I don't think this is exactly the case. I think Goldberg was blackmailed with information obtained by PIs Tom Krywiki and Michael Shomers. Whatever it was, he knuckled under rather than throwing out David Miscavige and Marty Rathbun when they barged into his office in Oct. 1991.

Patricia Greenway posted about this event once.

"Another gentleman told us that a lady friend of his, used to work for the IRS as the secretary to Fred Goldberg. Yes, she was on staff and at her desk the day that DM blew past her to Mr. Goldberg's office. She was astounded that someone could enter that office without an appointment, as it had never been done before during her employment."

Goldberg named 4 guys in the IRS (named in the Tax Analysis suit) to deal with the situation and resigned as soon as he could 3 months later in January 1992. Shirley D. Peterson took over as IRS Commissioner for a little over a year. Margaret Milner Richardson had been in office about six months when the IRS signed the deal. However, I don't think she knew what was being signing or what lay behind it. (Possible though because Clinton had a scientology roommate at one time.)

When Shirley Peterson was president of Hood College (1995-2000) I tried hard to get a PI to talk to her about what she knew but I didn't get much. If she or Richardson really did know what they were doing it amounted to treason. (I think Gerald Feffer was Peterson's boss at the Justice Dept. If one wonders why that department has so many outright criminals in it, you need look no further than scientology's corrupting influence.)

I have talked to people who know Fred Goldberg. They say he goes into a psychotic rage anytime scientology or their "deal" with the IRS is mentioned in his presence.

Five years after the deal went down someone took an awful risk to get a copy of the "closing agreement" out of the IRS. To this day the IRS stonewalls the Federal courts about an official copy (what we have is a late, maybe final draft.)

There are enough people who are in the know of what went down at the IRS that one or more of them will eventually talk or leave a letter to be opened after their death.

I would love to talk to the PIs, Shirley Peterson, Margaret Richardson, Mr. Goldberg's secretary or best of all former IRS Commissioner Fred Goldberg.
