Koskinen said the incident did not involve any taxpayer information. The IRS said the potential breach was an isolated incident.

ReplyDeleteNot to mention getting rid of the unconstitutional entity we call the President, who does the same thing in broad daylight.
DeleteAnd did this agent get to keep her job? What the hell is going on at the IRS? Please, it is bad enough that they have targeted "Enemies" of Obama, but could there be any more of a breach than the agent taking them all home with him/ her? The IRS has become one useless organizations! Enough with them. Get rid of the IRS which is illegal to begin with!
