I think there should be another penalty tied to this: The IRS should be ordered to revoke the tax-exempt status RETROACTIVELY and they should be forced to pay full taxes on all income.

You are right on target. For years I have said, posted and noted that it should be a criminal offense for any non profit to donate $, launder $'s or to participate in any election.
The first penalty would be loss of their tax exempt status. Then. the execs and board members would face criminal and civil charges. Jail sentences and loss of their homes and other personal assets would stop the bs very quickly.
