I don't think you understand what you read.
The whistleblower is accusing DOJ people he is working with on Hunter case of preferential treatment and it seems to be said that his testimony has become part of a justice proceeding (investigation).
How exactly would you have those DOJ people continue working with him on the case? Of course he was re-assigned.
ASSumptions that he was somehow demoted are baseless.

A decorated IRS agent provided Congress six hours of testimony and seven critical documents Friday that gave lawmakers insights into the origins of the Hunter Biden criminal tax probe and evidence of political interference inside the Justice Department dating to the 2020 election.
Gary Shapley, an IRS supervisory criminal investigator granted whistleblower status, testified before the House Ways and Means Committee, fielding questions from staff from Democrat and Republican lawmakers, his legal team announced.
Sources familiar with the session told Just the News that Shapley turned over seven documents totaling 23 pages that summarized the evidence and predicate for the original investigation into the taxes and overseas finances of Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden's son.
The memos also summarized multiple instances dating to 2020 in which DOJ officials thwarted, hampered or interfered with the frontline career investigators’ efforts – ranging from blocking certain tactics to allowing tolling agreements to expire that extended the statute of limitations on certain alleged offenses. Shapley described IRS and FBI agents being concerned by the interference.

Shapley's name had been
concealed prior to Wednesday, when Just the News confirmed his identity. He has alleged that federal prosecutors engaged in "preferential treatment and politics" to prevent charges from being brought against Hunter Biden as part of an ongoing tax investigation.
In a brief interview with CBS ahead of his testimony, Shapley previewed the concerns that led him to reach out to the DOJ inspector general and Congress as a whistleblower.
"There were multiple steps that were slow-walked – were just completely not done – at the direction of the Department of Justice," the 14-year veteran agent told CBS.

They cited a separate agent’s communication to the IRS. In that
communication, Shapley's subordinate case agent appeared to indicate that the pair's efforts to call attention to pervasive problems affecting the investigation had gone on for years.
"For the last couple years, my SSA and I have tried to gain the attention of our senior leadership about certain issues prevalent regarding the investigation.

Two years of complaints boiled over in an Oct. 7, 2022, meeting with Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, the chief prosecutors in the Hunter Biden case, also according to the letter.
“In a charged meeting on October 7,2022, U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware became aware that both the IRS and the FBI had longstanding concerns about the handling of the case, and that he had been communicating his concerns up his chain of command,” the complaint letter states.
After that meeting, Shapley “and his IRS team were no longer invited to any further prosecutorial team calls and meetings on the case, effectively excluding them from the case,” also according to the letter.
Commentary:
If it were Trump’s children, the political interference would be called obstruction of justice.
Yet, Hunter Biden, the Biden Family and Joey himself have been protected by Garland and Wray.
Both the leaders of the DoJ/FSB and FBI/Stasi have been found to be corrupted.
How in blazes do you become a decorated (sic) IRS agent?”
That’s actually a good question. What type of commendations do they receive and what are the qualifications for receiving that recognition?
We have seen what happens when you testify before Congress. Look at wat te orders te DoJ have given the IRS in relation to Matt Taibbi. That is outright retribution.
