    Why does the IRS need their own army?

    The IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) division is a federal law enforcement agency that conducts criminal investigations on things like tax violations, money laundering, cyber crimes, and organized crime involving drugs and gangs. There are more than 2,000 sworn special agents in the division. Agents that work under the Criminal Investigation division are required to carry weapons as part of their everyday duties.

    Sad situation.

    W/r/t IRS criminal division, would be better if the IRS had mental health professionals go in first when raiding the accountant.

    The Bible says that Jesus forgave a tax collector. But he probably never saw the IRS coming.

    Wait until you realize the Post Office also has an armed investigative “army.”

    If you just say "yes sir, no sir" to the IRS, you have nothing to worry about.

    Years ago, one of our apartment neighbors, who worked for the post office, was asked to become a postal inspector. He said he turned down the promotion because he would be required to carry a gun and he wasn’t comfortable doing that.

    I don't trust those in charge at the IRS to select the armed agents for their suitability for the role rather than their equity goals x 87,000.

    IRS is in a hiring free for all. And, the current regime hasn't been in charge for those 100 years. The liberals currently leading .gov positions are a gaggle of idiots.
