#2 The Finance Committee found that the IRS had 27 employees who traveled 125 business days at a cost of more than $1.4 million in fiscal year 2015.

Wasn't that about one(1) obama trip to the islands?
Maybe I've got that confused with the moose's shopping trip to Spain.

Another employee spent nearly half a year living in the Grand Hyatt in Washington, D.C., which cost taxpayers $38,799.

Mmmm...$38799/6 months/4 weeks each/7 days each~$240/day. Low end for TDY to DC.

#3 True to form, I believe our beloved congress critters have scuttled their bid to impeach the odious IRS Director Koskinen.

#4 Somebody probably threatened to release their tax returns?

Yes, there's something to be said for congressional resolve. Not very much mind you. But something to be said.

#6 I think Besoeker suggested moving IRS HQ to East St. Louis. I think Nome, AK would be more fitting.

#7 Certainly the power demand for datacenter cooling will be less.
