During Barack Obama's tenure in the White House, the Internal Revenue Service was told to target and attack conservatives, Christians and critics of his leftist administration.
Remember those "Tea Party" organizations whose members were grilled about their lives, families, politics, speech, even their prayers, during his re-election campaign when they were denied authorization by the IRS, mostly likely because they would have expressed opposition to Obama.
Eventually, officials admitted their schemes, but they largely went unpunished, some retiring with lucrative government pensions.
Now President Donald Trump is working on a "massive revamp" of the agency, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
His targets, the report claimed, will be "wealthy Democratic donors whom the White House believes could be funding nefarious political activities."
A list of possible candidates for investigations, the report said, now includes Democrat funder George Soros. Other names are expected to be added.
Interim IRS commissioner Scott Bessent already has appointed an adviser, Gary Shapley, to work on possible investigations.
And the work has support in Congress, where Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has proposed a plan to go after those who have funded the recent anti-Trump "No Kings" protests and riots under a federal law targeting organized crime.
The senator told Fox, "Follow the money. Cut off the money. You look at this No Kings rally – there's considerable evidence that George Soros and his network is behind funding these rallies which may well turn into riots."
The Open Society Foundation created by Soros, now run by his son, is the world's largest funder of leftism and leftist radicalism, the report said.
For example, the Fund for Policy Reform, now run by Alex Soros, handed out $60 million to Democrats in 2024, the report said.
Trump also has offered criticism of liberal billionaires like Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg, over the damage done by leftists across America.
The OSF has denied any wrongdoing and denounced violence.
The changeovers at the agency already have been in the making. There were some 100,000 IRS workers at the end of 2024, but the president's Department of Government Efficiency cut that to about 75,000.
Many of those are not at work right now because of the Schumer shutdown, where Democrats in the Senate refused to agreed to a resolution that would have kept the government funded for a few weeks.
