Probably just reading too much into it.
The press will sweep this under the rug. If they have to speak of it they will do at in the middle of a broadcast and if anyone connects the dots they will call it spreading misinformation. Just move along and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.Just as they did with Trump's abuse of power?
‘I’m Going to Have to Refer You to the IRS’: White House Remains Quiet on Surprise Visit to Taibbi’s House | National Review
Was the IRS visit ‘part of a campaign to harass or intimidate him?’ a White House press corps journalist asked.www.nationalreview.com
From The Free Press:
The day journalist Matt Taibbi testified in Congress about his ongoing work with the Twitter Files, something strange happened back at his home: The IRS showed up. Yes, the exact day. And yes, they showed up in person at his door. What was the IRS doing there? They said they had “concerns over identity theft.” What a farce. There’s nothing nastier than the White House using the IRS as a political tool (Trump had them audit James Comey and Andrew McCabe during Russiagate). And now it seems the IRS is coming for anyone who personally annoys Biden’s staff. This week, that was Matt Taibbi.
As The Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote: “The bigger question is when did the IRS start to dispatch agents for surprise house calls? Typically when the IRS challenges some part of a tax return, it sends a dunning letter. Or it might seek more information from the taxpayer or tax preparer. If the IRS wants to audit a return, it schedules a meeting at the agent’s office. It doesn’t drop by unannounced.”
You might not have heard about the harassment of Taibbi until now. That’s because everyone who normally champions press freedom against government harassment actually loves when Biden does the harassing against a reporter who exercises the First Amendment a little too hard. Anyway: we stand with Taibbi. And to the IRS agents who will inevitably show up at our door, you’ve got the wrong Nellie! What’s TGIF and why are you chanting it? Bari? Like Barry White? Don’t know him.
In other press freedom news, a Wall Street Journal reporter, Evan Gershkovich, has been arrested this week in Russia on “espionage” charges. Our thoughts are with Evan. Bring him home.
How frustrating is it to have to talk to that agency on the phone, or any government agency? We have a lady at our church who deals with PA state government quite a bit and I told her that she was worth her weight in gold because she is far more patient than I am.
These people aren't like you and I, Mark. Whatever they can get away with is fine. And if they can let this story fade into nothing, that's perfectly fine with them.
Bullshit. They were after him before he ever became President.
Have they ever paid you or your accountant a visit instead of sending a letter of inquiry.
I didn't change shit, douchebag. I was mistaken on the details. I honestly didn't know. I'm sorry your incapable of being impartial and not a hack.
JFC do you and @zeke4ahs hang out to make up lies to post? The FBI probablly should be looking into you to be honest posting shit like this.
Crayfish I hope you hold no IU degree- you strike me as quite thick. Sorry you put full faith in a failed clown who cares not one iota about you
Another who cannot accept even fact. Did you not see Trump lately or see his tax returns? You are an ostrich with your head buried in the sand.
Try to be understanding. If he didn't have an outlet for his insanity, he might be out shooting up schools.
Put your horn back in its case and shut up. You are just a full on idiot. I'm sure Joe Biden prays for you every night!
Yes, Joe prays for every American because he cares. Unlike that heartless Donald Trump who doesn't care for you, despite the fact there was no inflation, interest rates were low, we weren't fueling a war machine, and minority employment was at an all-time high.
