Yes, I realize that SS is part of Treasury.

But I'm talking about agents that work tax fraud enforcement stuff.

My former husband was an IRS agent. He carried a badge. But he had no law enforcement training. Others do.

FULL STOP.

He would blab everything he could if someone offered him "sanctuary" so, I'd hope our secret service would detain him and send him to gitmo.

Person : and maybe he needs to surrender his passport until the country finds out why he owes all that money . He could flee the country

Me : I wouldn’t stop him. Just last week we were discussing him not leaving the WH even if he lost the election. Remember he said maybe he is never checking out ?

Person : That’s true and if he flees he is gone, we are done with him immediately

Why stop him ? I hope they don’t
