It eventually comes down to who who at the IRS was responsible for targeting conservative and Tea Party groups for special scrutiny.
Because, after all, you cant put a system in jail. You cant put a report in prison. You cant indict a department for corruption. At the end of the day its people who are responsible for using the enormous powers of the Internal Revenue Service to go after other people and groups because of their political beliefs.
U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) told the tale of one of his constituents who applied for tax-exempt status for her Tea Party group in July 2010. Twenty months later she got her first response from the IRS, a letter with dozens of questions. She answered them all, but shes still waiting for approval. However, during the intervening three years she was visited by the FBIs domestic terrorism unit, had four additional FBI inquiries, had both her personal and business taxes audited and been the subject of an OSHA inspection.
Brady then asked ousted IRS head Steven Miller if the IRS was in the habit of sharing information with other federal agencies, which under these circumstances would be illegal.
I would be shocked, congressman, if that happened, he said.
Casablancas Capt. Renault could not have done better.....

Yet did nothing illegal........

You can’t put them in jail, but you damned sure can stop funding this illegal activity. It is bad enough what is happening to us...but to support it with our tax dollars? If we have problems with the IRS, we can thank the Republicans that continually keep funding this stuff. Don’t blame the Democrats, they are the low informatupion, uninformed takers...not their fault, it’s genetic, they probably had a poor childhood. But the Republicans tell us they know better, and that is why we voted for them. They sure look like Democrats today don’t they?
Impeaching Obama is almost second riddle to cleaning house in the various politicized federal agencies to rebuild their credibility and the trust of the american people...
Maybe Congress should start requiring that any correspondence sent out from the IRS must have a contact name on it or the recipient can simply ignore it.
Look no further...
Thank you for posting this. This is a huge, important point. It should be repeated everywhere and often.
Jarett said right after the election that they were going to "punish their enemies."
That's why Jarett has a USSS detail as big as the president's.

You are correct.
The penalty for election fraud should be death
The election rigging is the greatest crime there is against the Republic.
18 USC 1001: it is a felony to lie to a employee of the federal government but it is no crime at all for them to lie to the citizens.
That needs to change.
I would like to know if FOO (friends of obama), republican and democrate, who were given a pass on taxes to support his agenda.
Everything is possible now.
Well....since our tax dollars pay their salaries.... they are really OUR employees. So that law is illogical and yes, needs to be changed. And since the Obama leftists have deemed that the IRS should run roughshod over EVERY American now via ObamaCare enforcement.... we must now throw out ObamaCare along with our current mind-boggling complex tax code and start fresh and new with an across the board flat tax. It's now or never.... literally. But with a wussie (I'm being nice here) like Boehner in control of our ONLY means of power....I fear that nothing will happen to correct these heinous problems we're facing.
No, you aren't the only one. I recall seeing smirking stories in the liberal media, gloating about how the Tea Party was nowhere near the factor that it had been in the 2010 elections. Now we know why.
Call Attorney General Holder with this idea, then get back with us on how he reacted. Republicans can't indict people under Federal law, only the AG can do that.
When many on this website decided to not vote for Romney because he wasn't conservative enough, or because he had once been pro-choice, or because he was Mormon, or whatever, we get another 4 years of Holder. Good work by those purists. I can hardly wait for the next Supreme Court opening.
What do you call an administration that uses the IRS, EPA, OSHA, CIA to silence and cripple their political opponents?
Hope and change.
Liberals/progressives never think the tactics they invent and use will ever be used against them.
Because they do it for the children...
The only people more self-serving than today’s politicians, are the people who voted for them.
You should be very, very wary when some or any of your enemies come to your "side". The residents of Troy learned this lesson the hard way.
I was in the same boat and a Christian but they figured it out. According to them, conservatives can’t work for Social Services
Don’t lose sight of all the FBI files that Craig Stevenson (?) stole and gave to Hillary & Bill.
I doubt they went back in total or without being copied.
IF anyone has the attitude of having files on people, it is the Clintons.
