These Senators owe the nation an explanation as to why they wanted the IRS to investigate 501(c)(4) groups involved with political issues.
Carl Levin of Michigan did it in writing as well -
In other words, this "request" infers that no such scrutiny has occurred YET.
It's a type of "scrubbing" the record.
BTTT!
Why is this not violation of the Hatch Act and RICO.
“These Senators owe the nation an explanation as to why they wanted the IRS to investigate...”
You have to be kidding? Is there any doubt as to why? They have POWER and want to exercise it.
No one in the press has the integrity to call them on it.
As far as their request for investigation, it may simply demonstrate their ignorance of the law. In any case, the IRS should have properly enlightened them, as SME on the matter.
Do you have a list of how many copies and who received them?

Long before the Internal Revenue Service revealed it had improperly targeted conservative 501(c)(4) groups, a group of Democratic senators led by New York Sen. Chuck Schumer urged the IRS to do just that.
Last year, Schumer, along with Democratic Sens. Michael Bennet, Sheldon Whitehouse, Jeff Merkley, Tom Udall, Jeanne Shaheen and Al Franken, penned a letter calling on the agency to cap the amount of the political spending by groups masquerading as “social welfare organizations.”

Carl Lenin - Communist (MI) also wrote a letter asking for certain conservative groups to be investigated too. Funny thing, no such request for the Obama groups, media matters, etc.
Watching O’rielly ( yeH I know) tonight he interviewed a business man (Vander Sloot) who after donating to Romney had his name plastered on the internet and smeared as a crook and then was audited by the IRS and the labor Dept. There was a person who worked for a Senate Subcommittee that spent 3 days at the county court house digging for dirt on him.
So there are Sitting U.S. Senators that are DIRECTLY involved in abuse of power and using the IRS to persecute Conservatives.
Mr.Lenin better have his A game in hand because he is going to have to answer some real uncomfortable questions at his next few public meetings!
I hope the rest of you call out your very own Crook Senator(s)
501(c)3 is a bit different. That's where you find most of the Leftwingtard foundations and such. You also find Bernie Madoff's cronies in that classification as well ~ they're the ones who knew Bernie was stealing and made sure they got a piece out of him first.
You've never heard of any of those senators demanding IRS take a good look at the nonprofits who were partying down with Bernie's money.
Anyone have the picture of Franken in his diaper??
Needless to say none of the Senators seem to have raised any issues with Obama's Organizing for America, or any other liberal group.
That's a great question! And also the various memos and emails that were written within the IRS as a result of them receiving the letter from the Senators. I'm sure they aren't about to surface.
oooohhhh how many of these are up for re-election?
How many can be TOSSED OUT NOW!!! :)
Better yet, how many can be tossed out who are in states with Republcan governors???
Up for reelection in 2014:
Al Franken

Jeanne Shaheen
Bump

retiring.
