Those are not tears of sorrow, they are tears of anger!
This will bring down some very powerful people. This IRS intimidation violated several federal statutes.
When lower level folks are threatened with a 6x9 cell...trust me, they will be angered that they were thrown under the bus.
The lower level folks won’t get the benefit of a million dollar lawyer and a cushy job at some liberal organization.
They will be promised a little something for their troubles on the backside of their sentences (at taxpayer expense of course), which they will graciously accept, 'cause it would be a shame if something happened to their family members while they were doing time...
Unless they are chossing between a jail cell, and the death of several family members.
