The big allegation was that $cientology got it's tax exempt status, because they blackmailed the head of the IRS at the time. It was alleged that he was a pedophile.

They actually infiltrated the IRS, if I remember correctly. I think I read an account of them just walking right in, with the help of a fellow believer that worked there, or something. Cleaned out all the files and just took what they wanted. Blackmailed the FBI investigators, too. Maybe it was in the anon vs Scientology video on Netflix? Can’t remember.

Travolta has had people inside the IRS since the 80's...

Wow, that's amazing, I wouldn't doubt it.

I was referring to the Scientology leadership. I am uneducated on Travolta’s involvement with their shenanigans. It is my understanding that the wealthier contributors have considerable sway. I once heard it said that they have a jet for the exclusive use of Tom Cruise.

I see. I would consider Travolta in a way, Scientology leadership.

Tom has his own jet personally. If they give Tom access to the 'Scientology' jet, it's probably for PR reasons or because Tom is expected to make 'good use' of the jet, like trafficking drugs. I wonder how many times "Tom's jet" has been flying without him in it?

If I remember correctly, they gave him a jet and he was very picky and demanding about it. It’s in a Netflix doc.
