After Deep State Slammed with Shock Accusation – Jim Jordan Hits Them with Historic Probe

In recent years, the IRS has received a few black eyes. During the Obama administration, the agency was outed for targeting conservative groups. It seems the IRS was auditing and harassing political enemies of the president.

More recently, the agency mysteriously showed up outside the doors of the homes of independent journalists. These few journalists just happened to be reporting on how the Biden administration coerced social networks to censor conservatives.

Now, a report claims the IRS is using artificial intelligence to mass audit Americans. This could lead to the IRS harassing Americans, making it that much harder for individuals and small businesses to build wealth. Now, Republican firebrand Jim Jordan is demanding answers.

From Fox News:
House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is launching an investigation alongside Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., into whether the IRS is using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to improperly surveil American taxpayers across the country…

“However, recent reporting alleges that the IRS’s use of AI has also included actively monitoring American citizens’ bank accounts en masse and without legal process,” they wrote, citing a report by James O’Keefe’s O’Keefe Media Group.

Republican Jim Jordan and Rep. Harriet Hageman have launched an investigation against the IRS. They are demanding answers from Biden’s treasury secretary over a report that the agency is implementing AI.

The agency claims it is using the controversial technology to detect “tax cheating” and “emerging compliance threats.” But the Republicans have accused the IRS of using AI to illegally monitor American citizens’ “bank accounts en masse.”

If that’s true, it could be a violation of Americans’ constitutional rights. No branch of the government is allowed to monitor your activity, including bank transactions, without a warrant.

It is possible that the IRS is trying to get around these restrictions by using this new and unregulated technology. They might want to use an AI program to quickly scan bank accounts, without oversight from the courts.

If this is true, it could lead to devastating violations of Americans’ rights. Jordan’s investigation might be able to shut this down before it gets out of hand. And it could provide Congress with enough motivation to regulate AI, which poses to give the government far too much power.

Key Takeaways:

  • The IRS has been accused of using AI to illegally monitor Americans’ bank transactions.
  • Republican Jim Jordan has launched an investigation into the reports.
  • Some fear that AI will be used by the government to massively expand its power over Americans.
