The Internal Revenue Service’s top lawyer has reportedly been demoted as Elon Musk’s DOGE agency continues its push to get access to confidential taxpayer data.
William Paul, the IRS’ acting chief counsel, was recently removed from his position, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing multiple sources.

I suspect they'll find more than a little corruption with employees paid to alter tax records and even more so, employees spying for Democrats and leaking confidential information.
All personnel actions are done by the. Secretary not by DOGE.

I know that and you know that, but the media doesn’t want the “people” to know that. It gets more clicks if they present the narrative that Musk is just going in and deleting and stealing info and firing people who get in his way.
A non-political appointee. There are no non-political appointees.
Bingo but the left and media has a different script aka Fiction Reports.
