We have seen for some time how off-the-rails the FBI has become, a danger to a free society. More and more evidence now shows it’s not just the FBI. Every federal employee with a badge and gun seems to think he’s a law unto himself. This week the spotlight is on the IRS, and the Congress has to step up and rein the agency in.
While Matt Taibbi was testifying before Congress on the administration’s extensive censoring of social media content, the IRS appeared at his door, ostensibly to question him about his taxes, but obviously to intimidate him for showing up government censorship.
Mr. Taibbi has told Mr. Jordan’s committee that an IRS agent showed up at his personal residence in New Jersey on March 9. That happens to be the same day Mr. Taibbi testified before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government about what he learned about Twitter. The taxman left a note instructing Mr. Taibbi to call the IRS four days later. Mr. Taibbi was told in a call with the agent that both his 2018 and 2021 tax returns had been rejected owing to concerns over identity theft.
Mr. Taibbi has provided the committee with documentation showing his 2018 return had been electronically accepted, and he says the IRS never notified him or his accountants of a problem after he filed that 2018 return more than four-and-a-half years ago.
He says the IRS initially rejected his 2021 return, which he later refiled, and it was rejected again -- even though Mr. Taibbi says his accountants refiled it with an IRS-provided pin number. Mr. Taibbi notes that in neither case was the issue “monetary,” and that the IRS owes him a “considerable” sum.

She owed money to the IRS!
Wish me luck...
Actually we have Republicans to thank for this.
They do not have the right to enter your home. They must deal with your accountant. They simply cannot come in and dun you like that. Any action such as an agent claiming the right to enter my property without any proof of such authority will be met with extreme resistance.
It would be interesting to see the background experience of the armed IRS invasion team members. I will bet there are some seriously inferior people itching to use deadly force.

The CIA used to be restricted to foreign espionage, but they were allowed Special Agents and enforcement powers in the 1990s.
Good thing they are fighting fascism.
The IRS agents are using aliases.
You know, like criminals and fraudsters do.
The Ohio case is particularly troubling as the agent had no warrant and entered the home under a false name. The police were amiss in not arresting that goon on the spot for impersonating a government agent and making false threats. Congress should immediately call IRS officials on the carpet about why their agents are illegally harassing taxpayers and seizing gun registration information under a false warrant. State AGs should also be investigating and bringing state charges against these government goons.

Obama left all the residue and un-American parts of his regime behind in the 3-letter agencies to destroy the Constitution. And look at all havoc these individuals have done to America.
