This is outrageous, especially when you consider the fact that no one has been prosecuted for the IRS targeting scandal. Innocent American taxpayers were harassed by the IRS in the run-up to the 2012 election for political reasons and no one was held accountable.
Now we learn this.
FOX News reports:
IRS rehired employee that falsified documents, had unauthorized access to taxpayer information
The Internal Revenue Service rehired employees who were previously involved in agency misconduct such as falsifying documents or having unauthorized access to sensitive taxpayer information, according to an audit from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
Considering that identify theft is a major concern, auditors wanted to inspect the agency to ensure the individuals they hire are of high integrity in safeguarding sensitive taxpayer information.
The auditors found there were 200 employees who were rehired between January 2015 and March 2016 that were terminated or separated from the agency that were either under investigation or had some misconduct that caused them to leave.
These employees had conduct issues such as falsifying employment forms or documents, unauthorized use of taxpayer accounts, misuse of email or property, absence and leave issues, workplace disruption, failure to follow instructions, and violations of the Internal Revenue Code, to name a few.
Trump should appoint someone to do a thorough overhaul of the agency and weed out the bad employees.
