Conservative Activist Files “Abuse of Power” Complaint Against Dem Rep. Elijah Cummings For Trying To Intimidate Her “True The Vote” Group…


Elijah Cummings

Clearly a racist.

Via Fox News:


A conservative activist targeted by the IRS and other agencies claimed Thursday that Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings also tried to intimidate her, filing a formal complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics alleging an “abuse of power.”

Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote and the King Street Patriots, aired the allegations during a hearing hosted by the committee on which Cummings sits. An attorney working with her also questioned whether Cummings might have encouraged the IRS and other agencies to target her groups.

What did the President know? Did he order it?


The Obama administration’s Treasury Department and former IRS official Lois Lerner conspired to draft new 501(c)(4) regulations to restrict the activity of conservative groups in a way that would not be disclosed publicly, according to the House Committee on Ways and Means.

The Treasury Department and Lerner started devising the new rules “off-plan,” meaning that their plans would not be published on the public schedule. They planned the new rules in 2012, while the IRS targeting of conservative groups was in full swing, and not after the scandal broke in order to clarify regulations as the administration has suggested.

The rules place would place much more stringent controls on what would be considered political activity by the IRS, effectively limiting the standard practices of a wide array of non-profit groups.

“Don’t know who in your organizations is keeping tabs on c4s, but since we mentioned potentially addressing them (off -plan) in 2013, I’ve got my radar up and this seemed interesting…,” Treasury official Ruth Madrigal wrote in a June 14, 2012 email to Lerner and others obtained by Ways and Means.

Ways and Means chairman Rep. Dave Camp blasted the off-the-record plan during a hearing Wednesday with IRS commissioner John Koskinen, and called for the administration’s newly proposed 501(c)(4) rules to be halted until criminal investigations into the IRS targeting scandal are complete.

“If Treasury and the IRS fabricated the rationale for a rule change it would tend to raise questions about the integrity of the rule-making process,” Camp said...

Progressive, liberal groups were targeted as well. I want them all targeted and investigated. On another note, I can't wait until the National Review goes out of business.

That's a tired old lie.

Go away.

298 Conservative Groups were targeted, only 7 dimocrap scum groups were targeted.

moron

Gotta love these 'Conservatives' doing their best to create an oligarchy in this nation. Citizens United was a big step in that direction and must be overturned.

Tell us how we do that? Tell us?

Or don't you think before you open your fucking mouth?

Didn't think so.

There are only two ways to overturn a SCOTUS ruling....

1) Have another SCOTUS decision reverse it.... Which virtually never happens.

2) A Constitutional Amendment

Try thinking first, typing second.

Conservatives are complaining because the IRS wants to prevent political groups from claiming tax advantages reserved for non-political groups.

From whenever the tax law was put in place.

Right, which is why Media Matters and other Progressive Political advocacy groups are going to have the IRS look into their operations

Well, you can dream and all...

But there aren't enough old racist white guys for that to ever happen.

First thing voter ID, then the IRS audits

Yeah, because making it harder for black folks to vote is really the ticket.

Hey, dumbass, maybe instead of trying to keep black folks from voting, give them a good reason to vote for you....

Oh, no, that's too complicated.

You guys lost 5 of the last 6 popular votes. And you'd have probably have lost in 2004 if you hadn't stolen 2000.

What in the world, besides thinking that Black folks are dumber than you, would make you think that Black folks would have any more difficulty obtaining a voter ID than White folks would?

You soft core racists really don't believe that Black folks are your mental equals, do you? You do believe that without extra help from White folks, Black folks just couldn't make the grade.

Thank God that Black folks have people like you to keep them up with the rest of us. You can do for them just like you did for the native Americans. Real success story there.

Conservatives are complaining because we expect the federal government, and all of its agencies to comply with the law, as it is written, follow the rules that they have established and posted, and to treat all Americans equally regardless of their political ideology.

Is that too damn hard for you liberal/socialists to understand?

The IRS has already admitted that they treated applicants differently, depending on their perceived political leanings. That is already beyond your attempts to spin the subject.

As to your ignorant belief that the IRS should be in the business of regulating political speech, that is not their function, never has been their function, and should never be their function.

Didja notice how the Daily Pisser didn't quote the email in full, or even link to it?

Yeah. I didn't think you noticed.

Did you notice they did not quote the words "tea party" or "conservative groups" or "right wing organizations" as even being in that email?

YOU made up that part, paulitician! Manufactured bullshit all on your own, like a good little puppet. Well done!



Words quoted in a vacuum, completely out of context, is a huge clue of partisan hackery.

The Daily Pisser has been shown time and time and time again to be a lying piece of shit rag, it amazes me people still line up to drink their piss.

[JoeB131]

all of sudden with Obama's election and all the monies he received from foreign donors such as SOROS, and UNIONS buying favor by donating to the Democrat/progressive/commie party, etc , they are worrying about where money is coming from

sit in silence people and you will have tyranny

Unions represent working folks, why do you have a problem with them "buying favor"?

I worry more about big Corporations and insane churches which have bought out the GOP.
