Taibbi and the IRS

The IRS Makes a Strange House Call | House Judiciary Committee Republicans.

Now Mr. Taibbi has told Mr. Jordan’s committee that an IRS agent showed up at his personal residence in New Jersey on March 9. That happens to be the same day Mr. Taibbi testified before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government about what he learned about Twitter. The taxman left a note instructing Mr. Taibbi to call the IRS four days later. Mr. Taibbi was told in a call with the agent that both his 2018 and 2021 tax returns had been rejected owing to concerns over identity theft.

I saw this a few days ago and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. I have a problem with this.

The IRS has usurped far too much power and now is being used as a weapon and no doubt willingly.

I’d like to see any evidence that this happened, given the fact that Taibbi is a well known bull ■■■■ artist.

Wasn’t he under oath?

Just history repeating itself. This isn’t the first time in US history that government agencies targeted citizens for becoming inconvenient
