IRS sued for stealing the medical records of 10 million Americans
Human Events ^ | May 15, 2013 | John Hayward

Posted on 05/15/2013 8:52:29 AM PDT by Zakeet

The last scandal dampening rods just failed, and the reactor core at the Internal Revenue service may be about to blow. From Healthcare IT News:

The Internal Revenue Service is now facing a class action lawsuit over allegations that it improperly accessed and stole the health records of some 10 million Americans, including medical records of all California state judges.

According to a report by Courthousenews.com, an unnamed HIPAA-covered entity in California is suing the IRS, alleging that some 60 million medical records from 10 million patients were stolen by 15 IRS agents. The personal health information seized on March 11, 2011, included psychological counseling, gynecological counseling, sexual/drug treatment and other medical treatment data.

“This is an action involving the corruption and abuse of power by several Internal Revenue Service agents,” the complaint reads. “No search warrant authorized the seizure of these records; no subpoena authorized the seizure of these records; none of the 10,000,000 Americans were under any kind of known criminal or civil investigation and their medical records had no relevance whatsoever to the IRS search.

“IT personnel at the scene, a HIPPA facility warning on the building and the IT portion of the searched premises, and the company executives each warned the IRS agents of these privileged records,” it continued.

“Reject the voices warning of government tyranny” - BHO

Those are going to make HILARIOUS campaign ads for Republicans to juxtapose a clip of Obama making that statement at the commencement speach over and over, followed by clips of all these scandals. (Maybe followed by his statement that he will side with the Muslims)

Maybe it’s time to boycott the IRS. Kill the bloated beast and put in a fair and reasonable taxation system. Fair tax or flat tax, I don’t care.

Court Orders ‘Deletions’ in Clinton IRS Report
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1521024/posts
November 12, 2005
A three-judge panel overseeing Independent Counsel David Barrett’s investigation into abuses by the Internal Revenue Service under the Clinton administration has ordered Barrett to make “discrete deletions” is the draft he submitted 15 months ago. The deletion order “has stoked speculation that [it] has more to do with the next presidential campaign,” reports the Wall Street Journal, noting widespread rumors that “the draft report contains information potentially embarrassing to another Clinton administration figure, former first lady and current New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.”

These witch hunts by the IRS were systemic and widespread. Clearly NOT a ‘one off’ or just one or two rogue IRS employees. This was POLICY, nationwide, and it goes to the top.

Isn’t a part of you proud MSM journalists are starting to wake up? Folks don’t have to be ashamed of being connected to the profession anymore...

Truthfully, the opposite. I hope the MSM gets nailed to the wall for the way they provided such ample air cover for the Obama administration, and completely abandoned their vital role in American life as the watchdog for the people.

Rush nailed it yesterday, when he termed the AP's irritation at the regime as nothing but a lover's quarrel. They'll be kissing and making up within days. The "media" are predisposed to love Obama... they are emotionally unable to detach from him.

From your stated experience, how do we get this “out there” to the larger outlets for greater news exposure?

Tweet it. If you Facebook, Facebook it. If you Tumblr, Tumblr it. Repeatedly. Talk about it endlessly. Bore your friends to tears with it if you need to. Not even kidding. This needs to become part of the narrative, and once it does, it will really resonate because it has to do with health care and privacy.

Chances are they're waiting for their EBT cards and Obamaphones in the mail.

How are the useful idiots over at DU dealing with all of this? Anyone know?

I went over a few days ago, a few times. There were no articles on the IRS scandal. I think the gatekeepers there do not want this discussed much.

I went by yesterday and there was a thread viciously bashing Conservatives: It was about how Tea Party groups should NOT have non-profit status.

The DUmp is filled with deranged leftists.

Correct. The MSM are true believers

I fully expect when all this passes, the MSM will be even more viciously rabid in their effort to destroy Conservatives.

The MSM is only mad at Obama because they are hurting over the fact that they don't (yet) understand why the one would target them. They will try harder to convince the one that they are one with his goals of transforming America.

The MSM will NEVER be on the side of Liberty. They hatred will die when they do.

Must be looking for people too nuts to own a gun. I can see starting with Californicating judges. And won’t they need to hire more than the current 15,000 new hires to cull ten million med files? If they had asked nicely I’d have sent them my own one page file. And who in the bleep at IRS would have any idea how to read any but the simplest of medical records anyway? Who’s the new guy?
