The acting head of the Internal Revenue Service will resign in the wake of a deal struck on behalf of the agency that will see it share tax data on undocumented immigrants.

Melanie Krause, a commissioner at the IRS who is the third person to serve as its chief since the start of the year, will pack up her desk as part of the deferred resignation program offered by the Trump administration, the Treasury Department announced Tuesday.

The news of her plans to leave the federal agency comes less than a week before the deadline for individual tax returns.

Krause decided to resign in an apparent protest of the Trump administration’s actions, sources told the Washington Post.

Why do they need to make a contract? It sounds like there seems to be agreement between two parties in order to do what Trump, as their boss, ordered

Because sharing tax information with the federal Gov’t on US citizens if just fine.

But, sharing how much taxpayer money was given to illegal aliens, who were also given Social Security numbers illegally - well, that’s somehow sacred.

Hunt those parasites down like dogs, get every cent back; then find those who committed TREASON and deal with them, the way traitors richly deserve to be treated.

Unfortunately what a lot of people don’t realize is these swamp rats can reapply for a federal job in the future after agreeing to leave under the deferred resignation program.

I bet she slithers back in to the federal government at some point in the future.

Sounds more like she has something to hide.

There is never perfection. If one can’t take the wins they get because of future pessimisms what point is there in doing anything?

Some problems just have to be addressed later, for now this one is gone.

So now that she’s gone, can the IRS just hand all the illegals over to DHS?

Yeah, it just pisses me off that she’s basically getting rewarded for quitting ....too bad President Trump didn’t fire her......termination is the kiss of death in federal service and one of the very few reasons you can’t rehire with the fed gov.
