IRS ADMITS LEAKING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION Used Against Mitt Romney in 2012 Elections
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 6/24/14 | Jim Hoft

The conservative group National Organization of Marriage accused the IRS of leaking documents to the Obama Campaign in 2012. A top Obama campaign official Joe Solomese used the information to attack Mitt Romney during the 2012 election. The Huffington Post used the leaked documents in a story questioning former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney’s support for traditional marriage. The document showed Romney donated $10,000 to NOM.

The IRS agreed this week to pay only $50,000 in damages to the National Organization for Marriage after leaking confidential information to a leading gay marriage group. The Daily Signal reported, via Free Republic:

Two years after activists for same-sex marriage obtained the confidential tax return and donor list of a national group opposed to redefining marriage, the Internal Revenue Service has admitted wrongdoing and agreed to settle the resulting lawsuit.

The Daily Signal has learned that, under a consent judgment today, the IRS agreed to pay $50,000 in damages to the National Organization for Marriage as a result of the unlawful release of the confidential information to a gay rights group, the Human Rights Campaign, that is NOM’s chief political rival.

So, why isn’t a State or Federal Prosecutor following this for Criminal Charges???
+++ = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
BO AND his Holder will get right on it.

Probably name Janet Reno as Spec Prosecutor...

Remember when Nixon FIRED Archibald Cox, his Special Prosecutor.

Was a great bumper sticker spotted on the car of a SYT

“IMPEACH THE COX SACKER”........
say that three times swiftly...

A state prosecutor has no jurisdiction.

All federal prosecutors are appointed by Obama and report to Eric Holder.

Need I go further?

Trying? I'd say the entire “machine”, with the IRS being one of the cogs, accomplished just that. Add a pinch of a loser/incompetent GOPe candidate and it was a slam dunk.

This is fascism. Someone needs to be fired and behind bars.

I think Guantanamo would be a good place for these rats. I don’t suppose anything can be done until Holder is gone. What a mess.

It would stand to reason the IRS has tax dollars allocated to its legal funds. When they pursue tax evasion, (rightfully and wrongfully) the money used in such pursuit is tax dollars.

What difference, at this point, does it make?
