BOMBSHELL REPORT IRS Targeted Icky Conservative Groups The Daily Caller

Top IRS officials specifically targeted tea party groups and misled the public about its secret political targeting program led by ex-official Lois Lerner, according to a bombshell new congressional report.


The Daily Caller has obtained an advance copy of a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee report set to be released Tuesday morning that definitively proves malicious intent by the IRS to improperly block conservative groups that an IRS adviser deemed “icky.” (That’s right. “Icky.”)


“The Committee has identified eight senior leaders who were in a position to prevent or to stop the IRS’s targeting of conservative applicants,” the Oversight report states. “Each of these leaders could have and should have done more to prevent the IRS’s targeting of conservative tax-exempt applicants.”


Here are six major takeaways from the report:


1. The IRS admitted that the front office was “spinning” about the targeting rumors as early as 2012, after IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman denied the tea party targeting to Congress.​

It's a bombshell! Complete with hundreds of indictments. Right?

 

[JoeB131]

No, it's one word taken out of context.

I remember when they thought they had Lerner a couple of months ago because she said "Assholes".

 

[NYcarbineer]

Oh, so now you guys are going to believe committee reports out of Congress?

lol

There won't be any indictments or even a proper investigation until Obama is out of the White House.

Uhmmmmm . . . who should we believe, Eric Holder?

Another GOP Scandal to Nowhere. These should now be classified as Whatevergate.

Wow, so now the standard of scandal is "indictments"? The Libs are unhinged. They claim Bush tortured people. I dont see any indictments there.

That means if you stonewall long enough, then you never have a scandal.

The lack if indictments is itself a scandal.

The "investigation" the administration did itself should be cause for indictments. It is a clear obstruction of justice.

 

[jwoodie]

The biggest scandal is that a significant portion of the American public (and posters on this forum) are perfectly OK with this type of activity as long as it is used against their opposition.

Well, no the standard is, "Did you do something more serious than call a teabagger a name that hurt his feelings?"

Again, the opposition could have played by the rules and filed as a political action committee and let everyone know who their donors are. Instead they tried to hide their donors by lying about being a "Social Welfare" agency.

The IRS did it's job. It's job is to detect tax fraud.

Then why aren't you in prison?

Then why aren't you in prison?

Actually, my niece's husband works for the IRS, and even he thinks I'm too tedious in applying to the rules.

Will this report include evidence? Or are the takeaways the typical accusations that are backed by nothing?

Since when is keeping an eye on groups intent on overthrowing the U.S. government a bad thing?​
