You can bet the rent it was authorized by those at the highest levels of this corrupt government. Leftist operate with complete control...They're control freaks by nature and it's extremely likely they don't even trust each other, based on recent events alone.
Even if done verbally, it could also mean they know they got their teet in the ringer as they attempt to hide/isolate or insulate themselves evidence/leaks or additional whistle blowers as they attempt to deceive their way through this.
If they think they got more potential whistle blowers coming, you're going to keep your mouth shut or risk stepping in it big time.

Absolutely!! That is the only place the IRS reports to. Just from the arrogance of the testimony the other day shows that they don’t even have a fear of Congress. It is a totally corrupt, politicized, rogue agency that strikes fear in the hearts of every working, tax-paying citizen. It was specifically singled out by odongo to enforce obamacare for that very reason. It is also the most despised, hated, reviled agency in the Fed govt. I couldn’t even begin to imagine of having to work there. Just as they give no citizen a break, neither should they be given a break. It needs to be poured on relentlessly. Give no break to any of these bassturds. The only solution is the abolishment of it.
