4:05pm- The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board documented a disturbing allegation that an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) officer who called himself “Bill Haus” showed up to the home of a Marion, Ohio woman—claiming “she had not properly filled out estate forms and owed the IRS ‘a substantial amount’” of money. The Board writes, “[o]nly when the taxpayer presented proof of paying all taxes on the estate did the agent reveal that his visit wasn’t about the estate at all. It was about several supposed delinquent tax returns related to the decedent of the estate. The letter says the taxpayer called her attorney, who insisted Mr. Haus leave the house, only to be told by Mr. Haus: ‘I am an IRS agent, I can be at and go into anyone’s house at any time I want to be.’” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/irs-house-call-bill-haus-jim-jordan-letter-daniel-werfel-house-republicans-7858932d?mod=hp_opin_pos_1

And according to the secret Chinese communications intercepted by U.S. investigators that inform the Times report, this ‘covert project of dangerous experiments’ being conducted at the infamous lab was likely a direct predicate for the global outbreak of Covid-19.” Will anyone be held accountable?
