IRS knowingly rehired tax cheats, other employees with ‘performance’ issues: Audit
Washington Times ^ | February 5, 2015 | Stephen Dinan

The IRS rehired hundreds of employees who had prior records of bad performance at the agency, including 141 former workers who had botched their own tax returns and others who had used their positions to peek at private tax information, the agency’s inspector general said in a report released Thursday.

Five IRS employees were rehired even though the agency knew they had intentionally failed to file their taxes within the last two years, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration J. Russell George said. Of the employees with prior problems, nearly 20 percent of them had more problems after they were rehired.

In another instance, an employee who has taken eight weeks of unauthorized vacation and whose previous manager had written a note explicitly stating “do not rehire,” was nonetheless rehired.

...

The IRS has been under fire for political mismanagement since it admitted two years ago that it had improperly targeted tea party groups for special scrutiny, and delayed approving applications for years. The agency also has had to revamp its rules to cut out lavish conferences after investigators reported employees were spending money on items such as a spoof “Star Trek” training video.

All government is corrupt now. They see their “leader” lie constantly and ignore laws - so why should they?

Just a ‘hi’ George, haven’t talked to you in some time!

How can you prove that someone intentionally failed to do something?

I mean: How do you prove that they didn't merely forget to do it?

Good grief! Why doesn’t the IRS just run a few phone trunk lines to local prisons and hire those prison inmates to handle their calls?! They both seem to have the same mentality!
