The Treasury Department has admitted for the first time that confidential tax records of several political candidates and campaign donors were improperly scrutinized by government officials, but the Justice Department has declined to prosecute any of the cases.
Its investigators also are probing two allegations that the Internal Revenue Service targeted for audit candidates for public office, the Treasurys inspector general for tax administration, J. Russell George, has privately told Sen. Chuck Grassley.
In a written response to a request by Mr. Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, Mr. George said a review turned up four cases since 2006 in which unidentified government officials took part in unauthorized access or disclosure of tax records of political donors or candidates, including one case he described as willful. In four additional cases, Mr. George said, allegations of improper access of IRS records were not substantiated by the evidence.

“Shut up,” Attorney General Holder explained.
I now find the IRS to be at the top of list for termination, followed by the former leader, BATFE.
But hey did you hear, Zimmerman was found not guilty!!!
Eric Holder will not prosecute this but he will run all over town promising to nail Zimmerman’s arse.
I cannot stand this country as it is, right this moment.
This is no longer the country I know and love, I don’t know what it is anymore.
I suspect we are living or just about at— full on police state.
But hey did you hear, Zimmerman was found not guilty!!!
***************************
Eric Holder sure did! He’s on it!
Stalking & harrassing Republicans is ok.
This Zimmerman thing is a GREAT opportunity for a document dump!
In all fairness, the “Justus” Department is going to be tied up going after Zimmerman.
Apparently, and Republicans thus far haven’t done a whole lot to show they give two chits.
Already know the answers: Reid requested the records and Romney was the target.
“Apparently, and Republicans thus far havent done a whole lot to show they give two chits.”
Maybe they will when they notice that people have stopped sending them money. Too risky, you know.
You know, I think Romney is glad that he lost. I think he tried to make the country better, but realized that it was impossible with Republicans having his back (loaded with knives)...however, he has enough money where he could just tell everyone to go to hell.
They certainly haven’t. F&F, AP, IRS, NSA, Benghazi... see nothing, say nothing, do nothing.
We are so screwed. We have absolutely no representation.

I agree, though I am quite happy with Ted Cruz. I suppose I can’t say absolutely none, but pretty durn close!
Don’t cut him any slack... he does not deserve it. He lost because he was actually the opposite of what he ran as... and he threw the fight in the second debate.
All civil rights are equal, but some civil rights are more equal than others.....
