Yeah, that’s a pretty good punch line and hopefully you weren’t drinking something and looking at your computer when you read that.
Now, something is happening that is very ironic.
A lawyer in the IRS ethics office is probably going to be disbarred because of unethical activities!
In fairness to the Regime, not that it really deserves any fairness, Takisha McGee, the lawyer in question, was hired before Obama went into office and the actions she is being disbarred over do not involve government work.
But she is a pretty good example of the kind of people working for the government.
From the Washington Times:
A lawyer in the IRS ethics office is facing the possibility of being disbarred, according to records that accuse her of lying to a court-appointed board and hiding what she’d done with money from a settlement that was supposed to go to two medical providers who had treated her client.
The disciplinary arm of the D.C. Court of Appeals has recommended that Takisha McGee, a section manager in the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility, lose her law license over the charge, which stems from a personal injury case she worked about a year before she joined the tax agency.
Ms. McGee, who recently gave a speech to the Florida bar titled “When your license to practice before the IRS is on the line,” acknowledged in a phone interview Tuesday that her own job is on the line as she fights disbarment proceedings.
“Does it keep me up worrying? Yes,” she said. “As it relates to my job, may I possibly lose it? Yes, I face that fact each and every day.”
The case could pose a credibility issue for the IRS, whose professional conduct office is the watchdog charged with ensuring all tax professionals “adhere to professional standards and follow the law.”
Despite that duty, the office has dispatched Ms. McGee to lecture professionals about the importance of maintaining high ethical standards.
If you read the report from the District of Columbia Board of Professional Responsibility, this story gets worse. Not only did she misappropriate funds that should have gone to third parties, she lied about what she did.
Bar Counsel for the DC Bar alleged McGee lied three times during the course of the investigation, including at least two times under oath. The Board found she lied under oath and with the other allegations of lying, the Board did not absolve her, but only said the Bar had not met its burden of proof.
This kind of corruption is ironic in the Obama Regime.
A lawyer in the IRS Ethics office being disbarred.
Of course, if there were no IRS, there would be no need for an IRS Ethics Office.
You can read the complete report from the DC bar.
