After IRS stonewalls, Tea Party Patriots sues for documents on targeting
Daily Caller ^ | April 15, 2014 | by Alex Pappas

The group Tea Party Patriots filed suit on this Tax Day against the Internal Revenue Service for documents about the agency’s infamous targeting of conservative groups last year.

The group hopes the documents will shed more light on why conservative and tea party groups were singled out for extra scrutiny by the IRS while applying for non-profit status ahead of the 2012 election.

Tea Party Patriots also wants to learn more about the specific roles of former IRS official Lois Lerner and other Obama administration officials in developing these regulations that led to the special targeting, officials said Tuesday during a conference call with reporters.

Newt Gingrich also made this suggestion.

Good for him.

filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia,

That court is stacked. Expect a ruling of "No Standing!"

“Holder cannot stop a civil suit.”

Progressive judges can.

Will they be adding the DOJ to the lawsuit since the emails came out today connecting them to the scandle?

AG Holder cannot stop a civil suit. Also there is a provision for a RICO action in civil law. They should use that....... and name Holder and other officials.

N-i-c-e going.

AS FREEPER MOUTON INSIGHTFULLY POSTED: Sue them civilly. Lerner/Cummings using the mails in furtherance of organized criminal activity and obstruction of justice looks like a RICO violation......forfeiture of personal property could be used against them both.

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

It's very easy to file a RICO action....anybody can file....how-to's are all over the net.

My observations tell me the scalawags always make a mistake---usually on paper. TTV's atty, Cleta Mitchel needs to get her hands on as many documents as possible.

Mitchel needs to establish RICO's "pattern of organized activites" ---- usually RICO is filed in conjunction w/ other proveable crimes (felonies).

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

The IRS Conservative Targeting Scandal involves:

•Targeting Hundreds of conservative groups

•At least 5 pro-Israel groups

•Constitutional-based groups

•Groups that criticized Obama administration

•At least two pro-life groups

•An 83 year-old Nazi concentration camp survivor

•An 180 year-old Baptist paper

•A Texas voting-rights group (Obama has targeted Republican Texas for Dummcrats)

•A Hollywood conservative group targeted and harassed

•Conservative activists and businesses

•At least one conservative Hispanic group

•100% of the 501(c)(4) Groups Audited by IRS Were Conservative.

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

The unrepentant, undeterred IRS continued to target groups even after the scandal was exposed. There is NO EVIDENCE that a single liberal group got the same scrutiny.

Any judge that dares rules against Holder justice department will be castrated publicly as racist extremists. They might as well have stated that they opppose same sex marriage.

Look how Obama reacted to a SCOTUS ruling he didn't like. He attacked at them in his SOTU and still got re-elected

There is only ONE set of rules, Obama’s rules, and only we must follow them, not him.
There is only one right to *free speech* now,
you are free to say what Obama tells you to say just like Rev Al does a whole hour five days a week on MSNBC.

But.... many minorities+single women are convinced that he cares about them personally, that's all that counts.

That's what they say... but it's not how they're used.
