WFB: Amid reports that the government sent stimulus checks to terrorists and death row inmates, a Republican congressman is demanding a full accounting of how much taxpayer money has gone to America’s most dangerous criminals.
Rep. Don Bacon (R., Neb.) this month wrote to IRS commissioner Charles Rettig on how stimulus checks, officially referred to as Economic Impact Payments (EIP), were sent to “incarcerated individuals.” One of the individuals who received a check is Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is serving several life sentences in federal prison. Bacon asked the IRS to disclose how many payments were made to inmates and specifically how many of those inmates were on death row.
The Nebraska Republican also wants information on how the money was transferred.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) warned in March 2021 that terrorists, including Tsarnaev, would receive the taxpayer-funded stimulus checks. Fact-checkers initially panned Cotton’s prediction, but they backtracked after reports confirmed that Tsarnaev did in fact receive a $1,400 stimulus check. more
IRS: One audit, for Rep. Bacon, coming up!!!
the government sent stimulus checks to terrorists, murderers and gov’t officials, but repeat myself…
So if they did, just who will be punished or fired??? Zero Zip, they’ll just move the players around.

Lerner and Koskinen fired the rank and file? All of them? And replaced them, all, with loyal (to the) Party members?
Lerner and Koskinen were promoted. As firsts among equals. That’s why the and the rest remain.
