A second high ranking official at the IRS resigns."Joseph Grant, commissioner of the agency's tax-exempt and government entities division, will retire on June 3, according to an IRS statement. Grant joined the IRS in August 2005 and became the deputy commissioner of the tax exempt division in 2007. He became the second senior IRS official in as many days to offer his resignation.
Grant had only be elevated to the position of commissioner of the division last week -- two days before the agency confirmed the targeting of Tea Party groups and conservative organizations applying for tax-exempt status."

RGBII So do you still get a government pension if you resign vs. retire? I am not familiar and I am just curious why this guy is retiring on June 3 vs. and immediate resignation.

I stated earlier that the phone taps were completely
legal due to the Patriot Act. I loathe the Act and the
violations of the Constitution that it enables. They (the
DOJ) wanted to get the leaker by tapping the phones
(20 lines) of the reporter responsible for putting a Yemeni
agent in peril. They were fishing for his source.

RGBII As for the Patriot Act, I have to stand by it, until someone can devise a better way of safeguarding our country from another 911. It doesn't guarantee it will not happen again, but nothing really does. Until we all learn to live in peace and unfortunately with all that goes on in this world we probably never will, until that last atomic bomb goes off or whatever that weapon of mass destruction is that destroys us all.
