Is it just me or has the FBI suddenly started going after real criminals?

Carlos “Charlie” Uresti is an attorney and Democratic State Senator, also a Marine Reserve officer from what I read in Wikipedia.

Well since IRS is mentioned, I am assuming that it is either some type of tax shelter that is borderline illegal or there is a client that is having tax issues and they suspect that the information is being stored / withheld by the office.

Another site said it pertains to something called “the four winds matter.” Any locals know what that is?...

Oh...
A bankrupt sand/frac company associated with Ureste...

Sounds like another fascist “Democrat” who doesn’t think he should have to pay taxes. There’s a lot of that going around these days.

That’s just the Al Capone reason for the raid. Something else is on those computers.

There is more going on than tax issues. If the IRS agents felt that they needed firepower on hand they would have called in TIGTA The Inspector General of the Treasury something or other. Sounds like FBI called the IRS.
