"Retire"?

My, such a harsh response.

[Black Agnes]

‘Retire’. As in with pension and benefits?

Ya. Sounds like ‘Take a lifetime vacation at our expense, true and faithful servant’.

[molson209]

well can’t fire them they may lose all their benefits

[Izzy Dunne]

But...but...but... it was only a couple of “rogue” employees in the break room at the Cincinnati office... Why should the bigwigs retire/resign?

[MustKnowHistory]

Yep. And next year they will get a better paying job somewhere in the government.

Just heard it on the local Orlando news too ... the story has gone viral.

From Fox: An internal IRS memo says Joseph Grant, commissioner of the agency's tax exempt and government entities division, will retire June 3.

[zeaal]

RETIRE!? And draw a retirement check!?

[colorado tanker]

I wonder if this is the guy who told the flunkies to do it?

[P-Marlowe]

The IRS does not tolerate anyone even fudging on the law, much less thumbing their nose at it. If some taxpayer were to obfuscate during an audit the way these clowns are doing the "its not political" song and dance, they would turn the taxpayer over to the Justice Department for a Criminal Indictment and in the interim they would seize every single piece of property or asset they could get their hands on.

And yet somehow the taxpayers are expected to give the IRS the benefit of the doubt?

I want these B@$+@rds prosecuted, I want their property seized to pay their fines, I want their pensions revoked. After they get out of prison, I want to send them to the same poorhouse that they so frequently send American Taxpayers who make the slightest error on their overly complicated tax forms.

Show no mercy. The IRS does not show mercy to any taxpayer, so we should not be merciful to them. If this were a true "ship of state" we would be hanging these creeps by the yard arms.

The only way to ensure this never happens again is if everyone involved gets a serious prison sentence, at least as serious as the IRS gives to people convicted of tax evasion (like Al Capone). Let's reopen Alcatraz and send them all there.

[Secret Agent Man]

Since when does someone quitting a job, insulate them from punishment, much less testifying?

Quitting is a separate act from being questioned and being punished.

Like Rats from a sinking ship - wait a minute - they are Rats!

[TribalPrincess2U]

Does this keep them safe from any prosecution?

Does this mean they get a bigger retirement than they thought?

[Noamie]

If “Retire” is an IRS term for having a “chainsaw enema” then it almost sounds ok... Yes, in that case then let’s “retire” him.
