You're correct. They're in a state of panic. This babe they just hired is an experienced scandal-controller and spin artist. She handled scandals for Bubba so she knows her onions and grits.

Looks like the IRS has a very flexible yearly budget where it can go out and hire anyone at any time if it feels it needs to protect itself....while the taxpayer foots the bill for these panicky self-defense measures.

It'd be interesting to know what Ms. O'Connor's hourly fee is for her capacity as an "advisor"....especially since it appears this scandal investigation can go on for a year or more.

Oh, the money she can make......

If this is the beginning of the end of the IRS, then I’m willing to look at her hourly rate as collateral damage.

Repeal the 16th amendment.
Abolish the IRS.

Whatever it takes....
