I didn't expect to ever hear from the U. S. Treasury and the I. R. S. on the Freedom of Information Act request I sent in so many months ago so I suppose I should be happy I got something. Something came in this morning. And yes, it's more of the same ole softshoe. It seems that maybe the IRS doesn't want to release information about their own massive criminal frauds for some reason - at least that seems to me to be why they mysteriously can't find this document when I gave them the damn document number. -=- Begin letter -=- Department of the Treasury Internal Revenu Service Washington, D.C. 20224 Fredric L.
