BREAKING: Emails Show Lois Lerner Fed True the Vote Tax Information to Democrat Elijah Cummings

New IRS emails released by the House Oversight Committee show staff working for Democratic Ranking Member Elijah Cummings communicated with the IRS multiple times between 2012 and 2013 about voter fraud prevention group True the Vote. True the Vote was targeted by the IRS after applying for tax exempt status more than two years ago. Further, information shows the IRS and Cummings' staff asked for nearly identical information from True the Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht about her organization, indicating coordination and improper sharing of confidential taxpayer information.

Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Darrell Issa, along with five Subcommittee Chairmen are demanding Cummings provide an explanation for the staff inquiries to the IRS about True the Vote and for his denial that his staff ever contacted the IRS about the group.

Anyone care to bet how fast any "news" outlet talks about it?

They are staying away from the story in droves.

Very telling that Cummings has been one of the loudest critics of the investigation.

Here’s a transcript of the exchange:

CUMMINGS: Mr. Chairman, you cannot run a committee like this. You just cannot do this. We are better than that as a country. We are better than that as a committee.

(Garbled.)

I don’t care but the fact is I am asking a question. I am the ranking member of the committee and I want to ask a question.

What are we hiding? What’s the big deal. May I ask my question? May I make my statement?

Yes, Mr. Cummings, tell us what you are hiding.

In the mid-1990s, the Internal Revenue Service filed court papers declaring that Cummings was legally obliged to pay more than $30,000 in unpaid federal taxes. He finished paying those taxes earlier this year.

Cummings appears to have violated campaign finance law by having a donor co-sign a loan that supplied $15,000 for his first House campaign, attorneys knowledgeable about that law say.

In five instances, creditors went to court to force Cummings to pay a total of $24,000 in overdue debts.

Cummings said he has been short of money, in part, because he helps to support three children: his college-age daughter with his now-estranged wife and two children he fathered by other women out of wedlock -- a 16-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter. Cummings said he paid about $30,000 last year in child support and tuition payments.

He's black and liberal so all of those things are resume enhancers.

Cummings co-chairs one of the committees investigating the IRS scandal.

Catherine Englebrecht filed an ethics complaint against Cummings for intimidation.  She called him out on it during one of the hearings.

Englebrecht is the one who had over 15 audits/visits by the IRS, FBI, ATF, and OSHA.

She is also the one that was part of True the Vote that found all those voter irregularities in Sheila Jackson Lee's district.

I wonder if the media is also involved.

Only in the coverup. That is most of them but Fox News.

Not only that, they were colluding with the government.

Darrell Issa says emails suggest Elijah Cummings prompted IRS targeting of True the Vote

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa R-Calif., has accused the panel's top Democrat of prompting the Internal Revenue Service in 2012 to target a conservative organization applying for non-profit status.

Issa said records obtained last week from the IRS show communications from the office of ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) about True the Vote, a Texas-based, non-profit conservative group that aims to prevent voter fraud.

The communications at one point involved Lois Lerner, the ex-IRS official whom Issa's panel is poised to hold in contempt of Congress on Thursday for refusing to provide testimony about her involvement in targeting conservative groups.

Facts be damned,  obama, holder and the liberal media will accuse Issa of being racist for going after cummings.

House panel votes to hold ex-IRS official Lerner in contempt of Congress

The contempt measure heads next to the House floor. House Speaker John Boehner predicted earlier this week that unless Lerner agrees to cooperate, the full House will support contempt -- from there, the case would likely head to the courts.

[franksolich]

Uh oh.

She's a woman, remember.

Now, watch the Democrats, liberals, and primitives allege this to be another example of the Republican party's "war" on women.

Better had she been a guy.

....and that's the worst kind of criminal.

My daddy always said, "There's nothing better than a good woman....and nothing worse than a bad one". Lerner is one of the bad ones.
