Oh no!
If the media thought that they’d get an agonized public response over the suffering of federal workers, boy are they gonna be disappointed this time.
The acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service is planning to resign following the agency’s data sharing agreement with the Department of Homeland Security to support the Trump administration’s efforts to deport undocumented immigrants, three sources familiar with her plans told ABC News.
Melanie Krause is the third leader of the agency to resign this year; Senate-confirmed Commissioner Danny Werfel resigned from his role on Inauguration Day, less than two years into his five-year term.
One month later, acting commissioner Doug O’Donnell, who spent nearly four decades at the IRS, retired amid concerns about the Trump administration’s management of the agency.
That’s terrible. We should be up to at least 4 by now.
What the media won’t tell you, but I will, is that Danny Werfel was the guy Obama brought in after the exposure of his use of the IRS to target conservatives.
Krause, like the others, was promoted from within. Her career is somewhat baffling.
She has degrees in nursing, worked as a nurse up to 2009 when she pivoted to somehow becoming a senior auditor at the GOA health care team. After that she went to work in senior positions at the Department of Veterans Affairs and 10 years later was the Assistant Inspector General for Management and Administration. In 2021 she became the Chief Data Officer for the IRS and then COO.
So who’s gonna be number 5?
