Full Title : New Documents Reveal Top Obama IRS Official Admitted Cincinnati Office Targeted Groups Based on ‘Guilt by Association’
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained 1593 pages of new documents from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), including notes from a 2011 interoffice meeting revealing a top IRS official admitted that Cincinnati office agents were targeting organizations requesting tax exempt status based on “guilt by association” and “party affiliation.” According to former IRS Director of the Office of Rulings and Agreements Holly Paz, “they think they know what the org is really doing, rather than looking at actual activities.”
The new documents came in response to a Judicial Watch October 2013 a Freedom of Information (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. Internal Revenue Service (No. 1:13-cv-01559)) against the IRS seeking the following: •All records related to the number of applications received or related to communications between the IRS and members of the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate regarding the review process for organizations applying for tax exempt status under 501(c)(4); •All records concerning communications between the IRS and the Executive Branch or any other government agency regarding the review process for organizations applying for tax exempt status under 501(c)(4); •Copies of any questionnaires and all records related to the preparation of questionnaires sent to organizations applying for 501(c)(4) tax exempt status. •All records related to Lois Lerner’s communication with other IRS employees, as well as government or private entity outside the IRS regarding the review and approval process for 501 (c)(4) applicant organizations.
Included in the newly obtained IRS documents were handwritten notes from an unidentified source at an interoffice meeting in the Washington headquarters, which apparently took place in or around August 2011.

Oh, this will be fun for a new attorney general.
Michelle Bachmann for IRS commish!
This is News?
OK—Something we already knew.
What happens next?
Revoke the tax exempt status of all of Soros’ hacks.
A new thread should be considered for the UNDER/OVER for 0bama's Pardons. I'd handicap it at 5,000.
Doesn’t some eastern European country want Soros for fomenting unrest?
Why aren’t Lerner, Coskinin, et. al. not in jail?

And what?
Independent prosecutor first day
Put them in prison!
Exactly. The Republicans have been screaming about Koskinen and he continues to head the IRS. God, they’re worthless.
It isn’t a crime or discrimination when Lefties do it...
maybe JW gets the IRS to re-visit this:
I think it's pretty clear that they're OK with suppressing tea party & conservative groups, especially if their fingerprints don't have to be on it.
Put them in a noose!
Oh NOW THAT sounds absolutely delicious to me REVOKE every damned tax exempt organization that SOROS has!!! I would LOVE to see this happen I mean LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!
OK...the crows gotta eat too....
The GOP has had a DEEP HATRED for the tea parties since the beginning, to think WE THE PEOPLE had the audacity to expect accountability from our representatives the GOP could have cared less that the IRS did this to tea party groups!!! After what they did to Trump we can ALL rest assured that they had NO INTENTION of holding the IRS responsible they were HAPPY the tea party groups were held at arms length!!! CORRUPT BASTARDS all of them!!!!
