Ah yes, the “subcommittee on weaponizing government”, a credible, neutral group.

I do believe this was an issue (in fact suborned by FBI practices) in the 1960s against civil rights targets, but I haven’t seen any credible accusations since the Nixon era.

I can forgive you for not reading the article on the MSN spam site. Here's the original: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/irs-committed-alarming-c...

It's literally an investigation into the government weopanizing the IRS.

The IRS published documents you can view yourself to see their misdeeds. The IRS has since apologized and updated policy to curtail (but not eliminate) the authoritarian behavior.

You don't give yourself credibility by making up names.

"Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government", according to the article at your link, is literally the source. I made no name up.
