IRS has ‘no authority’ ‘to regulate speech,’ says House Oversight’s Biggs as panel requests docs
“I view this as a form of government surveillance of the American people,” said Arizona GOP Rep. Andy Biggs.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) blasted the IRS Monday for allegedly conducting “government surveillance” on Americans following a Just the News report on the agency’s invasive questioning of an election education nonprofit, as the House Oversight Committee requested to see the underlying documents.
In action reminiscent of the Lois Lerner targeting scandal under the Obama administration when the IRS singled out conservative groups for audits, the Biden IRS last year subjected an election education nonprofit applying for tax-empt status to intrusive formal questioning the group believes infringed on its speech rights under the First Amendment.
Just the News reported the story on Sunday after reviewing documents exchanged between the IRS and the Adams, Baldwin, and Covey Foundation, Inc. (ABC) that showed the agency grilling the foundation about its views on elections and how it would prevent “inflammatory language” from being creeping into its educational activities.
The IRS questions are “further evidence that the Biden administration believes it has the authority to license thought and speech, and it doesn’t,” Phill Kline, a founder of the organization, told Just the News.
Responding to the story Monday on “Just the News, No Noise” TV show, Biggs, who sits on the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees, said the IRS is supposed to perform ministerial functions, such as receiving taxes, not regulate speech.
The queries in the IRS interrogatory are “a form of government surveillance of the American people,” Biggs said, noting that he’s the chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance. “There is no authority for the IRS to regulate speech.”

Sickening. I wouldn’t recommend drinking any milk from cows from anywhere near there, if the cows live and can even produce.
“If it can do this to chickens in a night, imagine what it will do to us in 20 years”.
I don’t think it will take 20 years, unfortunately. If this is getting no media cover or legal attention, then I guess the Farmers can’t ask for compensation for the Lost animals. Same for compensation for people
