The thing about the IRS is that they exist mostly outside of the consideration of political pandering. They just need to enforce tax code, not care about what people think. Kind of like a computer program. They don't write the rules they just enforce whatever is on the books. They aren't really elected or responsible for the perception of their acts. They are already generally unpopular publicly so I don't see them being overly concerned about political shitstorms.

Except a few years ago when they started going after fraud by conservative groups and Congress went after them for that. No government agency is as independent as they want you to believe. All it takes is one Congress member to decide to make a big deal about something and the program gets shutdown.

If they start going after the Churches how are the senators from the Bible belt going to react? What do you think Biden is going to do? Take a hard stance against churches, does that sound like Joe "Bible the size of a small dog" Biden?
