Revealed: The 55 questions the IRS asked one tea party group (edited for space)
The Daily Mail (UK) ^ | May 13, 2013 | David Martosko

The Internal Revenue Service wrote to the Richmond Tea Party last year demanding to know the names of all its financial donors and volunteers, as part of a 55-question inquisition into its application for tax-exempt status, MailOnline has learned.

The agency wanted to know 'the names of the donors, contributors, and grantors' for every year 'from inception to the present.'

It also demanded 'the amounts of each of the donations, contributions, and grants and the dates you received them.'

'How did you use these donations, contributions, and grants?' the IRS asked. 'Provide the details

This is probaby the best current rundown about this horrific conduct by the regime. Too bad it has to come from a UK paper.

This is connect-the-dots intel like CIA uses to find organization structures of groups.

I wonder where all this data went? Someone somewhere put a database together making use of all of this.

You can identify key personnel and then target them with all sorts of things to keep them ineffective.

So who did the analysis? CIA? NSA? Google, Facebook, Yahoo?

The president and a bunch of liberal democrats were elected, so mission accomplished!

In the mean time, the weak-kneed “leadership” on the republican side (Boehner, Cantor, McConnell, Kyl, Cornyn, Romney, Ryah) folded at every turn, either due to their own incompetence or other Chicago thug tactics or both.

The Tea Party fervor was successfully tamped town between 2010 and 2012 by all in government, but the beauty of republican government is that there’s always another election around the corner!

The president needs to apologize for this and many people should go to jail

Attorney for Tea Party group: IRS told me a year ago about ‘secret working group’

Published May 14, 2013

Washington Free Beacon

An attorney for a Tea Party group that believes the IRS targeted it for special scrutiny while applying for nonprofit status said an IRS analyst told him over a year ago that the agency had a “secret working group” devoted to investigating conservative organizations.

Attorney Dan Backer, whose client TheTeaParty.net has been trying to obtain tax-exempt status since 2010, said an IRS analyst mentioned the alleged working group during a phone conversation about one of Backer’s other client organizations.

“More than a year ago, one of these guys, really a slip of the tongue, [said] ‘Yeah we have this new working group that’s really looking at all these conservative organizations,’” Backer said.

If true, this is grounds for forcing resignation. This is a political operation gone completely into illegal activities.

We’ll never get impeachment and removal of office through the Senate, so just go straight to the Nixon end game and force resignation.
