IRS NOW HIRING: Agents Willing To Use Deadly Force

Here we go again.

Remember not long ago when we reported how Biden’s new IRS commissioner Danny Warfel had laughed at conservative claims of armed IRS agents, and claimed that new agents would be “armed only with calculators”?

Well, the agency has again posted a hiring notice recruiting new field agents willing to use “deadly force” against American taxpayers.

According to the job listing right on the IRS website, the requirements for new IRS Special Agents will include that they:

  • Maintain a level of fitness necessary to effectively respond to life-threatening situations on the job.
  • Be willing and able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments.
  • Carry a firearm; must be prepared to protect him/herself or others from physical attacks at any time and without warning and use firearms in life-threatening situations; must be willing to use force up to and including the use of deadly force.

It’s right there in black and white. The job duties include carrying a gun and “the use of deadly force.” If IRS agents are paying a visit to the average American taxpayer, why on earth would they need to be packing heat? What are they expecting to happen? We know exactly what this is really about – intimidation. Especially intimidation of conservatives and Christians.

We know how the Deep State IRS operates. The agency is ripe with anti-conservative bias, and bad actors embedded deep within have weaponized the IRS against conservative organizations and individuals. We took the IRS to federal court for targeting Tea Party groups because of their conservative positions, and we won. We made the Obama-Biden IRS apologize for its despicable harassment and bullying.

Now under President Joe Biden, the reinvigorated Deep State is back at it. We took the IRS to court again for targeting a conservative CHRISTIAN organization called Christians Engaged. When the group applied for tax-exempt status, they were told in writing that their request had been denied because of their beliefs in prayer and Biblical values.

We stepped in and quickly filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and lawsuit demanding all records pertaining to the decision to deny their request.

Not surprisingly, the Biden IRS filed a motion to dismiss, but the Court denied its motion, essentially agreeing our case had merit and the IRS hadn’t produced any substantial reason why it should be thrown out.

Now, when forced under the accountability of court supervision, the IRS has reported that its search returned 43,000 records – not pages – individual records.

Here’s what we asked for:

  • All Be On the Lookout (BOLO) lists – this is what was used to target the Tea Party previously.
  • All legends or keys using the terms “Christian, Republican, Democrat, Conservative, Tea Party, intercessor, prayer, Word of God, and Liberal” – these are some of the terms in the outrageous legend used to first decline the tax-exempt status of a Christian group, Christians Engaged.
  • Any records about the “Bible” or “Biblical” – why is the IRS using these terms at all?
  • All documents related to the Christians Engaged denial.
  • And an Internal Revenue Manual mentioned in the Christians Engaged denial letter.

This returned 43,000 records – not pages, actual individual records. We also know these 43,000 records related to the above items were from a short 7-month window at the IRS.  43,000 records over the course of 7 months.

And now it’s complaining to the court that this is too many records to produce, telling the court it would take “years.”  Think about that. Our FOIA prompted so many returns about the targeting of Christians and conservatives that the IRS couldn’t even keep up with records to review.

So we know the Biden IRS has returned to its old ways, targeting its political enemies and their supporters. And now it wants its agents to essentially be armed and dangerous. That should concern you.

We will continue to pursue this unconstitutional behavior as far as it leads and hold those behind it accountable.

Today’s full Sekulow broadcast includes more discussion of this move by the IRS to again start recruiting armed special agents to bully and intimidate American taxpayers and what we’re doing to defend you.
