Interesting ploy:
Hunter Biden filed a lawsuit Monday accusing the IRS of “repeatedly and intentionally” disclosing his tax returns and failing to protect the confidentiality of his tax documents.
President Biden’s son is asking a court to declare that the IRS unlawfully leaked his tax records. He is seeking all documents relating to the disclosure of his tax information and an award of $1,000 in damages for each unauthorized disclosure.
Days earlier, Hunter Biden was indicted on three criminal counts related to the possession of a handgun while under the influence of illegal drugs.
Hunter Biden reached a deal with prosecutors that would have spared him prison time if he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor tax charges and entered a pretrial diversion program on the gun counts. The agreement collapsed under scrutiny by a federal judge during a dramatic court hearing in July.
The 27-page lawsuit, filed in the District of Columbia, singles out IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler. Although the agents are not named as defendants, Hunter Biden’s attorneys say they were “engaging in a campaign to publicly smear Mr. Biden” by disclosing his tax information in more than 20 televised interviews, public statements and congressional testimony.

Is it still considered a "smear" if you release true, factual information?
