Acting IRS commissioner takes a buy-out in protest because she doesn’t want DHS to know where the illegal aliens are

Imagine leaving your extremely well-paying government “job” (complete with generous perks, courtesy of the taxpayer) all because you don’t want to share any information you have on the whereabouts of criminal illegal aliens.

Enter Melanie Krause, the (third this year) former acting IRS commissioner, who just left the post after the Treasury (Krause’s boss) and DHS signed a deal to share tax information on said illegals. But it’s not even the huddled masses, sob-story Elián González type of illegals (which don’t get me wrong, need to go too), but illegals who are “already facing deportation orders and who are under criminal investigation.”

To be clear though, Krause is still going to get paid, at least for a little while—she’s utilizing a “deferred resignation” program. Don’t you just love to pay the salaries of government employees who aren’t even working? Talk about getting screwed six ways to Sunday. It’s not like the agency will go without a leader and we’ll all get a little reprieve—they’ll just hire another acting director, and we will foot the bill.

For context, Krause’s predecessor, Doug O’Donnell, resigned in February over the very same issue, cashing in on a substantial retirement package.

Laughably, the IRS swamp responded with this:

Lawyers with the IRS said the data-sharing agreement likely violates privacy laws, the Washington Post reported.,i.

The government is concerned about privacy violations? I’ve never heard such an outrageous claim. Yes, the same government that renewed the Patriot Act, and the same IRS that allowed hackers to obtain sensitive tax documents time and time again.

Journalist Joseph Sobran once quipped:

In theory, the Federal Government works for us. Does anyone believe that? The truth is we work for them. If the IRS calls you in… do you feel like you’re talking to your servant?

She should be arrested for withholding evidence in a criminal investigation. Can we stop playing nice with these pigs? Throw her in jail and make her spend her ill gotten gains defending her criminal activities. If not seditious activities.

Because they are receiving revenue? Their job is to raise money, and they don’t care where it comes from.

Remember, they expect criminals to send in the tax due on their loot.

Insubordination.

It should forfeit her retirement and buyout for this.

I have kind of gotten used to it.

In fact I rather prefer it.

The IRS employee I am currently arguing with over pizza for a work crew being a business expense is, technically, working. However I would say that his time would be better spent playing Minecraft and leaving me in peace.

They do not inform you if your SS number is stolen, why would they inform ICE?

The IRS claims that sharing tax info with CONTRACTORS is fine. But sharing with DOGE is problematic??

Criminal illegal alien INVADERS.

I think she was looking forward to what comes next. First, she was being told to provide information on illegal aliens. Next, she was going to be told to provide information on off shore deposits by Democrats and illegal tax shelters. She bailed rather than betray the criminal Democrat machine.
