Scandal: The Internal Revenue Service admits it broke the law after an organization whose private tax data are illegally shared with an ideological competitor wins its lawsuit. So who is going to prison for this federal crime?
If IRS Commissioner John Koskinen wants to know which criminal statutes have been broken, he might try reading about one in the morning newspapers, the same place President Obama gets his information about the "phony scandal" du jour.
The National Organization for Marriage has been awarded a $50,000 settlement from the IRS after the agency admitted wrongdoing in leaking the organization's 2008 tax return and the names and contact information of major donors. The information was forwarded from the IRS to the pro-gay marriage group Human Rights Campaign. That group then posted the data on its website during the 2012 presidential campaign. Unauthorized dissemination of such information is a felony.

Good luck with that...
Believe me, every Congress critter LOVES the IRS...even if they say they don't
You think they will get rid of their taxpayer Gestapo...
Not likely...
Before they give Lerner immunity, I hope they announce it first, so someone else or other crooks will come forward in hopes of saving their own asses, before she turns on them.
First to squeal gets the deal....
No honor amongst thieves.
When violence is covert, legal, and approved by a majority, it is more deadly by reason of its disguises. It works stealthily to increase friction in society and to erode and corrupt social bonds. The shadow lengthens, political intervention and control increases, men rely more and more on violence to gain their ends. We careen, unwittingly, toward the servile state. This eventually is not being forced upon us; we are doing it to ourselves, largely in ignorance of what it is we are really doing.

All the people that were harmed by any person involved in releasing private information should be “personally” sued. I understand their was a lot of property damage, as well as loss of livelihood and even physical harm.
The bankers are calling the shots. They own everybody.
PRISON for WHO-DID-IT!! NOT OUR MONEY, but PRISON!!!
Lerner is NOT going to talk because she KNOWS that she is HOME FREE, protected by Obama and Holder, the “JUST US” Dept......she’s LAUGHING her Haughty Laugh over this.
Mr. Koskinen is a brilliant, intellectual, really-really tough Progressive genius who knows that there really isn’t even a smidgen of illegality at the IRS.

It’s just a little felony. What difference does it make?
As FReeper servantboy777 so aptly stated...
ABOLISH the IRS.
The government should never ever be allowed to abuse this power again.
and it just gets worse and worse
Kind of like she’s a little bit pregnant.
Is there anyone in our country he has not lied to?
I think Obama’s never lied to his brother in Kenya yet because he lives in a hut with no TV or internet.
