Outspoken Obama Classmate: The President Used the IRS to Punish Me Through 18-Month ‘Witch Hunt’

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/10/08/outspoken-obama-classmate-the-president-used-the-irs-to-punish-me-through-18-month-witch-hunt/

The problems started in January 2011, when Root, who claims to have a perfect tax record, was put through a surprise audit. At the time, he claims to have received a call from an IRS agent who said that he is a fan of Root and that it would be “an honor” to audit him — sentiments that struck the commentator as odd. The agent also told Root that he has read his political columns, listened to him on radio and visited his web site, and that he agrees with his politics.

“I found that very strange, actually chilling. It did not feel right. I got a sick feeling in pit of my stomach,” Root told WND in a recent interview. “Why would an IRS agent say such personal things? Why would he disclose that he’s a fan of mine and agrees with my politics? Isn’t that a conflict of interest?”

This all needs to be part of a huge class action lawsuit. Our civil rights have been violated, obviously and plainly, why can’t we all sue?

The whole truth is that pretty much all will be vindicated.

The purpose of the assault is not to uncover tax fraud. The purpose is to harass and disrupt.

There must be massive retribution. The IRS minions must be made to fear for their very lives.

I am the face of Team Obama’s IRS attacks

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2013/05/13/am-face-team-obama-irs-attacks/

We are dealing with a modern-day Nixon.

The IRS admitted Friday to targeting and intimidating conservative and Tea Party groups. But why? The answer: the IRS thought a quick apology and throwing a few “low level employees” under the bus could nip it in the bud and make it all go away.

They’re wrong. This will be one of the biggest scandals in U.S. political history — if the media does their job.

This IRS scandal is a threat to everything America stands for. It’s why we fought a revolution against King George. It’s one of the main ways the left brought down Richard Nixon — they accused Nixon of targeting political opponents with IRS attacks to intimidate and silence them.

These attacks were prominently included in Nixon’s “Articles of Impeachment” and should be in Obama’s too — if the media does their job.

How do I know?

Because I am the face of Obama’s IRS attacks. I am proof of how bad it is, when it started, that it was directed at individuals as well as groups, and that it did not involve only “low level IRS employees.”

It did not involve only “low level IRS employees.” It did not happen in only one year (2012). It does not involve one office in Cincinnati. It was a widespread attack (mine emanated from the Las Vegas IRS office). It goes to the top of the IRS, it started early in Obama’s presidency, and you can bet your last dollar that it was all conducted upon direct orders of the Obama White House.

Most importantly, I’m living proof it was directed at individuals — with the intent of ruining our lives. It almost ruined mine. This is important because the American public needs to see the faces of the targets. I have a wife and 4 children. I didn’t deserve this.

This man must go on national TV and tell his story. Much more interesting than Kardashian’s tuches or Jolie’s bristen.

Silence has insured and insulated Obama. Now that the corruption is bubbling to the top, silence and fear are what he counts on to continue to cover his outrageous thuggery.

Tax harassment was probably one of the most potent weapons used to suppress investigation of fraud and criminal activity by this wretched administration. Starting at the top.

“I feel like a million bucks"

He shouldn't have said that. IRS will want its share.

We should start calling this the “carrot and stick” scandal. Obama abused power in all his departments; IRS, EPA, TSA, FBI, etc. To reward friends and punish his perceived enemies.

he and a bunch of cronies need to see jail time.

forget the fear of “playing politics”. This is right vs. Wrong. criminal activity vs. Justice

IRS sued for stealing the medical records of 10 million Americans

(including medical records of all California state judges)

http://www.humanevents.com/2013/05/15/irs-sued-for-stealing-the-medical-records-of-10-million-americans/

The Internal Revenue Service is now facing a class action lawsuit over allegations that it improperly accessed and stole the health records of some 10 million Americans, including medical records of all California state judges.

According to a report by Courthousenews.com, an unnamed HIPAA-covered entity in California is suing the IRS, alleging that some 60 million medical records from 10 million patients were stolen by 15 IRS agents. The personal health information seized on March 11, 2011, included psychological counseling, gynecological counseling, sexual/drug treatment and other medical treatment data.

“This is an action involving the corruption and abuse of power by several Internal Revenue Service agents,” the complaint reads. “No search warrant authorized the seizure of these records; no subpoena authorized the seizure of these records; none of the 10,000,000 Americans were under any kind of known criminal or civil investigation and their medical records had no relevance whatsoever to the IRS search.

“IT personnel at the scene, a HIPPA facility warning on the building and the IT portion of the searched premises, and the company executives each warned the IRS agents of these privileged records,” it continued.
