| IRS Rehires 213 Employees Ousted for Falsifying Documents, Avoiding Taxes, Other Offenses |
| 2017-08-16 |
| h/t Instapundit The Internal Revenue Service rehired 213 employees who ducked taxes, falsified documents, were convicted of theft, or made unauthorized use of taxpayer data, an inspector general’s report says. The Office of Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, which also first discovered the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups in 2013, examined the agency’s hiring from January 2015 through March 2016. For these 15 months, the IRS official in charge was Commissioner John Koskinen, an appointee of President Barack Obama. House Republicans for months sought to impeach Koskinen for obstructing a congressional probe into the agency’s targeting of the applications for tax-exempt status made by nonprofit tea party and conservative groups. |

| #5 IRS HR rules A lot of HR needs to be cleaned out, just not at the IRS or government. |

| #4 IRS HR rules do not allow reviewing applicants' previous IRS personnel files so if the applicants do not reveal their previous termination reasons their history may not be used against them. And I think these rehirings occurred over a year ago. |

| #3 Sounds like the IRS really doesn't need all that kooshy budget, does it? |

| #2 ...This one's easy. Set up a new Inuit Outreach program in Point Barrow, AK. And send every last one of them there. Mike |
