IRS Unannounced Visit to Home of Twitter Files Reporter — Jim Jordan Demands Explanation
Our mantra is no longer, Make America great again, it’s Make America America again. This is straight up totalitarianism, The Democrats have weaponized every government agency against the American people who stand for our Constitutional rights.
For those asking, I don’t want to comment on the IRS issue pending an answer to chairman @Jim_Jordan’s letter. I’m not worried for myself, but I did feel the Committee should be aware of the situation.

Jim Jordan Demands IRS Explain Unannounced Visit to Matt Taibbi’s Home
Representative Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Daniel Werfel demanding an explanation of why the federal agency deployed federal agents to visit “Twitter Files” journalist Matt Taibbi.
Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, sent the notice on Monday requesting more information into the timing and circumstances of the raid on Taibbi’s house in New Jersey on March 9.
Federal agents were dispatched to Taibbi’s residence the very same day that the investigative journalist appeared before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, also chaired by Representative Jordan.
According to the letter, first obtained by the Wall Street Journal, Taibbi notified Jordan that the IRS instructed him to phone the federal agency four days later, and he was later told that both his 2018 and 2021 tax filings were requested because of “concerns over identity theft.”
Taibbi shared his 2018 tax submission with the Select Committee, which showed that his filing was “electronically accepted” and that no problem was registered with the return for “more than four-and-a-half years,” the Journal editorial notes.
While Taibbi’s initial 2021 return was rejected twice despite his accountant using an “IRS-provided pin number.” Taibbi added that the issue at stake is not “monetary” and that the federal agency actually owes him a “considerable” amount of money.
During Taibbi’s visit to Capitol Hill, Representative Stacey Plaskett (D., Virgin Islands) denounced the former Rolling Stones journalist as a threat.
“Mr. Chairman, I am not exaggerating when I say that you have called before you two witnesses who pose a direct threat to people who oppose them.” When Jordan laughed at this comment, Plaskett replied, “It’s funny when people have to go through that? This is unacceptable.”
Plaskett derided Taibbi as a “so-called journalist” and repeatedly insisted that there was no “real evidence” publicized in the Twitter Files showing coordination between the federal government and the social-media platform.
“Ranking Member Plaskett, I’m not a so-called journalist,” Taibbi countered. “I’ve won the National Magazine Award, the I.F. Stone Award for Independent Journalism, and I’ve written ten books, including four New York Times best sellers.”
Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fl.) engaged in a similar line of hostile
“Being a Republican witness today certainly casts a cloud over your objectivity.”
