KirtFalcon Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 NATIONAL REVIEW IRS Deletes Job Posting Seeking Applicants Willing to ‘Use Deadly Force’ Diana Glebova Wed, August 10, 2022, 2:21 PM The IRS deleted a job posting Wednesday seeking a Special Agent “willing to use deadly force” for its law enforcement division, Criminal Investigation (CI). The deletion came amid renewed scrutiny of the IRS in response to a Democrat-backed spending bill that would double the size of the agency. “As a Special Agent you will combine your accounting skills with law enforcement skills to investigate financial crimes,” the job advertisement read. “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,” the job posting continued. The “Major Duties” listed in the job description included “a level of fitness necessary to effectively respond to life-threatening situations on the job,” and being “willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments.” It also included a retirement of carrying “a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary.” Special Agents in the CI team are not new and have been trained to handle handguns, shotguns and long guns for years. Agents are issued one handgun for their career, according to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. The IRS’ 2021 Annual Report highlights that the CI team focuses on crimes including identity theft, general tax fraud, cyber crimes, international crimes, and more. The CI team also has Special Agent attaches stationed in 11 foreign countries. The post was deleted Monday after the job notice was shared on Twitter by documentarian Ford Fischer, garnering thousands of interactions. The IRS did not immediately respond to an inquiry from National Review asking why they deleted the job posting. The Democrat-backed spending bill, the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act,” was narrowly passed on Sunday by the Senate, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the decisive vote. The bill allocates $79.6 billion dollars to the IRS over the next ten years to “enhance” the agency, including funding for taxpayer services, enforcement, operations support, and business systems modernization. https://www.yahoo.com/news/irs-deletes-job-posting-seeking-212152157.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamewatcher63 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 If someone is suspected of illegal activity and the IRS needs to execute a search warrant then they can ask the FBI to help or even better local law enforcement who probably know the people involved…IRS does not need to be armed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyZuco Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I have to wonder why accountants would need firearms and have to use deadly force? And liberals wonder why people think "conspiracy theories"! I am betting that @EnjoyLife is loving this, since he is so anti-corporate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirtFalcon Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 I'll bet most Americans aren’t even aware that the IRS has armed agents, much less agents with fully automatic AR rifles who are authorized to use deadly force .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do in a way, but in reality we pay their taxes. When WalMart taxes go up, they don't just say "ok we make less money this quarter". They raise the price of their products by the same percentage and we end up paying more for a gallon of milk.....and everything else. That is somewhat simplified but how it is in the real world. When Exxon gets taxed more, it gets added to the price of fuel. And so on and so on. How dimocraps (and others) are so ignorant to cheer higher corporate taxes is beyond me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although after the American FSB's... I mean, after the FBI's un-Constitutional raids on Project Veritas and President Trump, not too sure they need to be armed either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Hagar knows the people quite well. The taxman in that strip always brought his executioner in case Hagar didn't pay up. Heck they can already put us in jail, now will they kill us. If the Democrats are against guns so much why do they want to arm them ? The Nazi's did the same thing with guns in taxing the rich and taking their artwork. While "The Monuments Men" was a movie about retrieving the stolen artwork, maybe one should have been made about them taking it. This sounds like something the U.S.S.R. and Chiner has done as well.

88YoePride Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Of course, the IRS still has a training video teaching them how to execute an arrest warrant on a billionaire who's been using his company jet for private trips. OH no, wait - That training video shows IRS agents how to take down an average middle-income contractor who improperly registered a work vehicle.
