IRS refuses to turn over documents on targeting to Senate
Washington Examiner ^ | 6/5/13 | Susan Ferrechio

Posted on 06/05/2013 9:09:42 AM PDT by Nachum

The Internal Revenue Service has failed to turn over documents requested by the powerful Senate tax-writing panel, which is investigating the tax agency´s practice of targeting conservative organizations. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., and Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the panel´s top Republican, gave the IRS a May 31 deadline to answer dozens of questions related to the special scrutiny the agency was giving to right-leaning groups seeking tax-exempt status. But the troubled IRS let the deadline go by.

I’m surprised the IRS gives a damn.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don’t think they give a damn. What’s the harm done? Obammie fired a temp director who was on his way out. Another director pleads the 5th. They ignore a Senate request for info. They have Obammie, Holder and the whole liberal regime in their hip pockets....

Face it. The IRS is untouchable. Good luck on some GOP congress critters trying to take them down. Ain’t gonna happen.

So, what are the consequences of missing the “Deadline”?

The deadline that passed was a "request". The next deadline is likely to be via a subpoena. They will face a judge if they fail to respond to that more formal request.

I’ve only seen it once, and I don’t remember it very well.

I should watch it again. I had a copy until recently. My life has changed a bit. My video collection went south...

I don’t think the Senate could count on Justice or any other department under Obama’s thumb to help put pressure on the IRS. I do not believe that the Senate has any “independent” resources to use.

Holder is holding his package on this IRS crime just like he did on the Wall Street banks and banksters and their behind the scenes rulers; the IRS is TOO big to fail and TOO big to prosecute. TOO big = SO corrupt it will exact deadly revenge on anyone who tries to hold it accountable.

perhaps congress should press forward into a flat tax system just for PERSONAL taxes.

The IRS the EPA, OSCHA, NHTSA, have all been weaponized.

Here’s a novel approach-hold the entire IRS in contempt of congress and lock up every damn employee until they get the info they want from them. Let’s see how they like their rights being taken from them for once.

Maybe a judge like the one that granted Holder’s “request” for wire taps pm James Rosen and his parents!

No problem. Sometimes all you can do is laugh and poke fun at this stuff. No use having a coronary over it. I learned that in the Clinton days. We know it’s wrong. We know it’s worthy of criminal charges, but what can we do about it? In a word, “NOTHING”.
