purchases were stolen. if a credit card is stolen, you notify the credit card company and shut it off. you shut it off immediately. the commissioner, this is his job to run the irs, i don t care if he s an acting one, every manager, supervisor, even the person who s down at the bottom of the tote empole, even if they bought one nerf ball and charged it to the agency should stop stealing. the videos, the conferences, the abuse of power, the targeting, the manipulation, the lying, i m telling you, this is a tipping point and it s a tipping point that s going to be significant. will you lean on the department of justice to actually open a criminal investigation and see whether anyone has defrauded the american people? yes, absolutely. that s where this goes when it all comes down to it, i think that s where it ends. i hope the attorney general aggressively investigates this. even online porn we have to pay
