As Washington Democrats are about to hire 87,000 new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees, those who allegedly leaked the returns of multiple billionaires a year ago are still roaming free the halls of the tax agency. The $80 billion in additional IRS funding for “enforcement” passed the House on Aug. 12 and is on the fast track to be signed into law by President Joe Biden.

Since June 2021, the private and legally-protected information from the tax returns for Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg, Warren Buffett, Peter Thiel, and others has been published continually by the liberal group ProPublica. Biden administration officials have testified to Congress that they are investigating the leaks, but it still hasn’t been solved.
