Title: IRS agent: Tax agency is still targeting Tea Party groups
Post by: Chris_ on August 08, 2013, 09:19:23 PM
In a remarkable admission that is likely to rock the Internal Revenue Service again, testimony released Thursday by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp reveals that an agent involved in reviewing tax exempt applications from conservative groups told a committee investigator that the agency is still targeting Tea Party groups, three months after the IRS scandal erupted..

In closed door testimony before the House Ways & Means Committee, the unidentified IRS agent said requests for special tax status from Tea Party groups is being forced into a special "secondary screening" because the agency has yet to come up with new guidance on how to judge the tax status of the groups.

Lois Lerner may be on "vacation" but as long as Obama is in the White House, this will continue.

The IRS, it seems also illegally partnered with the FEC, widening the scandal...

I swear, this institutional arrogance knows no bounds.  The bureaucracy needs to be tamed - liberty will never again exist while it still lives and grows in its current form.

No surprise here, 0bama claimed he was going to get to the bottom of it and fix it. He has spent the last 5 years with a laser like focus on jobs and he hasn't fixed that problem yet, so naturally just after a few months he couldn't possibly have fixed the IRS problem. It takes brilliant men like him a lot of time to fix things don't you know?  :-)
