SIXTH TAX SCANDAL PLEA LIKELY

The Post says that Robert Steven, a former division director of the IRS's New Carrollton office, appears set to plead guilty in federal court today for his involvement in the D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue scandal. Steven and his estranged wife are both longtime friends of Harriette Walters and have both been charged; Steven's charges are listed as possession of stolen property and conspiring to commit money laundering. Missing from the story: did Steven's IRS expertise help to make the scam possible? We're looking forward to finding out if and when a plea agreement is announced.

Oh Montague, do bring out another couple of sets of stocks, it appears we have new customers!

The angry crowd will need a pile of additional rotten, salmonella-infected tomatoes too, ring up the FDA and see if they haven't sent them all to the Meals on Wheels yet.

 

..conspiring to commit money laundering

Now thats just a made up charge right there. Do they give a Nobel prize for conspiring to commit chemistry? Do they?
