Witness intimidation? IRS descends on journalist Matt Taibbi after he testified on FBI-backed Twitter censorship

It's as if various US government agencies have never heard of the expression, "when in a hole, stop digging:" not only are some of the most powerful ones, like the FBI, accused of involvement in online censorship, but now the IRS is suspected of trying to intimidate a journalist presenting those revelations.

"A very strange house call" is how the Wall Street Journal described the fact an agent of the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) went to the home of Matt Taibi, a journalist who has been going through internal Twitter documents to produce the scandalous Twitter Files, which show how the private social media company and the government cooperated (aka, colluded) to carry out censorship.

By doing this work, Taibi - who has since testified about all this before Congress - made himself the target of Democrats and journalists in their camp, and now, apparently, also of the IRS.
