The IRS Scandal: No justice from the Justice Department

I have said it before -- the Obama administration’s Internal Revenue Service is institutionally incapable of self-correction.

And, now it is even clearer that the Obama administration’s Department of Justice is incapable of holding accountable those responsible for a massive illegal targeting scheme. Even worse, its own involvement in the scandal not only means that it can’t properly investigate the IRS, it should instead be investigated for cooperating with the IRS in its campaign of censorship and oppression.

The latest troubling development comes as the Justice Department announced it will not pursue criminal contempt charges against former top IRS official Lois Lerner – who’s at the center of a scandal that unlawfully targeted conservative and Tea Party groups because of their political views.

Freedom and honest government will return if we just do as we are told and continue to vote.

And beyond specific situations and charges, there is the oppressive discouragment from taking any action to oppose the Regime. How many people when thinking about donating or volunteering for conservative causes decide not to simply because they are afraid of reprisals from government agencies? How many voters never voice an opinion or vote their conscience because they fear that big brother is watching and will take action against them. The country is being conditioned to live on its knees rather than die on its feet.

Ohio Ping

some good news

Federal judge orders IRS to turn over list of targeted Tea Party groups

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/04/federal_judge_orders_irs_to_turn_over_list_of_targeted_tea_party_groups.html

A federal judge in Ohio has ordered the IRS to turn over a list of Tea Party groups singled out for special scrutiny after they applied for tax exempt status.

snip

The judge has not yet certified the tea party groups as a class, and the information that they’ve obtained so far through depositions remains under seal. But backers say if they can be certified, then they will begin to try to pry loose some of the key information about how the IRS chose which groups it went after in its targeting.

The Ohio lawsuit is the only major legal jeopardy still remaining in the courts for the IRS .....

Lerner fast-tracked this Obama tax exempt.

=====================================================

BACKSTORY----OBAMA'S HALF-BROTHER LINKED TO MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
WND | Jerome R. Corsi / August 2013 / FR Posted by barmag25

NEW YORK – Malik, Pres Obama’s half-brother in Kenya could cause the White House more headaches over new evidence (1) linking Malik to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and, (2) establishing a controversial tax-exempt fast-tracked by then-IRS supervisor Lois Lerner.

Malik Obama’s duties as overseer of the Muslim Brotherhood’s international investments is one reason for the Obama administration’s support of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to an Egyptian report citing the vice president of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt...

====================================================

Malik's tax-free foundation----The Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF)---(named after their dad), was fast-tracked by Lois Lerner for IRS tax-exempt status.

The BHOF is based at a Virginia UPS store, according to its website. The organization’s IRS filings list another Virginia address that is actually a drug rehab center where the foundation does not appear ever to have been based.

As first reported by The Daily Caller, the foundation was speedily approved for IRS exemption by Lois Lerner, the self-same IRS senior official at the center of the targeting of conservative organizations that have waited over two years to receive tax exempt status. The IRS thoughtfully gave Obama Foundation retroactive fund-raising status.......which it stupidly never applied for.

The tax-exempt Barack H. Obama Foundation is run by Abon’go “Roy” Malik Obama, the half-brother of Barack Obama.

The foundation’s mission statement is “to provide people everywhere with resources to uplift their welfare and living standards in memory of dad---Barack H. Obama: in the region of his birth, Kenya, and beyond.” Its guiding principle is “the inherent belief that no one can truly enjoy the riches he has reaped if his neighbor suffers....."We seek to elevate the human condition so that everyone can live in dignity and truly enjoy having one another as neighbors.”

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

Despite raising more than $250,000, the alleged charity doesn’t seem to have done much. Its website claims the organization has built a madrassa and was building an imam’s house as well as some “proposed latrines,” but there is no other evidence that the nonprofit was working to “mitigate social-shortcomings in areas of education and literacy, health and well-being, poverty, and lack of community infrastructure in such basic needs such as water, electricity, shelter and sustenance,” as the site says.

Alton Ray Baysden, a former Dept of State employee, allegedly a registered Republican, who helped start the Barack H Obama foundation, declined to comment before seeing copies of a reporter’s passport and govt ID, along with a description of the article’s “motivation” and “slant.”

Repeated reporters' phone calls went to the organization’s voicemail and were not returned.

================================

OBAMA GIVES 50 MILLION DOLLARS IN AID TO KENYA;
O'S KENYAN HALF-BROTHER READY TO CASH IN---
VIA THE TAX-EXEMPT "OBAMA FOUNDATION"?

The tax-exempt “charity” named for their absent Dad. Malik spends most of his time in Kenya with his 12 wives while Obama finances his half brother, Malik, a major fundraiser for the Muslim Bortherhood.

Meanwhile, Republican “leaders” in Congress grovel underneath their desks.

Alternately, Republican “leaders” in Congress quietly cheer the further subjugation of US taxpayers.

Take your pick.

This needs to be played up. It has the potential to strike multiple blows against the enemies of the Conservative movement in both parties with one swing, while ‘outing’ the IRS for the arm of big sibling tyranny that it is.

“God will get them in the end....ALL of them.”

That’s nice. But until then, we continue to slide into tyranny and dictatorship. Justice in the afterlife doesn’t give a lot of hope for our mortal lives.

When a government exempts itself from “Equal and Fair Justice to All” and adopts different rules for itself and another set for its constituents, and employs the long arm of one of its agents, in this case the IRS with impunity, in order to silence or punish any opposition, it is on the slippery slop of a road leading to much worse things to come.

Just like a petty thief trying to find out with how much he can get by with, gradually working his way up to bigger and better things hoping to eventually snare the jackpot, which in case of a nation, helped along and facilitated by an ignorant public may be nothing short of a dictatorship.
