Whistleblower Gary Shapley Should Be Appointed Acting Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service
I suggest that President Trump appoint Shapley (or Ziegler) as Acting Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service. Shapley would only be in the position for a month or so, until the permanent Commissioner is confirmed by the Senate, but this would be a well-deserved honor for Mr. Shapley and a well-deserved slap in the face for civil service top leadership of the IRS, all of whom would love to have this on their resumes.
President Trump has nominate Billy Long to be the new IRS Commissioner. He needs to be confirmed by the Senate, first. Biden s Commissioner has resigned, so there has to be an Acting Commissioner for the short period of time till the new Commissioner is confirmed. Deputy IRS Commissioner Doug O Donnell is now Acting Commissioner. That is routine: the law says that if the Commissioner steps down or dies, the Deputy Commissioner replaces him. This is necessary because if the vacancy is by sudden death, or is a temporary vacancy because of illness, someone has to fill the position immediately.
But Doug O Donnell is an evil man.

Good idea.
