As the Internal Revenue Service seeks to bolster the ranks of its weapon-carrying Criminal Investigation unit, a former special agent described the inner workings of the division and said its key function is “to put the fear of God in people” and intimidate Americans into tax compliance.
Former IRS Special Agent Robert Nordlander told Accounting Today, in a wide-ranging interview published on Feb. 20, that while most Americans have a sense of what IRS tax audits look like, the work of the IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) unit is shrouded in some mystery.
Dubbed “gun-toters,” the armed special agents in the unit are responsible for enforcing those parts of tax code whose violations amount to crimes, he said. “When crimes are committed, the IRS-CI are the ones that actually enforce” the law, Nordlander said.
The IRS-CI examines potential criminal activity related to tax crimes and makes recommendations for prosecution to the tax division of the Department of Justice (DOJ).
There are now around 2,100 “gun-toters” in the criminal investigations division, and the IRS—flush with funds from a new cash injection—is looking to hire more special agents.
Carissa Cutrell, a public affairs officer at IRS-CI, told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement that the unit is hoping to hire between 300 and 350 special agents this year.
In the mid-1990s, the unit had around 3,500 special agents and Cutrell said they lose between 150 and 175 agents each year due to retirement and attrition.

The deep state does not serve Jesus Christ, the Lord.
Sounds like it’s getting about time to start feeding the hogs... They confuse themselves as to who is God, and who is not. That is always a fatal mistake.
“Put the fear of God into some...” Yeah... That’s the talk of someone that’s never been under fire.
I doubt that many Americans realize that every law and regulation, from punishing serial killers to punishing traffic scoflaws, is ultimately backed up by the threat of deadly force. The govt knows this.
I don’t do threats well...
Regardless of the personal cost...Don’t eff with old people...we don’t care.
+1👍
If I had the ability to do so I would decamp today and leave this land that democraps have turned into a stinking sh!thole. I carry no allegience to these criminals. It may come in a few years but I want out of here now.
NOT the fear of GOD-—
The fear of the IRS
IRS is the collection agent for the Federal Reserve. That is all.
So I am seeing lots of posts about how Americans are going to use the 2A and resist.
85% of this country is unquestionably obedient…. Proof? The covid vax.
The IRS and everyone in the #arulingClass know to strike while the iron is hot.
Most obedient USA since it’s founding.
We hide out in echo chambers and refuse to stand on any hill.
America is finished without Divine intervention. It is ruled by people who mean to destroy the very foundations of its existence.
BS. Many were coerced into taking the jab with the loss of employment as the cudgel.
” A civilian security force as well equipped and as well funded, as the U.S. military”
Seems to me, I remember some little Chicago queer ranting on about something to this effect.
Well, we’re going to get it.
There is also the "10% for the big guy" that has to be funded. They gotta make sure that US taxpayer money keeps rolling in.
Under trained and more incompetent that the rest of the IRS.
The enforcers of legalized theft of the common people for the benefit of the elites....whadda job. /s
There was a gun battle upn here mountains in the 1930`s between them revenooers and the mountaintop farmers who had hootch whiskey stills. Unbeknownst to them revenooers, these farmers were WW1 vets. They had done brought back with them some German war trophies, namely, German machine guns. Them reveennoers were outgunned. They done beat their tails back to washungtton DC. and never came back. That`s how it`s done. I personally knew one of the farmers and he showed me the stone wall where the machineguns were firing from. It`s in the 1930`s newpapers here.
“its key function is “to put the fear of God in people” and intimidate Americans into tax compliance.”**
**Unless your name happens to be al sharpton, jesse jackson, patrice cullors, etc, etc.
American Gestapo.
Also, after WWI, all the American Legion Posts in the USA each received a German machine gun from the War Dept. It`s in all the newspapers of that time.
You really don't want to say that and I can't tell you now right now.
