As Cripplecreek said Trafficant got in trouble for “petty stuff”, but he took on the IRS and exposed and complained about their tactics. Next thing you know he goes to prison. You can’t mess with the IRS—the ones the messiah wants to monitor his healthcare compliance! I still think he was railroaded because despite his being a Democrat—most people in Youngstown Ohio are—, he gave his One Minute rants about Democrats’ stupidity.
You’re right; NOBODY can mess with the IRS. The former head of the Iranian Secret Police who was living in exile in Upper Saddle River, N.J., told a friend of mine that the IRS is the most powerful and feared intelligence agency in the world. He said that had he had the powers and the resources the IRS has, the Shah would not have been overthrown.
Said the FBI and CIA could throw themselves at the ground and miss. LOL
