IRS ethics lawyer facing possible disbarment, accused of lying

A lawyer in the IRS ethics office is facing the possibility of being disbarred, according to records that accuse her of lying to a court-appointed board and hiding what she’d done with money from a settlement that was supposed to go to two medical providers who had treated her client.

The disciplinary arm of the D.C. Court of Appeals has recommended that Takisha McGee, a section manager in the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility, lose her law license over the charge, which stems from a personal injury case she worked about a year before she joined the tax agency.

From what we've seen, and what is baldly obvious to all of us, she should have plenty of company on her way out the door! Fire them all!

"So what to do with an an ethics lawyer with ethical problems? Given the law and regulations, it’s effectively impossible to fire someone who goes astray like Takisha McGee. So the IRS did the next best thing in the IRS book. The agency sent her to Orlando, Fla., the home of Mickey Mouse, to give a lecture titled (and we’re definitely not making this up) “When Your License to Practice Before the IRS is on the Line.” But who can deny that she is in a place to know what she’s talking about?

When you get lemons, make lemonade.

And of course 10:41, being a less than careful greedy IRS Liaryer, you then drink it all by yourself. Why share when your boss Lois Lerner refused to share, because her boss didn't want her to share. It's called the rotating lie, only lawyers are allowed in the circle, everyone contributes, nobody tells on or punishes the other. Case solved!
