Well, with the repeated attempts to intimidate Obama’s political opponents followed by...months later... a lame apology?
Uh... YEAH.
SUPPRESSING THE VOTE---But the Cincinatti IRS office (which seems to have done most of the hands-on dirty work) is the one that controls all the battleground states that Obama needed to win in the last election.
Obama's own political support organizations (even outside of the country!) got fast-tracked........BUT any organization he thought might oppose him in those crucial states got silenced or prevented from collecting funds during the time leading up to the elections......to suppress the vote.
==========================================
Hatch Act rules.
IRS govt employees involved in this were using govt office for political activity. They violated the Hatch Act---and are subject to criminal penalties.
