News from the Hive Mind

According to Alex Mena, an IRS official with the criminal investigations unit in New York, who met with O’Keefe Media Group’s undercover journalist, the IRS uses artificial intelligence technology to spy on American citizens and company bank accounts without a warrant or evidence to uncover what they consider fraud. According to the source, the IRS is “going after the small people” and “destroying people’s lives.” All of the agents are “like robots,” said Mena. [More]

A Taxing Proposition

Ex-IRS Consultant Took Job With Intention Of Stealing Trump’s Tax Returns: DOJ [More]

How is it that a consultant can get carte blanche instead of controlled access to limited files pertaining to a contract with authorization safeguards?

And when are they going to prosecute the co-conspirator receivers of stolen information, like The New York Times and ProPublica?

We’re the Only Ones Wasted Enough

Internal Revenue Service Employee Brandished Toy Gun at Service Center in Utah… Bryner also indicated he had a medical marijuana card and uses marijuana … Bryner made two attempts to purchase rifles from a federally licensed firearms dealer in Ogden, Utah. On both purchase forms, Bryner certified he is neither an unlawful user of nor addicted to marijuana. [More]

This was in March– I haven’t been able to determine what happened to the case, if anything yet.

I’m curious to see if he’s been offered the same “consent to permanent entry” deal as Hunter Biden.

Speaking of Sending Hither Swarms of Officers to Harass Our People…

During my visit to Highwood Creek Outfitters, I learned that the IRS confiscated all the 4473 forms from the store. This means that the sensitive personal information of any customer ever to purchase a firearm at Highwood Creek Outfitters is now in the hands of the IRS. These background check forms include no financial information, and there is no discernable reason why the IRS would need these forms. The IRS committed an egregious breach of privacy for Montana’s gun owners, and I am outraged that the agents involved showed no regard for federal law. Although there are still some murky details regarding the events at Highwood Creek Outfitters. There is no circumstance in which 4473’s would be necessary in an investigation spearheaded by the IRS.

I guess seizing records outright beats taking pictures with their phones. Funny, how this most significant piece of information got buried until the end of the “news” account…

The Way the Game is Played

Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst is introducing a bill on Tuesday that would prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from arming its agents with taxpayer money. [More]

She’s pandering to rah-rah Republican gun owners over something she knows damn well doesn’t have a chance in hell of passing and counting on them being oblivious to her screwing them in Biden’s ‘Bipartisan’ Betrayal.

Life Imitates Art

The IRS on Monday removed the “entire investigative team” from its long-running tax fraud probe of first son Hunter Biden in alleged retaliation against the whistleblower who recently contacted Congress to allege a cover-up in the case, The Post has learned. [More]

I remember that scene…

“Where’s the media outrage,” you ask…?

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Despite showing nine Biden family members allegedly receiving funds from corrupt figures in Romania, China and other countries, The New Republic quickly ran a story headlined “Republicans Finally Admit They Have No Incriminating Evidence on Joe Biden.” [More]

And that’s why I call ’em the DSM.

Party-Approved!

The IRS under Joe Biden, like the IRS under Obama, has “subjected an elections nonprofit to a battery of prying questions about its policy positions, language choices and methodology for arriving at correct opinions and conclusions prior to peremptorily rejecting its application for tax-exempt status without appeal.” [More]

Funny. They’re not doing that with Everytown or…

How did the complaint go again? Oh, yeah:

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

About That Future Swarms of Officers Field Trip

Fact Check-Photos do not show IRS recruiting or training program for thousands of new armed agents [More]

What’s that saying about assumptions? I know I kneejerk made them.

As objectionable as the reality still is, it’s important for us to be precise.

That said, let’s look at the ones who aren’t accounting students on a day trip:

IRS Agents Accidentally Discharged Guns More Often than They Intentionally Fired Them
