Agency will not commit to a timeframe to make the documents public.
The Internal Revenue Service has located 6,924 documents potentially related to the targeting of Tea Party conservatives, two years after the group Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit for them.
The watchdog group intended to find records regarding how the IRS selected individuals and organizations for audits that were requesting nonprofit tax status.
The agency will not say when it will make the documents available to the public.
"At this time, the Service is unable to provide an estimate regarding when it will complete its review of the potentially responsive documents," the agency said. "The Service will begin producing any non-exempt, responsive documents by March 10, 2017, and, if necessary, continue to produce non-responsive records on a bi-weekly basis."
Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, is calling on President Trump to clean house at the agency.
"The corruption at the IRS is astounding," Fitton said in a statement. "Our attorneys knew that there were more records to be searched but the Obama IRS ignored this issue for years. President Trump needs to clean house at the IRS as quickly as possible."
Unexpected
Please, mr. President, PLEASE move on this.
Trump really wants to drain the swamp? Privatize the IRS.
Even if it is only a droplet at a time.
My liberal family members do not believe the IRS targeted Tea Party orgs...
You just can’t fix stupid or blindness...
Hopefully Sessions will address this at sometime...
TOTALLY unexpected, huh?
The only surprising thing here is the documents still exist. Democrat hacks are slipping.
I’m waiting for his tax reform initiative.
I’d love to see the Fair Tax pretty much replace the IRS. Probably won’t happen, but the IRS is the American Gestapo. Very bad news. Everyone is scared of them. It shouldn’t be that way.
All Trump needs to do is sign an Ex. Order stating that ALL IRS personel will fully comply with ALL FOIA requests pertaining to the Tea Party/Conservative Group targeting.
All requests will be completed no later that April 14th, 2017.
Any Employee, temp. worker or contractor that Fails to do so will be terminated for Just Cause and failure to follow U.S. Law.
Go get that Lyin Crooker B**** Lerner
Wipe that condescending smirk off her face
Her successor too, forgot his name....get his *** also
LONG overdue.
They need to go after Lerner. Using the IRS against the Tea Party is just about as bad as Benghazi, and Obama says his admin had no scandals. How about F and F.
RAID the effin place and seize them NOW and all relevant employees!!! Good Grief!!
A single tax bracket with a high and constant per person exemption and only charitable giving and cost of business deductions would go a long, long way towards that.
We’d survive the mini recession from all of the out of work tax preparers.
Clearly you have fools in your family like I do in my family!
Also, Trump’s tax documents should be seized and locked away. Any exposure after such action will be investigated and scumbags sent to prison.
Wouldn’t surprise me if there are many federal employees in various agencies that have big fat “Pearl Harbor” files that they’ve been adding to over the last 8 years.
“RAID the effin place and seize them NOW...”
No kidding! This really needs to be done immediately. The longer the crooks in the IRS are allowed to get away with crap like this, the stronger they become, and more and more honest people lose faith in our nation’s judicial system, and even our government itself. Meanwhile, the socialists trying to take over our nation laugh and gloat!
She's still laughing at you and me while enjoying her $102,600 per year government pension paid for by you....for the rest of her life.
How many years have you made $102,600 per year working full time? (She's laughing, laughing, laughing)
