who provide information may be eligible for awards if the information they provide leads to a successful enforcement action that results in monetary penalties exceeding $1,000,000,” one of the documents reads.

The Internal Revenue Service runs a similar program.

The program comes after Vice President JD Vance on Friday held the first meeting of a new anti-fraud task force that he is leading.

FinCEN also issued an advisory on Monday, warning financial institutions about fraud schemes targeting government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.

Gavin Newsom’s wife and her firm pocketed $3.7M from her ‘gender stereotypes’ charity, unearthed IRS filings reveal…days after her sanctimonious rant at the press

Jennifer Siebel Newsom stole the spotlight at her husband’s Planned Parenthood press conference last month when she scolded reporters for not asking enough about the ‘war on women’.

But now, financial filings obtained by the Daily Mail suggest the First Partner of California may have to answer some tough questions of her own. 

IRS documents from recent years show Gavin Newsom‘s wife has been paying herself and her company, Girls Club LLC, up to a third of her nonprofit’s entire income each year – pocketing over $3.7 million over the past decade. 

Siebel Newsom, 51, runs the Representation Project, a charity that fights against ‘intersectional gender stereotypes’ and ‘harmful gender norms’. 

The organization brings in between $1 million and $1.7 million a year in grants and donations, with roughly $300,000 of it going straight to her and her company in recent years, according to financial records. 

The most recent IRS filings up to March 2024 show Siebel Newsom, who’s also the beneficiary of a multi-million-dollar trust from her wealthy family, receives a $150,000 annual salary from the Representation Project, and her company took another $150,000 from the charity’s funds. 

Her unusually high compensation to her and her company has recently sparked criticism from charity watchdogs – with a Daily Mail analysis showing Siebel Newsom and her nonprofit colleagues earn more than 95% of charities of a similar size. 

‘As [Governor Newsom] continues his national rebrand tour, the fact that he and his wife put one third of their “charity” revenues into their own pockets will undoubtedly raise red flags in the eyes of middle class Americans,’ Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of the conservative transparency nonprofit Americans for Public Trust, told the Daily Mail, referencing the $300,000 paid to Siebel Newsom and her firm.

DHS just told IRS to ‘sit down.’ They’re taking over investigating employers and illegals…

Something pretty big just went down behind the scenes in the federal government, and it could end up changing the entire illegal immigration game.

According to a new report, the Department of Homeland Security appears to be stepping in and taking a more aggressive role in investigating illegal employment inside the United States.

And no, they’re not politely coordinating with the IRS. They basically just told them to “take a seat.”

DHS is reportedly bypassing the IRS and using its own investigative team to dig into the relationship between employers and illegal workers.

For years, everyone avoided this tactic. Why? Because the uniparty knew it would actually break the pipeline, and God knows they don’t want that to happen.

Now, Trump’s DHS is moving directly into the driver’s seat.

This move is big, and it caught the attention of several people online who follow this stuff closely.

Appeals Court Allows ICE to Access Taxpayer Data

A federal appeals court has allowed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to access taxpayer information.

In a 3–0 decision on Feb. 24, the court unanimously disagreed with several nonprofit organizations’ argument that ICE violated the Administrative Procedures Act, which governs how federal agencies develop regulations.

U.S. Circuit Judge Harry Edwards, who wrote the opinion for the court, said ICE did not engage in the type of final action subject to the Act and that the agency otherwise followed federal restrictions on data sharing.

“Furthermore, if we find, as we do, that the ‘best reading’ of the statute does not support Appellants’ position, then no agency action may countermand the court’s judgment,” the judge wrote in the ruling.

The court also cited a “straightforward” and “crystal clear” statute that outlines when it is acceptable for the IRS to disclose tax return information.

“[The statute’s] text unambiguously authorizes IRS to disclose taxpayer address information,” Edwards wrote.

President Trump Files $10 Billion Lawsuit Against IRS for Leaking His Tax Returns

President Trump, Eric Trump, Don Jr., and the Trump Org filed a lawsuit against the IRS for leaking their tax returns.

They are seeking $10 billion in damages.

In September 2023, federal prosecutors charged a former IRS contractor who worked for the agency from 2018 to 2020 with unlawfully obtaining and disseminating the tax details of a high-ranking public official and numerous affluent Americans to media outlets.

According to court documents and an official press release from the Department of Justice, Charles Littlejohn, 38, of Washington, D.C., stole tax return information associated with a high-ranking government official, referred to as Public Official A  – now known as Donald Trump. He then disclosed this information to a news organization identified as News Organization 1 – now known as The New York Times.

Littlejohn reportedly stole IRS information on thousands of wealthy people. The stolen information was then disseminated to two news outlets (New York Times and ProPublica).

