Despite a court preservation order, the IRS has wiped the hard drive of their former director of transfer pricing operations, Samuel Maruca.
Maruca is connected to the agency’s controversial retainer of law firm Quinn Emanuel. The IRS privately contracted the litigation firm to assist in an audit of a corporate taxpayer, overlooking the firm’s lack of any experience managing sensitive tax data.
The IRS has faced criticism for its decision, specifically from Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) 43% . In a letter to the IRS, Senator Hatch voiced his concern that the agency’s $2.2 million tax-payer funded contract with the outside firm was completely unnecessary; the IRS currently employs 40,000 individuals trained to manage taxpayer data and audits, as well as the expertise of the Chief Counsel and Department of Justice attorney.
To protect taxpayers, there are strict regulations from Congress that limit the necessary functions of the auditing process — including acquiring sworn testimony — to officers of the Treasury Department. According to Senator Hatch, the IRS neglected to follow protocol when they hired the outside firm without first requesting authorization from Congress to do so. The Finance Committee has never before seen such functions relegated to private contractors.

Samuel Maruca should be jailed until the hard drive with information is produced. The limitation should be 100 years. Those who wiped the drive should get the same. Then go after those who backed up information.
Criminals without consequences.
Gee, I’m so glad those republicans used the power of the purse to cut his agency’s budget last month - Not!
F’ing unreal.
What else has this administration been doing for the last 7 years?
To whom is the law firm Quinn Emanuel connected and beholden to?
Reminds me of one of the Planet of the Apes movies. “Brainwashing. Is that when you run cold water over the brain?”
“Oops.”
The IRS is the American Gestapo.

The IRS is a lawless agency and as a matter of procedure and routine arrogantly ignores federal law and the US Constitution!
