Conservative group amends IRS lawsuit
washington post ^ | 7/22/13 | Juliet Eilperin

A conservative group suing the Internal Revenue Service on Monday amended its lawsuit over the agency’s processing of its request for tax-exempt status to include the agency’s chief counsel, William Wilkins.

Acting on behalf of True the Vote , a Houston-based voter watchdog group, the ActRight Legal Foundation first asked the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in late May to grant its request for tax-exempt status and award damages for what it described as unlawful conduct by the IRS.

Last week, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) released a transcript in which an IRS employee said Wilkins helped develop its controversial guidelines for reviewing tax-exempt applications the agency dubbed “tea party” cases. The IRS said last week that Wilkins, one of only two IRS officials appointed by the president, was never involved in the process.

If it’s unlawful conduct, shouldn’t people be going to jail?

Hang EVERY G-damn one of them. Right after a public stoning!

For what? Doing what the administration asked them to do?

Who is going to prosecute them?

“Who is going to prosecute them?”

Prosecutions are not required for stonings or hangings...

They need to ammend again and add a RICO action.

There is a provision to have a RICO action in a civil dispute.

The DOJ isn’t required to have a Civil action.

We all know the king rat was behind every bit of this.
Anyone who thinks otherwise and believes the IRS denials is just a complete tool.

No one will ever go to jail over this.
Maybe some people will lose their jobs just to make appearances but then they'll just turn up somewhere else with cushy jobs involving 'democrat' politics. All provided they continue to deflect and protect the king rat.

What’s the statute of limitations? IF Holder does not charge these people then the next administration should charge these people AND charge Eric Holder and his top lieutenants (for RICO violations) in not prosecuting them.
