IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler did their jobs — and were removed from the case, smeared, and ignored. The documentary Shielded By Power puts the full story on the record: the Hunter Biden investigation, the DOJ's interference, the FBI's coordination with media, and the "Dirty 51" letter that misled the country before the 2020 election. Now Facebook, X, and Google have all blocked or suspended the ad campaigns for the documentary's crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. Jenny Beth Martin talks with the man who represented the whistleblowers and the filmmaker who is trying to get the story out.
