A few months ago, the Internal Revenue Service made a big show of firing incompetent employees. But, bureaucracies look after their own - from The Washington Free Beacon:
IRS Rehired Employees That Falsified Documents, Had Unauthorized Access to Taxpayer Information
The Internal Revenue Service rehired employees who were previously involved in agency misconduct such as falsifying documents or having unauthorized access to sensitive taxpayer information, according to an audit from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
Considering that identify theft is a major concern, auditors wanted to inspect the agency to ensure the individuals they hire are of high integrity in safeguarding sensitive taxpayer information.
The auditors found there were 200 employees who were rehired between January 2015 and March 2016 that were terminated or separated from the agency that were either under investigation or had some misconduct that caused them to leave.
Some more swamp for President Trump to drain. Actually, I am very surprised to see that Koskinen is still the Chairman.
