This is why the deep state exists. We should be encouraging like minded people to apply for those new positions.

'We see what's out there in terms of social media. Our workforce is concerned about their safety,' Rettig told The Washington Post Tuesday. 'The comments being made are extremely disrespectful to the agency, to the employees and to the country.'

Rettig, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, had sent out a letter to employees, which was obtained by The Post, informing them that the IRS would be undertaking a risk assessment for each of the IRS's 600 faciliies - the first of its kind since the Oklahoma City federal building bombing in 1995.

'For me this is personal,' Rettig said. 'I'll continue to make every effort to dispel any lingering misperceptions about our work. And I will continue to advocate for your safety in every venue where I have an audience. You go above and beyond every single day, and I am honored to work with each of you.'

They’re seeding the public and the news cycles with “terrorism” keywords. A lot of “terroristic threat” statutes contain language like, “…or would make a person feel threatened, harassed, intimidated or in fear.” They’ll push the narrative about the “threatening language” and then pretty soon you’ll see all criticism from meaningful politicians stop, because nobody wants to be accused of “fomenting terrorism” in an election year. Plus, it warms people up to the idea of imprisoning people for saying words about the government that the government doesn’t like.

It’s no coincidence that they’ve been pushing the “domestic right-wing extremism” for months and suddenly the IRS is reviewing security in a way not done since “the Oklahoma City federal bombing.” Because the attacks, sieges, and arsons at federal buildings in Oregon in 2020 apparently didn’t raise any concerns.

...and is conducting a security review in response to Republican criticism over the $80billion in funds being used to recruit more agents


The Internal Revenue Service is launching a full security review of its facilities nationwide, Commissioner Charles Rettig announced Tuesday.

It comes after Congressional Republicans and right-wing voices online drummed up fears over the decade-long $80 billion cash infusion the agency was allotted as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, which President Joe Biden signed into law last week.

'We see what's out there in terms of social media. Our workforce is concerned about their safety,' Rettig told The Washington Post Tuesday. 'The comments being made are extremely disrespectful to the agency, to the employees and to the country.'

Republicans and their right-wing allies have turned IRS employees into political punching bags in the run-up and the aftermath of the $370 billion bill's passage.

'Abolish the IRS,' Republican Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted Sunday.

Earlier in the month, Cruz claimed that 'Schumer-Manchin would fund 87,000 IRS agents.'

'Just imagine THOUSANDS of IRS agents descending upon America like a swarm of locusts!' he tweeted.

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley asked on Fox: 'Are they going to have a strike force that goes in with AK-15s already loaded ready to shoot some small business person in Iowa?'

Yup, good. All people in public positions of power should be scared of the people exercising their ultimate remedy against oppressive government and its agents. It should drive them to be reasonable, fair public servants.

Anybody with a lick of sense would call that a clue. When everybody in America hates you, you might be on the wrong side of things.  Of course anybody with a lick of self respect wouldn't work for that agency, the fbi or any of the other scumbag groups.  I certainly don't advocate for violence against anyone, but I don't blame everyday Americans shunning them and their families.
