Nope. My response was to your breathless credulity of the IRS "whistleblower" (after all the other Comer/Jordan "whistleblowers" proved to be malcontents with pending personnel actions against them). I said
"In my experience (which is considerable in this arena from the numerous cases I've been involved with for DOD, DOL and DOE), agency staff who discover wrongdoing are always more fired up than DOJ/FBI investigators who get their referrals (in the few instances that actually get beyond the agency's counsel) and therefore often disgruntled when they feel their complaints are not being weighed seriously enough. Such conversations/disagreements are commonplace, even routine."
And my assertion remains true, whether you like it or not. People from other agencies who refer cases to DOJ for possible prosecution are often disappointed when DOJ doesn't prosecute as fully as they think is warranted (or even at all). I've been in this position several times myself as one who referred (or consulted upon) cases from DOD, DOL and DOE. The difference was that I didn't label myself a whistleblower and run to some pathetic, discredited morons on the Hill (e.g., Comer, Jordan) because the cases didn't cross the DOJ threshold for action (i.e., a slam-dunk felony). I think a healthy dose of skepticism is warranted to allegations made by anyone who takes Comer or Jordan seriously.
