allegation of a political agenda? no. to him, the truth is one truth. and he wants to come forward with it. reporter: lytle told us the whistle-blower has been with the irs for more than a decade and has extensive documentation to support his allegations. the things he s been through are very well documented in emails and other communications with the department of justice. reporter: we asked mark lytle if there is a chance his client can only see his slice of the investigation and not the big picture. he said that s possible, but that his client had expressed his concerns to superiors a number of times before seeking whistle-blower status. either the irs, department of justice, or a lawyer for hunter biden would comment fear norah? norah: jim axelrod, thank you. we turn now to that national security leak of top-secret documents about the war in ukraine. the massachusetts air national guardsman accused of posting
whistle blower status. i think they will. frankly, a number of them have been retaliated against, which is not allowed to happen. sean: you re not allowed to talk to members of congress or the senate. day after we talked about it on your show, the very next day they issued a memorandum said these are the rules if you re going to talk to congress. that looks like an infringement on their liberty, their right to tell us what s going on in those agencies. they love this agency. they want this agency to be what it was. sean: friend of mine, retired from the fbi. he said it is not what i signed up for. that s how much it changed. exactly. sean: your investigation. you said something that was deep and profound. the fbi had the hunter biden lap top in december 2019. that s why the fbi meeting with big tech once a week prior to the 2020 election. oh, you might get disinformation about hunter. they could have verified hunter
