The IRS has notified congressional staff that top officials in the agency’s Affordable Care Act implementation team were recently placed on administrative leave for potential improprieties, according to a congressional source.
The agency told lawmakers that Fred Schindler, who is Sarah Hall Ingram’s deputy, and another staffer in the division were put on leave. The move is the result of gifts the staffers allegedly received — including $1,100 in free food and other items — while attending a 2010 health care conference. The IRS didn’t immediately comment.
The agency is surrounded in scandal after acknowledging last month that it wrongly targeted tea party groups applying for a tax exemption. The IRS came under additional scrutiny yesterday after an inspector general released a report saying the agency spent about $49 million on conferences between 2010 and 2012.
Acting IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel placed Lois Lerner, a senior official in the division overseeing nonprofits, on leave last month.

Once you enter into a legal situation...like an EEO complaint....you can stay at home and get paid while they spend weeks and months investigating the whole mess. I would make a guess that on any given day in DC....within the district....there must be 200 people on such leave.
threaten them with losing jobs, pension and we’ll see them rat their aboves out
stupid party keeps doing hearings which is doing nothing but making obama laugh at them.
Arrest, fire them take their pensions and then we’ll see some progress, until them it’s all about pacing this out, , the media moves on and still have of this country has nom idea about any of this corruption
Hmmm, I thought I had already "Valerie Jarrett"ed this thread...

funny how our house is still closed while the royal dictator is having parties, concerts and his family live there..
The stupid party is where?
Would anyone be surprised to find every single government department was corrupt and operating outside the law/Constitution?
The IRS should be disbanded and it’s agents prosecuted as soon as possible.
So the IRS is being bought to dispense 0bamaCare favors.
Rarely, they are even caught.
The rest of the time, you’re just DEAD!!!
Holy cats...that's one of the best puns ever seen on FR. Good job!
Wish I could have an unlimited paid vacation.
IRS employees overall are most certainly disproportionately over represented by minorities, many of which shuffle around drinking coffee and getting in the way of anyone that is working. Like much of govt.
Absolutely correct! And once it has blown over, they'll all be promoted.
How about , instead of placed on leave, we get “placed in jail”.
Administrative leave doesn’t hack it. Governors should be issuing indictments and arrest warrants. These IRS Nazi pigs violated our civil rights. Send state SWAT teams to their homes at 3am to arrest them.
Let me help you out, buddy.
IRS employees overall are most certainly disproportionately over represented by fat, 70 IQ slobs who wouldn’t last five minutes on a battlefield.
Now, we have to ask why Americans are afraid of fat slobs who carry purses, wear eye makeup and piss in their pants like babies.
Make war on the IRS. Fill out their forms in sloppy, barely legible handwriting. Enter quarterly estimates for trivial results. Amend prior year returns in the same way. Ask for $2 refunds. Make them work for it. Sure, they’ll just print the money as they need it anyway, but at least the agency could be crippled by too abundant paperwork for a while.
I like the way you think. It’s beautiful for cooking up a revolutionary stew.
heehee, thanks, nice to meet you too, I have put forth that idea for a couple of years but it does not catch on much. I need to become more effective I guess. I would gum (pun intended) up the USPS also by sending everything a few cents postage due.
“I would gum (pun intended) up the USPS also by sending everything a few cents postage due.”
I like that. Where have you been hiding for the past 20 years?
I’m just a dumb grunt, and you’re suggesting viable ways to bring down leftists.
Like I said, I like the way you think.
including $1,100 in free food and other items
