An Important Legal Ruling Against the IRS May Have Huge Implications
PJ Media ^ | 04/21/2017 | Jeff Reynolds

Posted on 04/21/2017 8:16:26 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

In a major victory in the ongoing Lois Lerner scandal at the IRS, non-profit election integrity organization True the Vote defeated an IRS motion to quash discovery in True the Vote v. IRS. The ruling means that everyone involved in the scandal could be compelled to submit every document related to the case and be deposed by True the Vote's legal team.

From their press release:

Judge Reggie Walton of U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia just issued a critical order in True the Vote v. IRS case. The order compels the IRS to submit to discovery and depositions, giving True the Vote a long-awaited opportunity to expose the full scope of the discriminatory practices used by the Internal Revenue Service to target and abuse organizations and individuals who expressed political views in opposition to the Obama Administration.

In an exclusive interview, the lawyer representing True the Vote, Jim Bopp, Jr., cheered the ruling:

What we have now is an opportunity to find out who did what. The IRS has doggedly fought anyone finding out what happened and how it happened that they launched this comprehensive campaign to attack and undermine and adversely treat Tea Party and other conservative groups. We finally get an opportunity to find out.

Bopp says that the suit does not seek monetary damages:

What we want, of course, is an order by the court to prohibit the IRS from ever discriminating based upon political viewpoint of any organization in how they treat and deal with it. Conservative organizations were selected for adverse treatment by the Obama administration and the IRS.

I love True the Vote. They organized the transcription of the Gov Walker recall petitions. It is a wonderful tool exposing scum ball libs.

Would be nice to see everyone involved in the lies, hiding their collusion and corruption take the Aaron Hernandez way out...Hope this discovery includes the current IRS Commissioner as he lied as much or more than the IRS employees...

“”I love True the Vote.””

They had the greatest attorney at the hearings - she did a great job and has apparently been fighting on!

You’re right, Rome wasn’t built in a day but, if ever there was a job for Kushner it’d be going to each agency and finding out what they’re working on and telling them what to drop, immediately.
