Top GOP officials are concerned that missing among the IRS’s internal emails are communications with Sen. Mark Udall and a dozen other Democrats who received campaign contributions from the federal agency’s union.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) first issued Freedom of Information Act requests to the IRS last year seeking all electronic and written documents between top officials there and the Democrats who received the campaign funding, but the attempts have been repeatedly stonewalled.
Udall has accepted $13,000 in donations from the National Treasury Employees Union that represents IRS employees
...
This is just another instance of Mark Udall putting his own political career above the well-being of Coloradans. Sen. Udall not only refuses to say whether he will return the contributions from the IRS union, but he refuses to demand additional information from President Obama and the IRS about this deeply concerning scandal
...
Other Democratic senators who took campaign donations from the IRS union include Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana who received $25,500, Al Frankin of Minnesota with $5,000, and Mark Begich of Alaska

It’s the dem motto: Erase it or lose it and it didn’t happen!
A Big Part Of The Problem:
Most Democrats and Republicans in Washington are primarily concerned with their political parties and their own shady wealth building than with the nation and their oath of office.
Smells like organized crime disguised as government.
People in CO couldn’t possibly understand all of that.
Organized crime in the US sold off their drug syndicate to the Mexican cartels and bought the entire US government with the proceeds.
That would explain the last few years.

If we ever manage to get a republican house/senate/WH we need to outlaw government unions. There is no way taxpayer money should be used against them.
Smells like it is time to litmus test our politicians with a 2 term limit in the house and 1 term in the senate.
Didn’t see Sander Levin and he was carrying the water yesterday when he said there was nothing to see here and just move along.
Oh goody, then they'd have nothing to lose in selling out to a future employer!
Look at what term limits did to California.
>>>If we ever manage to get a republican house/senate/WH we need to outlaw government unions. There is no way taxpayer money should be used against them. <<<
I AGREE 100%
And how many years for unelected bureaucrats?
That's the big problem all righty.
