I wonder what percentage of the rehires were of the persuasion of affirmative action? I am willing to bet its three times the number of the percentage of the population that is represented.

If this is swamp draining, I think people deserve a refund.

I still don't get why Trump hasn't gotten rid of Obama’s IRS commissioner who organized the IRS terrorism against conservatives and repeatedly lied to Congress and destroyed evidence and trashed computer hard drives. And oh why don't we have a special council investigating Lois Lenner and the IRS?

See.

I told you guys that Trump was not interested in seeing justice being served.

He lied to me, and got my vote. Now I am sorry.

I think the article says thy were rehired during the Obama admin.

"The IRS rehired 2,000 former employees from 2015 through early 2016, the inspector general’s report says. Many were seasonal employees, and about 10 percent were problematic."

Forget the swamp-thing. It is a nasty CESSPOOL that needs to be drained and filled in.

It is almost certainly because he is still under audit and wants to avoid the appearance of abuse of power. Maybe if more negative stories like this get out, it will give him cover to do the right thing.

It’s almost impossible to fire a Federal employee unless you Seth Rich them.

“Waiting for his audit to be completed?”..........

That tells it all, nothing more to say except perhaps the other shoe will drop once Trumps audit is complete.

There definitely needs to be a complete house cleaning (swamp draining) particularly within the IRS. I have dealt with a few affirmative action employees at the IRS on a few occasions and can tell you, IF I owned a “McDonald’s”, those people wouldn’t qualify for a job.

Getting rid of the income tax would be the most monumentally great thing to happen to the United States since its founding. A simple retail sales tax could quickly and easily be implemented. Some very scaled-down version of the IRS would be needed to oversee the sales tax collection. Unfortunately, too many swamp critters depend on the current repressive, complicated system and, therefore, nothing significant will ever change.

At the end of the day it is basically IMPOSSIBLE to fire a Federal Employee. They have endless avenues of appeal, and will eventually win reinstatement if they hold out long enough.

Congress needs to fix this.

As a political appointee in the executive branch, Koskinen doesn’t have the civil service protections that career government employees do.

"I don’t know why President Trump hasn’t fired John Koskinen..."

Because he's got the goods on half of the senior officials in DC: "If I go down, you f**ks are goin' wit' me!"
