But as we’ve seen even fired employees of the IRS still get paid.

I’m sure the Hoe is on paid leave. I want to see her put in prison!
As for replacing her all they have done is put another corrupt liberal in her place. The entire IRS needs to be cleaned and fumigated.

Good point. Not surprising, though, considering the AP is part of the leftist movement.

They’ll put her on leave until “everything cools down” and then promote her and give her all her “back pay” with interest. “It’s good to be the king!”

This won’t do, the well has been poisoned. IRS needs to be shut down, period. FairTax will work.

It would still be a good question to ask if she ever reappears before Congress.

What’s with this weird pretense in American business and gummint of asking execs to resign when they should be fired, and if they refuse then still not firing them?

She needs to go to jail. I pray they find the evidence to throw the whole bunch, including obama, in jail for a long long time.
