The Obama Administration’s IRS scandal is multi-faceted. In addition to the persecution of conservative non-profits by Lois Lerner et al., the question has been percolating for some years whether Obama’s IRS has transferred confidential taxpayer information to Obama’s White House in violation of federal criminal laws. The issue first arose when Austin Goolsbee of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers told reporters that he had information about Koch Industries that could only have come, illegally, from confidential IRS files. When questions were asked, the administration immediately clammed up.
Years later, the judicial system may be poised to expose another layer of Obama corruption. A group called Cause of Action began a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Department of the Treasury, and for several years, your taxpayer dollars have funded the administration’s cover-up.
But nothing lasts forever, and a federal court in Washington, D.C. has finally overruled the Treasury Department’s frivolous objections, and ordered Treasury to respond to Cause of Action’s request for documents. That request relates to the Department’s Inspector General’s investigation–which began a long time ago, and probably has long been concluded–and asks for “[a]ll documents pertaining to any investigation by [TIGTA] into the unauthorized disclosure of [26 U.S.C.] §6103 ‘return information’ to anyone in the Executive Office of the President.”

They’re all getting “bonuses” now. It’s too bad they don’t use the money to pay their own back taxes.
The last shred of confidence I had in the integrity of our government disappeared after learning of the corruption by the IRS.
Liberals are destroying this nation. Our government can no longer be trusted.
Liberals are destroying this nation. Our government can no longer be trusted.
If you don't trust this government, you'll demand another.
Which is exactly what the liberals are waiting for.
And then they drafted another...which is.....
Normally, an incoming administration wraps up and dismisses any ongoing investigation of the previous administration.
Call it a "political courtesy".
However, the Obama administration's activities are so egregious as to demand these investigations be carried to a conclusion, relevant facts revealed and the guilty punished.
The Clinton administration was guilty of gross corruption. But the Obama administration has been guilty, not only of gross corruption, but of concerted efforts to subvert the Constitution and limit freedoms.
Those guilty need to go to prison. An example needs to be made.
I’m sure Boehner/McConnell will do something.../s
Boy you got that right.
Internal Revenue of Socialists (IRS) doubling as a political weapon.
Socialism Is Legal Plunder - Bastiat
Depopulate socialists from the body politic. Dismantle and/or defund their collectives, foreign and domestic.
Plunder (obvious and hidden - tax, inflation) and death are the twin towers of socialists/totalitarians. Witness current events. Witness history.
No they don't, but I think all the minions who are guilty as sin, will get a Christmas bonus in December, 2016. The Obungler will pardon hundreds, if not thousands of these evil scum bags, and then defy anyone to do anything about it. No one will ever go to the big house for anything.
There is Royality in both parties..
with Dukes, Duchesses, Bishops, Earls, Barons, Vicounts, Clan Chieftains and Knights of the Realm..
People above the law.. special... protected..
The French Revolution is starting to look pretty good..
You know........ americanized..
they better wait until after his power of pardon has been exercised. Furthermore there better be no political courtesy if and when the prosecutions come to fruit. Anything less than vigorous prosecution will only encourage a repeat of past misdeeds.
Don’t worry the pubbies will fund the monster.
You might say that, if the past Democrat administration isn't prosecuted, then the next Democrat administration will go further.
I am convinced it really would be the camps. I wonder if that would set anything off?
0bama and his turkey-neck shriveled up old hag lerner got away with their crimes. There is little hope for justice for the law breakers.
A rumor floating around says that prospective AG nominee Loretta Lynch was the Harvard roommate of Holder’s wife, and that “the fixeroo is in” to install another Team Obama gangster crony at DOJ. Any truth to this rumor?
