An email recently released by the House Oversight Committee shows IRS official Sarah Ingram was pretty excited about President Obama publicly speaking out against conservative groups with "secret donors." The email was sent from Ingram to Lois Lerner and others inside the tax agency after a glowing piece was published in the New York Times about the IRS and the trouble it was having with new tax exempt applicants and groups in light of the 2010 Citizen's United ruling.
"The 'secret donor' theme will continue -- see Obama salvo and today's Diane Reeham (sp). At least SS started the idea that we don't have the law to do something," the email reads.

Every federal and government employee should be considered a part of the Democrat Party campaign apparatus
That’s been PHOTO-SHOPPED....right???
It's said that beauty is only skin deep .... but ugly goes clean to the bone.
“Every federal and government employee should be considered a part of the Democrat Party campaign apparatus”, I am a Federal Employee, do you consider ME a “part of the Democrat Party campaign apparatus”? I WAGER the I am MUCH more CONSERVATAIVE than YOU!
Sarah Ingram led the department before Lois. I think she is more to blame than Lois, as she not only started it, she handpicked Lois Lerner to continue her work.

I’m undecided as to whether federal employees, welfare recipients, and the like should vote. Perhaps in some elections...it is a slippery slope.
Bump
She just needs a makeover ;-)
The contemptibility of the Obamunists is jaw dropping.
That is just my opinion, of course.
The sent list (excluding Lerner) adds up to six. Wonder if those are the six who also had hard drive crashes or lost email?
As if there weren’t reason already to slash the federal workforce by 80%.

Donor Names Remain Secret as Rules Shift

Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies would certainly seem to the casual observer to be a political organization: Karl Rove, a political adviser to President George W. Bush, helped raise money for it; the group is run by a cadre of experienced political hands; it has spent millions of dollars on television commercials attacking Democrats in key Senate races across the country.
Yet the Republican operatives who created the group earlier this year set it up as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit corporation, so its primary purpose, by law, is not supposed to be political.
(snip)
“Federal tax law specifically distinguishes among activities to influence legislation through lobbying, to support or oppose a specific candidate for election and to do general advocacy to influence public opinion on issues,” said Sarah Hall Ingram, commissioner of the I.R.S. division that oversees nonprofits. As a result, rarely do advertisements by 501(c)(4) groups explicitly call for the election or defeat of candidates. Instead, they typically attack their positions on issues.
My first thought looking at that picture: Ben Franklin!
It seems that she recently retired:
“Ingram certainly was in contact with the Obama White House. She made 165 visits there during the IRS targeting period. The official story is that Ingram visited the White House to discuss “health policy” with Doug Shulman, then commissioner of the IRS, and White House health policy assistant Jeanne Lambrew. Ingram was head of the IRS tax-exempt office at the time. She moved on from there to coordinate IRS prosecution of Obamacare, and has since retired.”
