Anyone with any level of clearance knows how debt plays into your ability to recieve and maintain your clearance. And there’s a reason for it. If you owe money, you’re more likely to accept bribes or money from unscrupulous sources.
This is basically hegseth saying he’s for sale.

It’s extra fun because it’s not as if the IRS just arbitrarily hands out notices that you owe them large sums of money like this. They’re doing it because he deliberately underpaid his taxes. He’s only mad because he was caught.
It’s a bit like being angry at the cops that catch you drink driving and trying to get them fired.

That is not an audit notice for those who don’t know. That is a balance due notice.

I’d hate it too if I rode the coattails of a campaign based on alleged government inefficiency to a major political appiointment and was one of the supposed few whose tax indiscretions were still deemed important enough for the supposedly inefficient government department to bother chasing up I guess

The year right after my divorce I made a mistake and didn’t report something. I got a letter like that. Instead of pouting and pretending that I was a victim, I handled it like an adult and paid the damn money.

Doesn’t this make him a security risk? If it was me, John Doe Citizen, wouldn’t I be at risk of having my clearance revoked?

Probably tried to get away with not paying what he owed and is now mad. What he is complaining about is something that brings the intelligent middle class joy, someome rich being made to pay their fair share.
Never back down from *them*, this is why they are dismantling our government, they already take more than their fair share and they want even more. They will take away the things that enable you to have a life just so they can get a little more wealthy (or a lot more wealthy)

And as usual, blames Biden for something that, in almost absolute certainty, is just a function of a properly functioning IRS. And with zero evidence it has anything to do with Biden.

I didn’t see what year he’s being audited on. I did see that while the army chopper hit a civilian airline he was making a repair list for his government issued house. He wants $175,000 in upgrades. Where’s DOGE in this.

If there’s anything I know, it’s that the government operates at lightning speed for everything. I’m sure you can push through an audit in a few days. Anyone here ever been audited? It’s just a quick 10 minutes process! /s
Lol Pete Hegseth too broke to pay his taxes 😅