“In July and August 2020, Littlejohn separately stole tax return information for thousands of the nation’s wealthiest individuals. Littlejohn was again able to evade IRS detection. In November 2020, Littlejohn disclosed this tax return information to News Organization 2, which published over 50 articles using the stolen data. Littlejohn then obstructed the forthcoming investigation into his conduct by deleting and destroying evidence of his disclosures,” the DOJ previously said.

Littlejohn was only sentenced to five years in prison. Political leaders said he should have been sentenced to 60 years.

“The IRS wrongly allowed a rogue, politically-motivated employee to leak private and confidential information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets, which was then illegally released to millions of people,” a spokesperson for Trump’s legal team told CNBC.

‘Loyal Public Servants’: Whistleblowers Punished for Exposing Hunter Biden Protection Scheme Reach Settlement

Compensation being paid, and DOJ using ‘this example’ to train federal prosecutors.

Two former FBI officials who were punished under the Biden administration for their efforts to expose a protection scheme for first son Hunter Biden now have reached settlements in their lawsuits.

Hunter Biden, of course, faced both gun and tax charge convictions, cases that could have left him behind bars for years.

Then his daddy gave him a get-out-of-jail free card through a presidential pardon that Joe Biden actually signed, unlike many of his pardons that were issued through autopen signatures.

The settlements were reached for former Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and Special Agent Joe Ziegler who had charged illegal retaliation against them.

The settlements with the IRS and Justice Department (DOJ) “included significant compensation for damages and a requirement for new training for federal prosecutors to deter future whistleblower retaliation.”

Bessent Taps New “CEO of IRS” Amid Rising Fears of Data-Surveillance State

The Treasury Department startled observers this week by creating a new executive position inside the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Frank Bisignano, the current Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA), will now also serve as the IRS’s first Chief Executive Officer.

Treasury Secretary and Acting IRS Commissioner Scott Bessent announced the appointment Monday, describing Bisignano as “a businessman with an exceptional track record of driving growth and efficiency in the private and now public sector.” Bessent added that at the SSA, Bisignano “has already made important and substantial progress.” His expertise, Bessent said, would help sharpen the IRS’s “focus on collections, privacy, and customer service.”

The announcement also sought to justify the unusual dual appointment, claiming,

The IRS and SSA — two of the most public-facing and broadly impactful federal agencies — also share many of the same technological and customer service goals. This makes Mr. Bisignano a natural choice for this role.

Bisignano’s résumé is extensive. As chairman and CEO of Fiserv and First Data, he oversaw massive financial networks handling trillions in daily transactions and led one of the largest technology mergers in corporate history. Earlier, he held top executive roles at J.P. Morgan Chase and Citigroup, where he managed global transaction systems and large-scale digital integrations. The official record portrays a career defined by efficiency and digital optimization — principles now being imported into government.

But the consolidation of authority across Treasury, the IRS, and the SSA signals more than a bureaucratic reshuffle. It represents a structural shift that quietly places vast amounts of taxpayerdata under a single executive hierarchy. In the name of efficiency, the administration has effectively merged two of the nation’s most data-heavy agencies — one inside Treasury (IRS) and one historically independent (SSA) — under Treasury’s command, giving one unelected appointee extraordinary reach over both.

Unconstitutionally vague: IRS scheme used to attack conservative organizations struck down!

Under Barack Obama’s regime, the Internal Revenue Service was weaponized to delay and deny required governmental permissions for conservative charitable organizations that wanted to sound off on his re-election campaign, which he won, to operate.

They were grilled over their donors, their beliefs, their prayers and much more. Applications were lost and required a second submission. Free speech was under fire.

That treatment was unlike other groups that promoted a liberal agenda

Eventually, the IRS was forced to confess, and it even settled a number of lawsuits over its actions.

But now a federal court has ruled that one of the components that appeared in that agenda is unconstitutional.

A report at the Washington Examiner points to a ruling from Washington, D.C., judge Jia Cobb.

The court found that a test used by the IRS, involving “facts and circumstances,” was unconstitutionally vague.

The ruling said an organization called Freedom Path could not be rejected by the IRS for its requested tax standing because of the failing in the federal process.

But it continued the case, as neither side, Freedom Path nor the IRS, had suggested a standard that could be imposed.

The judge said the IRS violated constitutional protections by denying the tax-exempt status the organization requested.

“The ruling held that the agency’s ‘facts and circumstances’ framework, an 11-part analysis derived from a 2004 IRS revenue ruling, fails to survive the heightened scrutiny required when government rules implicate First Amendment speech rights,” the report said.

Freedom Path, founded in Texas in during 2011, when Obama remained in control of the IRS, sought tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(4). Years later, the IRS denied the request.
