happen. what a sad story. what what a sad chapter. we ll talk to mark levin in a minute. he says we are now in a post constitutional america. he s right. john solomonn a , you have other breaking news tonight. you just just before airtime. how the iowa irs whistleblower and his entire team have beeny removed by the doj incriminal the criminal investigation of and biden s taxes. what s going on there? yes, they re his lawyers. former doj lawyer mark leidel,ja good whistleblower namedwyer jun levitt, have sent a letterss san to congressmen saying this looks like retaliation, looks like obstruction looks of congrn remember just a week ago the irs commissioner said , don t worry, no retaliation, no reprisal. what happens less than a week later after those claims? this guy is removed and thed fr entire irs teaomm is removed frm the case. why is that important? casethey had all the institutiol knowledge of the potential crimes that are being investigated now. they re off the case at the
there s more to come. there will be a lot of people that will be analyzing the video, commenting on it. i m not going to get into the specifics of timeframes and so forth, at this point, because it s not really appropriate. sure. it s not appropriate when the evidence hasn t had disclosed to the defense. but i will say that everything we ve seen so far, and i m confident that everything that will come out, we ll show that my client took reasonable steps to restrain someone. that s what he was doing. even once he was already on there s some people who have looked at this and will say, well, it looks like there s two different junctures here. there s the actual initial encounter, mr. penny s decision to use the chokehold, and then there s the question of how long he held mr. nearly in the chokehold with others restraining. there s always a danger when you have information that s coming out fragmented, in a
