More than three years after it admitted to targeting tea party groups for intrusive scrutiny, the IRS has finally released a near-complete list of the organizations it snagged in a political dragnet.
The tax agency filed the list last month as part of a court case after a series of federal judges, fed up with what they said was the agency’s stonewalling, ordered it to get a move on. The case is a class-action lawsuit, so the list of names is critical to knowing the scope of those who would have a claim against the IRS.
But even as it answers some questions, the list raises others, including exactly when the targeting stopped, and how broadly the tax agency drew its net when it went after nonprofits for unusual scrutiny.
The government released names of 426 organizations. Another 40 were not released as part of the list because they had already opted out of being part of the class-action suit.
That total is much higher than the 298 groups the IRS‘ inspector general identified back in May 2013, when investigators first revealed the agency had been subjecting applications to long — potentially illegal — delays, and forcing them to answer intrusive questions about their activities. Tea party and conservative groups said they was the target of unusually heavy investigations and longer delays,
Edward D. Greim, the lawyer who’s pursuing the case on behalf of NorCal Tea Party Patriots and other members of the class, said the list also could have ballooned toward the end of the targeting as the IRS, once it knew it was being investigated, snagged more liberal groups in its operations to try to soften perceptions of political bias.

Maybe the Trump IRS..?
Nothing will happen.
The entire Federal government is a giant Rico conspiracy.
It is time to ABOLISH THE IRS!!!!
Bump!
So when will the list be made available? Once available, it will be interesting to find out which individuals who contributed to a conservative organization were audited by the IRS.
But there's something deeply satisfying about the thought of giving them the same treatment Pinochet gave to Allende's regime.
Probably because it would be richly deserved.
I wish I knew and looked for it before posting but came up empty.

And no one in the IRS is in jail.
Using the machinery of government to attack political opponents. Corruption of the worst kind.
...as the IRS, once it knew it was being investigated, snagged more liberal groups in its operations to try to soften perceptions of political bias.
Yes it is and if Hillary is elected it’ll continue big time, there’s no doubt about it.
The gutless GOPee is all talk, no action.
Hopefully, when Trump gets in, there will be not only firings, but arrests.
He deserves much worse than I.peachment. the theft of freedom by a public servant deserves death.
Drove by what was once Lawrence Marshall chrysler Gmc and was reminded of its unexpected sudden end along with many other Republican owned dealerships nation wide who bad their franchises ended in 2009. Anybody know or remember why? Who will pay for that crime? Nobody.
Please check out what Hellary did to a good man Billy Dale of the Travelgate scandal. Check out the whole video but on 5:15 of the video he explains that the IRS investigated him. This pizzed me off what she did do this decent man.
