‘Lay it on the line’: Judge in tea party case orders IRS to disclose employee names, reasons

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the IRS to name the specific employees the agency blames for targeting tea party groups for intrusive scrutiny and said the government must prove it has ceased the targeting.

Judge Reggie B. Walton also said the IRS must explain the reasons for the delays for 38 groups that are part of a lawsuit in the District of Columbia, where they are still looking for a full accounting of their treatment.

Judge Walton approved another round of limited discovery in the case and laid out six questions that the IRS must answer, including the employees’ names, why the groups were targeted and how the IRS has tried to prevent a repeat.

At a hearing earlier this week, Judge Walton said it was time to get everything on the table.

“Lay it on the line. Put it out there,” he told attorneys for the IRS, who are continuing to fight some tea party groups’ demands for full disclosure.

The Democrats used the US government against US citizens that voted different than them.

Think about that for a second.

How is that different than what’s been going on in Venezuela?

[jazusamo]

Exactly! You’re right on.

Lois Lerner was the ringleader, but she is enjoying her lavish retirement at our expense and won’t be bothered.

The ‘Deep State’ does not like this.

Judge Reggie B. Walton had better be very careful. Don’t be alone on the streets of D.C. nor alone in any parks or on any beaches.

“Dock her, and her retirement pay.”

Seriously? What she and her minions did requires a much more extreme punishment. It’s Federal prison for them.
