IRS reveals list of tea party groups targeted for extra scrutiny

"More than three years after it admitted to targeting tea party groups for intrusive scrutiny, the IRS has finally released a near-complete list of the organizations it snagged in a political dragnet.

The tax agency filed the list last month as part of a court case after a series of federal judges, fed up with what they said was the agency’s stonewalling, ordered it to get a move on. The case is a class-action lawsuit, so the list of names is critical to knowing the scope of those who would have a claim against the IRS.

The government released names of 426 organizations. Another 40 were not released as part of the list because they had already opted out of being part of the class-action suit.

That total is much higher than the 298 groups the IRS‘ inspector general identified back in May 2013, when investigators first revealed the agency had been subjecting applications to long — potentially illegal — delays, and forcing them to answer intrusive questions about their activities."

"A series of investigations found the IRS did ask intrusive questions and did delay applications for years, in violation of policy."

"The IRS declined to comment, saying its filing spoke for itself."


And THIS SOB should have been fired long ago...

Wow government is corrupt, shocker.

 

[paulitician]

Yet not one IRS bastard has been arrested and prosecuted. Go figure? This is going the way of 'Fast & Furious.' No one will be held accountable. What a country, ay?

Means nothing. Just ask a Democrat.

However...if an R POTUS did this to left wing groups, Ds and their media would be demanding impeachment and removal.

Hypocrites.

 

[paulitician]

Fired? Many IRS thugs should have been arrested and prosecuted. I don't think any of em even lost their jobs over this. What a corrupt mess.

Hypocrites.

The POTUS had no connection, that's the only reason he's not being nailed for it.

Repubs had one dog and pony show after another investigating....researched from here to high heaven and could not find even a trace of evidence that what the irs chose to use as their parameters came from the Whitehouse or was directed by the president.

Nice to know you're okay with the practice...no whining when the favor is returned right?

Hussein should have been Impeached. This is the worst abuse of power since Nixon. It may have even been worse. Yet no one has been held accountable. Not one arrest. Hell, i don't think anyone even lost their job over it. Are we a nation of laws anymore? It sure doesn't look like it.

 

[Correll]

Lol, oh the irony !

This was not profiling.

This was not because the IRS thought that these groups were more likely to be criminals.


This was because the IRS did not like these groups.

We are not.

The RUle of Law is breaking down because the Left is corrupt and feels more commitment to their leftist agenda than to anything else such as professional responsibility, right or wrong, equal rights, fairness, justices,...

Anything.

I'm not ok with it . But I'd like to point out how full of shit righties are . This is just the kind of behavior that cons actively request from our gov. !

1. Liberals were hell-bent arguing that no targeting ever took place. It did.

2. None other than D-Elijah Cummings was proven to have played a part in the targeting. He tried to derail the hearings before the evidence of his part in it was exposed.

3. No, no direct role has been established between the WH and the IRS. One must distinguish, however, between factual evidence and common sense.

The TEA Party had a HUGE impact on the previous election, contributing to the Dem's loss of the House...and then suddenly they began being targeted. The IRS has no motivation on its own to target the TEA Party as their jobs weren't on the line. Cumming's participation is understood, as he was concerned for his own job, seeing how the TEA Party caused the jobs of his fellow Dems that last election. Although the WH 'was not directly involved', they coincidently reaped the benefitted of the TEA Party and Patriot groups being targeted just the same.

Lois Lerner should have been prosecuted to the highest extent of the law as an example to any other scum sucking public servant that gets out of line.

The IRS is not an official 'law enforcement' group.

Can you be more specific?
Vague accusations are hardly evidence.
