The acting head of the Internal Revenue Service will resign in the wake of a deal struck on behalf of the agency that will see it share tax data on undocumented immigrants.

Melanie Krause, a commissioner at the IRS who is the third person to serve as its chief since the start of the year, will pack up her desk as part of the deferred resignation program offered by the Trump administration, the Treasury Department announced Tuesday.

The news of her plans to leave the federal agency comes less than a week before the deadline for individual tax returns.

But it was OK to leak Trump’s taxes.

More Swamp self-deportation.

A liberal lefty, induced pre-puberty, placeholder.

Yet they sure as hell did not resign , any of them, when it came to takingdown tea party people via taxation, and releasing confidential info on PDJT.

The IRS deep state is about to become the External Revenue Service.

So, she’s going to be jobless in protest. Just who does she think she will affect or impede? Who gives a rat’s petute? Maybe the moth is too close to the fire?

“Melanie Krause, ..., will pack up her desk as part ..., the Treasury Department announced Tuesday.”

Please tell us her desk is already ‘packed up’ and a box will be delivered to her and she won’t be allowed ANY access to anything at work - passwords changed, locks changed ...

OR THAT SHE IS ESCORTED IN AND OUT BY ARMED GUARDS AND WATCHED CAREFULLY AS SHE OPENS EACH DRAWER AND JUST TAKES PERSONAL ITEMS.

This is your NGO at work..
These lefty NGOs work with illegal immigrantsfor decades.. they meet them at the federal court, get a hearing set 7 years out... then..
. step 1. TIN/social security number, step 2 sign up for benefits, state/federal step 3. get divers license or ID card, step 4 go vote.

Some do day work, others get real jobs, most do nothing but collect benefits.

Harris/Biden along with uniparty Republicans pulled a coward pliven on the US.. 12 million illegals in 4 years..

Overwhelm the system so it breaks, them build a new one.. just another communist scumbags attempt to ruin America.

Yeah, she is definitely doofus looking. That being said, here's a link to another article.

The Biden-appointed and Senate-confirmed IRS commissioner, Danny Werfel, resigned on Inauguration Day. The acting commissioner who succeeded him, Doug O’Donnell, refused to sign a data-sharing agreement with DHS in February. Shortly after that, he retired. Krause then took over in an acting capacity. She had only been at the IRS for three-and-a-half years before her decision to leave.

This is what jumps out here. Ok, so Werfel and O'Donnell bailed, leaving her in charge. But she has only been there 3 and a half years! How does that happen? What humongous qualifications does she have to elevated so high in the IRS after only being there 3 and a half years?

What, me worry?

Wasn’t Danny Werfel a backup QB somewhere? She was third string?
