“Lois was out trimming her rose bushes today, fully enjoying her massive government pension. *spit*”
As long as government workers are not held accountable the criminal behavior of the bureaucrats will continue and the few times the government, not the worker, is found guilty the taxpayer will pay the fine.
Such is justice in the court system today. Meanwhile the GOP Congress that was going to end the misbehavior continues to party with the K Street lobbyists and undermine the president.

One of the groups affected was the Western Slope Conservative Alliance here in Grand Junction. They ceased to exist years ago, partly because they couldn't get their IRS application processed. Who (if anyone) gets the money?

I filed my 2016 return Dec 27 2017.
It was on paper.
I believe the i.r.s. for unknown reasons is singling me out. Its now 9 months later and still no closure. All we get is the infamous 60 day letters. We need more time ... you will hear from us in 60 days. Been going on for NINE MONTHS.
Its like we are being punished because we did this ourselves. We didn’t hire any tax preparer.
Anybody else with this horrible treatment.

Great. Taxpayers pay for Obama’s crimes.

Exactly! The people in government responsible for wrongdoing never have to pay. Taxpayers get stuck with the bill. No wonder we have an imperial bureaucracy that rules us.

Maybe the court should require the federal employees involved to pay a percentage of the settlement.
To: upchuck
That’s not enough money... Tea party groups should have won more...

This settlement must repay the TEA Party groups for their legal expenses or this is not just.

Great analysis. I think you've nailed it.

The money didn’t come out of Lois’ retirement check, it’s coming out of the taxpayer’s pockets. How did the Tea Party get revenge against the IRS?

I will look for one. That statement about his making the suggestion was posted about a month ago.

I filed my 2016 return Dec 27 2017. Due date was April, 2017 not Decemeber, 2017.
It was on paper.
So was mine.
Anybody else with this horrible treatment.
I wouldn't know. I have never filed THAT late.
FReegards!

Doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t come out of Lerner and Koskinens’ hides.

Each one of these Tea party Groups will get less then a $1000 dollars when they likely had to pay a lot more then that to the IRS and to fight this.
The criminals get off Scot free and make 5X that per month from the government.
