The chickens are finally coming home to roost for Obama’s corrupt administration.
Trump promised to drain the swamp and deliver justice for conservative Americans.
And Barack Obama got some bad news when Trump finally got justice over this scandal.
Obama’s IRS enforcer gets the boot after years of targeting patriots
Holly Paz thought she was untouchable.
The longtime IRS bureaucrat spent years helping Obama’s attack dog Lois Lerner weaponize the tax agency against Tea Party groups and conservative organizations.
But Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just showed her the door – and the termination came with a message that has the entire federal bureaucracy on edge.¹
Paz got fired Monday after being placed on administrative leave last month following an internal review, according to Fox News sources.
She served as IRS Commissioner of Large Business and International Division, but that fancy title couldn’t protect her from Trump’s housecleaning operation.
The woman who helped orchestrate one of the most disgraceful government scandals in recent memory finally faced consequences for her actions.
Paz wasn’t just some random bureaucrat caught up in the Obama-era IRS targeting scandal.
She was Lois Lerner’s right-hand woman – the deputy who helped review and oversee the handling of tax-exempt applications that systematically targeted groups with names containing "Tea Party," "9/12," and "Constitution."
For more than two years, these Obama loyalists turned the IRS into a political weapon designed to crush conservative grassroots organizations.
The scandal that rocked Obama’s presidency comes back to haunt his allies
The IRS targeting scandal broke wide open in 2013 when the Treasury Department’s inspector general confirmed that "inappropriate criteria" were used to single out conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.
This wasn’t some bureaucratic mixup or clerical error.
The Obama administration’s IRS deliberately scrutinized applications from patriotic Americans who dared to organize around constitutional principles and limited government.
Paz served as the crucial link between the Cincinnati IRS office where the dirty work happened and IRS headquarters in Washington, D.C.
She knew exactly what was going on, and she helped make it happen.
The scandal forced Lerner to retire from the IRS, but Paz managed to slither through the cracks and keep her taxpayer-funded job for over a decade.
That free ride just came to a screeching halt.
Trump’s 2017 settlement with Tea Party groups included an official IRS apology admitting the agency’s treatment of conservative applicants "was wrong."²
The government acknowledged that screening applications based on political viewpoints, subjecting them to "heightened scrutiny and inordinate delays," and demanding unnecessary information violated basic constitutional principles.
Scott Bessent sends a clear message to the deep state
Look, here’s what’s really happening – Bessent isn’t just cleaning up one corrupt bureaucrat.
He’s sending a message to every Obama and Biden holdover still lurking in the federal workforce that their days of weaponizing government agencies are over.
Sources tell Fox News that Bessent has been working closely with IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler – the same agents who exposed Hunter Biden’s sweetheart deal with the Justice Department.
These are the good guys who put their careers on the line to tell the truth about government corruption.
Now they’re helping Bessent identify which bureaucrats can be trusted and which ones need to get shown the door.
The Treasury Secretary is methodically "de-weaponizing" the IRS by rooting out the political operatives who turned tax enforcement into partisan warfare.
Paz’s firing represents the latest step in this crucial mission to restore the IRS to its proper role as a tax collection agency – not a tool for silencing political opposition.
Here’s the part that should make every freedom-loving American smile: Bessent and IRS leadership are working to actually improve customer service for taxpayers instead of harassing them.
They’re streamlining operations, cutting back on the Biden administration’s bloated hiring spree, and focusing on serving the American people rather than serving the Democrat Party’s political agenda.
The deep state’s worst nightmare is becoming reality
You want to know what this really means?
For years, conservative Americans have watched in horror as supposedly neutral government agencies became weapons against anyone who dared challenge the establishment’s agenda.
The IRS targeting scandal was just the beginning – we’ve seen the FBI raid President Trump’s home, the Justice Department prosecute January 6th protesters while letting Antifa rioters walk free, and intelligence agencies interfere in elections.
But Trump’s second term is different because he learned from the first one.
Instead of trusting the swamp to drain itself, he’s appointing people like Scott Bessent who understand that personnel is policy.
Every corrupt bureaucrat who gets fired makes room for someone who actually believes in serving the American people rather than advancing a partisan agenda.
Paz spent over a decade thinking she was bulletproof because she had the protection of the Obama-Biden deep state network.
She helped target patriotic Americans for their political beliefs and faced zero consequences – until now.
The message to other government employees couldn’t be clearer: if you weaponized your position against conservatives, your time is up.
If you leaked classified information to damage Trump, your time is up.
If you slow-walked investigations into Democrat corruption while fast-tracking cases against Republicans, your time is up.
The deep state’s reign of terror is ending, one firing at a time.
And Holly Paz’s termination proves that no Obama loyalist is too connected or too embedded to escape accountability when patriots are finally back in charge.
