The Inflation “Reduction” Act includes hiring 87,000 new IRS agents, doubling the agency’s size.
Did you know the IRS has a Criminal Investigation unit? It’s the law enforcement branch of the Internal “Revenue” Service. (“Revenue” is in quotes because taxation is theft. They’re taking our money.)
The branch is not new. IRS Commissioner Daniel C. Roper created the unit in 1919.
But now that we know we’ll have a lot more IRS agents, we should pay closer attention to the agency. Let’s look at a job posting!
“Carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary.”
“Be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments.”
What.
Criminal Investigation (CI) is the law enforcement branch of the IRS. Our mission is to serve the American public by investigating potential criminal violations of the Internal Revenue Code, and related financial crimes, in a manner that fosters confidence in the tax system and compliance with the law.As a Special Agent you will combine your accounting skills with law enforcement skills to investigate financial crimes. Special Agents are duly sworn law enforcement officers who are trained to “follow the money.” No matter what the source, all income earned, both legal and illegal, has the potential of becoming involved in crimes which fall within the investigative jurisdiction of the IRS Criminal Investigation. Because of the expertise required to conduct these complex financial investigations, IRS Special Agents are considered the premier financial investigators for the Federal government.
They want to investigate in a way that “fosters confidence in the tax system and compliance with the law.”
Yeah, nothing will do that more than knocking down a door and pointing a gun at someone.
Even your legally obtained income “has the potential of becoming involved in crimes which fall within the investigative jurisdiction” of this branch.
Special agent basic training takes six months to complete. Six months!
Plus, this job “offers special pay initiatives not offered with other IRS positions.”
If that didn’t scare you enough, VerifyThis.com confirmed the IRS spent almost $700,000 in ammunition in early 2022:
The order was for the IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) division, which is a federal law enforcement agency that conducts criminal investigations including tax violations, money laundering, cyber crimes, and organized crime involving drugs and gangs. There are more than 2,000 sworn special agents in the division.“Many of these cases are typically worked in conjunction with other state and federal law enforcement agencies. IRS-CI special agents have been carrying firearms throughout the more than 100-year history of the agency, and have found themselves dealing with some of the most dangerous criminals,” an IRS spokesperson told VERIFY.
I hope this woman is being sarcastic
