The most important part here is that the person visited wasn't the target, the target was fucking DEAD.
They're going after dead peoples incorrect filings almost a decade back, and harassing the executor of their estate.
And they're going to arm 87 000 people like him and unleash them on the streets.
Not only that, but they could go after Pichai, Dorsey, Cook and SuckerBucks, and get a lot more out of it, while avoiding the additional expense of 87.000 IRS agents. Most of them have lied under oath before congress, have meddled in state elections, have presented themselves as clear and evident dangers to the public by their constant and rapacious attacks on their users' privacy. Take downs that would actually be worth a damn.
Lying in furtherance of The Right Side of History(tm) is a good thing. Meddling in elections in support of the "correct" candidates is a good thing. Being a clear and evident danger is fine as long as you're not a danger to the Party. And as long as they keep handing over all that data when asked the privacy violations are exactly what the government wants.
Why would they want to go after some of their best allies?
I read a book about the IRS once, the author used to work there. He said that at one time there was an extremely high correlation between a certain type of trust and tax evasion. It wasn't a trust that many people had, mostly all rich people using it to avoid paying taxes.
At the time, it was still mostly or all paper returns. They ran the returns through a scanning program that extracted key info for their database and then filed the actual paper return in a box somewhere. He proposed altering the scanning program to record when someone put this type of trust on their taxes, and then manually reviewing them to see if it was legitimate or tax evasion. He estimated they would recover millions, but the software department said it would be around $10,000 in programming costs, so his bosses shut it down.
The book also said that they don't go after rich people because they'll hire a team of lawyers and fight for years, so the IRS mostly targets poor and middle income people who can't afford to fight them and they can just slam them with penalties and fees or negotiate a settlement where the taxpayer waives their right to contest it in court.
It's basically the IRS's version of when a prosecutor charges someone with a dozen crimes to get them to make a plea bargain and plead guilty to the charge they really wanted to convict them of in the first place so they get the win without having to go to trial.
Good enough for government work.
Republicans are trying to remove the funding but it hasn't happened yet.
The balls on this asshole.
You think?
People still think the state can be reformed and this is happening.
Here's a very basic question for people: Does anyone believe this agent will face any serious repercussions in the slightest? Worst case scenario, this agent loses his job. He's not going to be sent to jail. He's not going to be subject to what he subjected others to. And even if he does lose his job, chances are he'll just end up bumped into another agency. Gone from IRS to ATF or some bullshit.
The state LOVES people like this. They ADORE people who will break the rules in their favour. These are the kinds of scum that get promotions. And there are people who truly believe that the state could be reformed in their benefit.
The whole system is evil. It won't improve just because another team is wielding that evil.
If Lon Horiuchi, the sniper who was at both Ruby Ridge AND Waco, could get off with no consequences for straight up murdering a non-combatant holding a literal infant and get to continue his career to retire happily, then there is zero chance anyone else at a Letter Agency ever sees real consequence.
The only consequences they will ever get and understand is the one's we give them ourselves.
"Are those level 4 plates?"
As you prepare the elephant gun to see if you can make the front and rear plates touch.
I wouldn't say zero, but the circumstances would need to be perfect for someone to be made an example of, but even then the punishment would almost definitely be all show and either instantly reduced to a slap on the wrist in appeal or practically erased "for good behaviour" or some bullshit. Regardless, they still wouldn't face justice, just a mere mockery of it.
Which is part of why the Vote Harder crowd is so vexing.
Everyone should remember McCarthy and every Republican who sold us out on this.
... one thing that would be nice to know; what happened to the IRS agent?
If there's nothing but platitudes mouthed to congress, expect this to happen again.
Remember to buy a mannequin, a airsoft AR and a North Hollywood bank robber costume.
Fill with tannerite and store in a dark corner, opposite the tannerite filled taxidermied dog.
Also, claymore roomba.
The good news is every IRS agent has a name and an address.
