HomeIRS’ Doug Shulman: We No Longer Chase Bad Guys
Posted by Larry Doyle on May 28th, 2013 8:56 AM |
Have you ever read a passage or a line from a speech and thought, “He didn’t actually say that, did he?”
I had just that experience this morning in reading a delivery made by Douglas Shulman. Who is Mr. Shulman? The former commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service during the time when the targeting of selected conservative groups was launched. For those who care about truth, transparency, and integrity I can only hope that we learn all the details of that activity.
What about Shulman himself, though, and his past? Where did he work prior to joining the IRS?
Under the heading of “you just can’t make this stuff up,” Shulman was vice-chairman of Wall Street’s favorite self-regulatory organization FINRA prior to being appointed chairman of the IRS by President Bush in early 2008. Oh boy!! (more…)
