IRS Insider Blows Lid Off “Culture of Corruption”
The New American ^ | 2/14/2014 | Alex Newman

Posted on 02/14/2014 6:22:44 AM PST by detective

As a growing cloud of perpetual mega-scandal continues to swirl around the embattled Internal Revenue Service, an IRS insider who has worked as an attorney at the tax agency’s Office of the General Counsel for over 26 years is now blowing the whistle on what he says is systemic, massive corruption as well as routine abuse of taxpayers. In an explosive exposé posted on Power Line, William Henck accused the agency — currently under fire for targeting political groups the Obama administration disagrees with — of embezzlement, bullying elderly taxpayers, retaliatory audits, scams, and more.

The woman who has done my nails for twenty years (I know - that’s a topic for another thread) is my favorite low information voter. She is IMHO the canary in the mineshaft. She has voted for the winner now in every election for president since she was old enough to vote. (I think she’s in her 50s) But, in spite of voting twice for the O, she’s registered as a Republican. She’s convinced that she was recently audited because she’s registered as R. So she’s paying attention to these scandals.

IRS has a long history of blowing billions of dollars on failed attempts to implement new IT systems. Its not really fraud but rather monumental mismanagement.

This is a well known fact in the Washington DC consulting world. Congress is also aware of this but generally tolerates it and does nothing. Which is what congress is good at.

The media will brand him as a disgruntled kook. They will marginalize and censure him.

I remember calling the IRS a few years ago about a tax problem, and this guy I got on the phone sounded like the worst kind of West coast valley stoner surfer dude you could ever imagine, “Chaaaa man..huh huh.. yeah like if you like file yer taxes again man..huh huh...with like the corrections ..huh huh ..you’ll like be paying more but like you’ll be proper huh huh.” That was about the same time that movie “Team America” came out and I remember sitting in the theater watching that scene with the master computer I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E....thinking that’s EXACTLY how that guy talked. I can just imagine the kind of leftists they got running that whole freakin’ debacle. “Yo Jeff Spicoli, check it out man... this dude insulted our great leader Obama. That is so like narly and not rad at alll...we have to F this guy over man.” I just know that’s exactly the kind of crap going on there. And people don’t think there is the potential for abuse when it comes to them doling out fines for not buying Obamacommiecare? ha ha ha ha!

I think the IRS scandal is the one that scares the lefties the most, because the IRS has intentionally gained a reputation of thuggery in order to intimidate people into compliance.

Therefore, even the LIVs understand when the IRS is corrupt, they can be targeted as well.

This lawyer is a lone wolf crying in the wilderness. No one hears him, especially all the jerks in congress. Too bad so sad.

As long as my memory is, I cannot remember a government IT rollout that was successful, on time or on budget. None.

WND’s report revealed the IRS contracts with an avowedly “progressive” organization, the Urban Institute, supported by George Soros to process data filed by smaller tax-exempt groups.

Not much here. This is the key passage;

Henck said he had no personal knowledge of the IRS being used as a political attack dog to target conservative organizations and individuals. However, he also noted that the “environment within the agency is ripe for such activity and there is nothing to prevent it from occurring.”

If he has no documentation, it will be dismissed as sour grapes.

IRS Insider Blows Lid Off “Culture of Corruption”

And the MSM immediately installed a new, stronger lid with an even tighter seal.

Yes, they will. That may lead to his depression, causing him to commit suicide by a single shot to the back of the head.

It's good that more patriots are speaking out however. Some will die.

"See something, say something" ALERT!

HOORAY William Henck, patriot.
