The whistleblower who raised concerns about the handling of the case is claiming the move was "clearly retaliatory." Question; who is seeking revenge against who?

Not sure who is the village idiot... guessing it is a matter of perspective. From my perspective, it is the person who reads the headlines and jumps to conclusions which would make you the village idiot. And before you get your knickers in a knot, you call several others of us village idiots first. This makes turnabout fair game.

Actually you are if you don’t think this isn’t any more than another cover up. They’re not even trying to hide it anymore

Hate to say, but Democrats/Communists party and anyone that buys into them are the true enemies of this country, this includes those on here. Yes, you, Lurker, Strawman (we already knew about those two) Agnostic, etc. I’m leaving Abe out of this because he has some common sense

[LurkerNoMore]

Cover up.  Hahahahahah

Always an excuse. Never any evidence. 

Living in LALA Land must be fun.

Side Side Note: Self-awareness is a valuable quality to have. You are calling us village idiots in a thread you started that was a nothing burger wrapped in Republican toilet paper. You get owned in most of the 100's of threads you start with a link and no comment, mainly because you don't bother to read past the headline. But ok... I'm an idiot

Ouch! being called an enemy of this country by a guy who never served hurts... Here's the reality.  Any American who calls another American an enemy of the country based on political views is what is wrong with this country. I think you struggle with deciphering facts. I think you are prone to being mislead. I suspect you have been involved in MLM / pyramid schemes at some point in your life, you're just too gullible not to have been. Your latest scam you fell for just happens to be the conspiracies surrounding Trump. And that's a shame. Without that angry brainwashed mentality, you'd probably be a decent human

Qoach starts a thread

Takes an arrow in the knee right away

Abandons thread and ignores any mention of it

Rinse and repeat.

I can't help but like the guy. Even though I sent my credentials to a moderator who confirmed I am what I say I am.. Coach doubts it but also doubts the election results. If coach has a super power it is being immune to facts. But I'm a pretty good judge of character and I'll be honest.. Coach is a stand up guy. He's fallen into a cult, but so have many others. I'm not going to base my entire opinion on him based on his gullibility when it comes to politics.

LOL brainwashed...Says the guy that hoped for and encouraged death on people that refused to take the governments poison.
Come on man.

Any American who wishes people who didn't wear masks would die is what is wrong with this country.  Know anyone like that?

I wouldn't say much either considering the issues you support.

According to a report by Breitbart, the Internal Revenue Service has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars buying ammunition, raising concern about why a government agency is buying ammunition that the administration plans to restrict further in the coming months.

On Saturday, Congressman Matt Gaetz told Breitbart that the IRS spent approximately $700,000 “between March and June 1” purchasing ammunition.

Gaetz called the IRS’s acquisition of the ammunition “bizarre.” He said, “There is concern that this is part of a broader effort to have any entity in the federal government buy up ammo to reduce the amount of ammunition that is in supply, while at the same time, making it harder to produce ammo.”

The Congressman went on to propose a potential scenario where federal agencies are buying up ammunition and putting citizens in a situation where they cannot exercise their Second Amendment rights due to the inability to get ammunition.

He expressed concern that the government intended to reduce ammunition production “and, on the other hand, [soaks] up the supply of it.” It is something he feels is a direct violation of the rights of Americans.

usaspending.gov, the IRS’s ammunition purchases ranged from $3,201 worth of ammo at one time to $92,000+ worth of ammo at one time. The purchases were spread out over several months, according to the documents, which are publicly available.

According to a report from OpenTheBooks published in 2020, the IRS had stockpiled 4,600 guns and five million rounds of ammunition as of January 2019.


According to the Government Accountability Office the ammunition breakdown at the time included:

3,151,500 Pistol and revolver rounds
1,472,050 Rifle rounds
367,750 Shotgun rounds
56,000 Fully automatic firearm rounds
More interesting is that the IRS does not follow any regulations concerning the issuance, use, and accountability of the agency’s staff carrying such weapons. This starkly contradicts the recent push of gun control laws nationwide, including more heavily regulated training and liability.

