YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Kathleen Walters worked at the IRS for nearly 20 years before resigning over an order to share data on immigrants that her legal team said would actually break the law. “If you lose a job, you can get another job,” she says. “But if you lose your integrity, it is very hard to get it back.”
