I can't find anything anywhere else corroborating it. If this is factual, I'm not that worried about new IRS agents doing anything to me. Other than negligent discharge.

What's distressing is how enthusiastic these kids are to arrest someone "stealing money from the government".

Now it may very well be that some of the 87,000 will be IT people or clerical staff, but then why doesn't the IRS specify that and say that they are hiring various types of workers? If you say "IRS agent", that implies auditors, fed cops, and other enforcement personnel. Not to mention that this whole thing has been pushed by fed.gov itself (with MSM help) of hiring "agents" to go after plumbers who lost a receipt.

Post by: HankB on August 20, 2022, 10:43:19 AM: During her six (6) years in the House of Representatives, Liz Cheney's net worth reportedly increased from $7,000,000 to $44,000,000, an average of over $6,000,000 per year.

On a salary of $174,000 per year.

I have an idea of where to employ at least a couple of those 87,000 new IRS auditors.

(Hmmm . . . Liz Cheney's father was VP, just like Hunter Biden's father was VP. Maybe "Child of the VP" is a lucrative career?)
