The IRS seized millions dollars from innocent individuals and businesses because it was easier than targeting terrorists and drug dealers, a new report from the Treasury Department’s internal watchdog has revealed.
A report from Treasury’s Inspector General found that the IRS misused a law aimed at cracking down on organized crime and terrorism to target innocent individuals and businesses. Agents adopted a policy of seizing cash before investigating for other wrongdoing because it was just easier to seize the money of innocent people than hardened criminals and terrorists.
“One of the reasons why legal source cases were pursued was that the Department of Justice had encouraged task forces to engage in ‘quick hits,’ where property was more quickly seized and more quickly resolved through negotiation, rather than pursuing cases with other criminal activity (such as drug trafficking and money laundering), which are more time-consuming,” according to the report .

ReplyDeleteKill him, or, at least fire him NOW!
American KGB = the IRS
ReplyDeleteSo, they KNEW innocent people were getting property and money confiscated without charges or trial, but also knowing that the power of their agency was so great that the average person couldn't fight, they did it anyway.
ReplyDeletePut THEM in prison.
It was, and still is, NOTHING BUT strong-arming the citizens for cash by armed and dangerous people under the color of law. At least, in a robbery, you can resist. With THEM, it's "comply or die" (the actual mantra).
Almost SEVEN BILLION dollars worth of property and cash were confiscated from Americans just last year --- without a single charge or trial.
Keep cheering.
