This scores high on corruption (5/5) due to alleged corrupt process in redirecting enforcement funds, with institutional capture (3/5) of IRS operations and rule-of-law concerns (3/5) around selective enforcement capacity.

B-score is elevated by media-friendly 'corruption' framing and anti-IRS sentiment exploitation, creating genuine distraction potential from the governance substance.
