The IRS official chosen to lead the new "centralized office" featuring the nearly 87,000 new employees funded in President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act was involved in the agency's targeting of conservative groups that opposed Barack Obama's reelection in 2012.


IRS official Nikole Flax

Nikole Flax served as the chief of staff for then acting IRS Commissioner Stephen Miller, who was fired amid a cover-up of the scandal. When Republican lawmakers sought communications related to the scandal in an investigation, Flax's emails were among those the agency claimed were lost in a computer hard-drive crash. The IRS, the lawmakers charged, was attempting to "cover up the fact that it conveniently lost key documents in the investigation."

On Friday, as the Daily Signal reported, IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig said in an email to employees that the agency will establish a  "new, centralized office" to implement elements of the bill, including the nearly 87,000 new IRS agents. The partisan bill, signed without a Republican vote, provides $80 billion to the IRS, mostly to pay for the new agents through 2031.

What else would we expect of these commies?

I'm heartened to see that you're finally recognizing these people for who they are.

So many of the other "conservatives" in this forum still call them by their now-outdated moniker of "democrats".

Good job, Comrade mountaineer!

Finally? I'm the one who has called the VP "Kommiela" since day one.

And Republicans did nothing about it.

They never do.

I'm surprised it wasn't Lois Lerner herself.

Say hello to your new Steuerngestapo overlords.

The IRS can't fill the jobs they have open now.  No way they can fill 87K more.  I think we are safe.

And Republicans did nothing about it.

And will CONTINUE to do nothing about it.
