Ok...........watched the video.........saying it wasn't defined.........
Sooo..........that excuses the AUDITS.............raids by the FBI..........ATF..........OSHA..........
No ...............it doesn't...............Diversion only.
Tea party groups should have never gotten 501 C4 status. That is the bottom line. The Tea party corrupted their own scam, then they got caught seeking 501C4 status. Then they got pissed when the IRS called them out on it, then made an unwarranted scandal where they themselves were doing illegal tax maneuvers.
They got caught, then tried to blame the IRS on their own tax scam. That is what happened.
FBI raids, audits, whatever, all warranted, because practicing the 1959 law, is what they were always supposed to be doing anyway.
