The Obama administrations Treasury Department and former IRS official Lois Lerner conspired to draft new 501(c)(4) regulations to restrict the activity of conservative groups in a way that would not be disclosed publicly, according to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
The Treasury Department and Lerner started devising the new rules off-plan, meaning that their plans would not be published on the public schedule. They planned the new rules in 2012, while the IRS targeting of conservative groups was in full swing, and not after the scandal broke in order to clarify regulations as the administration has suggested.
The rules place would place much more stringent controls on what would be considered political activity by the IRS, effectively limiting the standard practices of a wide array of non-profit groups.
Dont know who in your organizations is keeping tabs on c4s, but since we mentioned potentially addressing them (off -plan) in 2013, Ive got my radar up and this seemed interesting
, Treasury official Ruth Madrigal wrote in a June 14, 2012 email to Lerner and others obtained by Ways and Means and provided to The Daily Caller.

Secret rules used to deny non-profit status to conservative groups but “not a smidgen of corruption”. We are only a step away from the IRS to claim that they can use secret evidence to convict.

Gee, really?
I’m sure Issa and his merry band of keystone kops will be right on this.
The committee chair revealed the irrelevancy of this by the statement that “I believe the IRS has a long way to go in restoring its credibility”
What? He just wants to restore the “Good Name” of the agency that any real Republican would want to snuff out of existence tomorrow morning?
Lame and Weak. And also irrelevant.