According to reports from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), the IRS has repeatedly failed to ensure that procedures relating to firearms are properly followed.

“There is no national-level review of firearms training records to ensure that all special agents meet the qualification requirements,” according to the report.

Furthermore, the report states that the IRS’s failure to conduct proper internal oversight of its weapons could have serious consequences for the public.

As noted by the Inspector General at the time, “If there is insufficient oversight, special agents in possession of firearms who are not properly trained and qualified could endanger other special agents and the public.”

A TIGTA report found that special agents at the IRS Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CI) accidentally fired their weapons more often than they intentionally fired them

Additionally, the IRS has come under scrutiny in the past for the harsh tactics it used to enforce the tax code, including incidents involving armed agents. With the agency requesting tens of billions in new funding, it is not hard to see how these abuses could return.

A 1998 article by Washington Post noted many small business owners were harassed by the IRS, only for the agency to find no evidence of wrongdoing.

The only people that are buying up ammo is all of these gun nuts.   The key word you left out Coach was "Criminal Division" of the IRS.  Of course they are going to need to buy ammo.  What...do you think they are going to shoot people who don't pay taxes???   That's what this article is clearly implying

You assessment of Coach mirrors mine. Good call!

In the real world beyond Getbig, moderates predominate regardless of their political party affiliation. No doubt there are some moderates who are members of Getbig and who wisely choose to fly under the radar.

Wait.  Aren't you the knucklehead who accused me and chaos of being the same gimmick?  Or was that someone else?

Isn’t it funny when that happens?  I’m like, 7 people at this point. 

[Agnostic007]

probably someone else.. I don't pay much attention to who's gimmick is who's. I think gimmicks are juvenile

[chaos]

I'm not sure but he's definitely the same guy that wished death on anyone that didn't get the clot shot.

[AbrahamG]

I'm not sure but he's definitely the same guy that wished death on anyone that didn't get the clot shot.

Did he actually wish death upon someone or was it merely a case of saying something to the effect of not feeling sorry for someone unvaxxed who croaks?

I believe he said he hoped people died that didn't get the governments poison.

Owned? I’ve asked hundreds of times to set up live debates. The fact is, I’ve owned all of you in 98% of them. You post yours, I post mine,  you seem to think for whatever reason your sources are somehow more credible than mine yet you (and I’m referring to all of you) don’t bother to read it, listen to it or watch it and because I’ve got sick responding to you dolts, you want to call it “owned”.

You (all of you) don’t want to believe there’s a two tiered justice system. One for Republicans, One for Democrats and therein where the intellectual dishonesty lies. I don’t set notifications when I post on here but hey, you want to set up a debate, IM me, I get and email when I get DM’s.

As for you? You seem to think because you served that’s the only way someone can serve their country. You support Biden, you support the lefts policies which at this point is socialism/Marxism, that being said, you’re betraying your country. Plain and simple. The E Jean Carroll bullshit. You claimed to be Detective, were you a dirty cop? Did you investigate one side or both sides? I have to ask because his fake indictment was based all on hearsay. But you won’t acknowledge that and to prove you might have been a dirty cop (if you even were) you’re happy for an innocent person going to jail knowing he didn’t even do it.

You don’t think a former Republican President that blew up the status quo in Washington for decades isn’t being targeted by people that absolutely hate him, Soros DA’s in districts that are literally 95% Democrat ran (Manhattan and DC) where there is absolutely NO chance for a fair trial…..but YOU believe everything is on the up and up even though literally damn near every prominent Democrat in Congress including Biden, Obama, Clinton and Biden’s crackhead son gets away with it.

But you don’t think there’s no cover up that all of the sudden the DOJ team that was investigating Biden’s crackhead kid was just told to stop investigating. Let me ask you, Clouseau, what’s the sentence for lying on a firearms application then the person who owned the firearm ditching in a dumpster? Jail? A Fine? Both?

[Coach is Back!]

On the note of your service. You might have served your country but then again so did Vindman, Mattis, McCain, Milley and Austin, with distinction tainted their military reputations by being apart of trying to overthrow a duly elected president. Shit, McCain was one of the main players in the fake Dossier.
