Lets taxpayer advocate office hire its own lawyers

The National Taxpayer Advocate could appoint lawyers who report directly to that official, and could make staffing decisions for all employees of the Taxpayer Advocate Service.

• The National Taxpayer Advocate could hire lawyers to work inside the Taxpayer Advocate Service
• Those lawyers would report directly to the National Taxpayer Advocate instead of the Treasury's top lawyer
• The Advocate's power to make personnel decisions would cover any employee of the service, not just local advocates
