Contrary to the White Houses explanation that a few rogue agents in Cincinnati lead the targeting of Tea Party groups by the IRS, newly released emails obtained by Judicial Watch detail Democratic Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) pressuring the IRS to target conservative groups. On March 30, 2012 Levin wrote to then IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman about his concern with the political activity by conservative nonprofits.
“Some entities claiming tax-exempt status as social welfare organizations under 26 U.S.C.&501(c)(4) appear to be engaged in political activities more appropriate for political organizations claiming tax-exempt status under 26 U.S.C.&527. Because of the urgency of the issues involved in this matter, please provide the following information by April 20, 2012.”

Right after that the IRS should be abolished. Our income tax system with it’s complex system of exemptions is virtually designed to be abused and politicized.

Schmuckie is involved in all the Dem shenanigans. They already have communications with him and Lerner about the same stuff. You may notice how they try to conflate (c) 3 and 4’s as a justification for their inquiry. 3’s cannot engage in political activity but 4’s are allowed to a simple minority ~49% of their overall activities. That was so designed by the Dems so their pet projects like MoveOn and all the other front groups could operate as they do with impunity.

Send Levin to Leavenworth. He’s earned it.

yeah, too bad, we have a GOP/E Congressional Ldrship, more interested in
loading up their (Bribery) pockets..than do what they're sworn to do.

Wow! Even on this site, there are less than 40 responses. Do we all know that this is going nowhere?
To: BuckeyeTexan
I was as surprised as that cat to see this, shocked I tell you, so shocked.
I’m so shocked I have a constant expression of surprise on my face.
We all knew this all along, the question is, what are people going to do about it?
