Maybe the IRS Needs TO Be Audited?

[gab13by13]

I understand the IRS has been gutted but with that said;

Remember this, Trump appointed Charles Rettig as IRS commissioner, the most extreme audits were done to Trump's "enemies" Comey and McCabe, remember? People raised holy hell about the audits so Rettig had the IRS IG look into the Comey/McCabe audits and the IG of course, found no wrong doing.

Rettig has retired, thank goodness, and Treasury Secretary Yellen has appointed Doug O'Donnell as acting IRS commissioner. I have no idea if O'Donnell is an honest man but Rettig wrote a letter praising him, which gives me pause.

The IRS OIG is vacant. Why? The Deputy Inspector General is Richard Delmar.

I mean Democrats control the Senate, why can't they get good people confirmed to IRS positions? Is this a Manchin/Sinema problem, or worse?

Simple system.

Not just donors, sitting Congressmen also.

4. Need a complete Senate investigation at all levels of the IRS

Including personal tax returns. Those who are responsible for dereliction of duty need to be fired and charged criminally as appropriate.

6. The IRS is grosly understaffed and underfunded.

7. Trump has been a one man audit of the US govt

And the US failed the audit.

9. Audit the rich also. Fund it by buying one less fighter jet.

Audit the rich should be a battle cry for the working class.
