This goes to the top and we all know it.
I’m really sick of Carl Levin peering over those stupid glasses. He should be put down.
I certainly hope that neither the IRS (as an agency) nor any other federal agency or program will be picking up the tab (or reimbursing the perps) for the CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS that the whole range of corrupt, criminal IRS employees involved in this will be hiring.
Drip drip drip
JOHN BOEHNER passed the buck to ERIC HOLDER, he’ll get to the bottom of it.
Shocking?
Looks like Lois lane is in contempt...no wonder she clammed up!
the oligarchs fear not, especially they do not fear those who work for them. if justice is to be administered to their criminal minions in DC, it will require THE PEOPLE to get physically involved. Expecting the DC criminals to exact justice on their criminal colleagues is a waste of time, money and frankly, is foolish.
Former IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman visited the White House 118 times in 2010 and 2011, while his agents were targeting conservatives. Coincidence?
From one year ago today...

I hope that little worm Levin gets pounded for this.
I hope the GOP does NOT let this die. We already know msm is ignoring it
someone needs to shove their faces in this and force them to report
but who will?
I cannot understand why we have a legislative section of government.
If they don’t do their JOB, then why do we even have them..?
Hang em.
Senate Democrats facing tough elections this year want the IRS to play a more aggressive role in regulating outside groups expected to spend millions of dollars on their races. In the wake of the IRS targeting scandal, the Democrats are publicly prodding the agency instead of lobbying them directly.
Dems are also careful to say the IRS should treat conservative and liberal groups equally, but they’re concerned about an impending tidal wave of attack ads funded by GOP-allied organizations. Much of the funding for those groups is secret, in contrast to the donations lawmakers collect, which must be reported publicly.
One of the most powerful groups is Americans for Prosperity, funded by the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch. It has already spent close to $30 million on ads attacking Democrats this election cycle. “If they’re claiming the tax relief, the tax benefit to be a nonprofit for social relief or social justice, then that’s what they should be doing,” said Sen. Mark Begich (D), who faces a competitive race in Alaska. “If it’s to give them cover so they can do political activity, that’s abusing the tax code. And either side."
<><><><>Asked if the IRS should play a more active role policing political advocacy by groups that claim to be focused on social welfare, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) responded, “Absolutely. Both on the left and the right,” she said. “As taxpayers, we should not be providing a write-off to groups to do political activity, and that’s exactly what we’re doing.”
Shaheen called the glut of political spending by self-described social welfare groups that qualify under section 501(c) (4) of the tax code “outrageous.” Shaheen is in a good position now but could find herself embroiled in a tight campaign if former Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass) challenges her.<><><><>
Sen. Mark Pryor (Ark.), the most vulnerable Democratic incumbent, said the IRS has jurisdiction over 501(c)(4) groups, as well as charities, which fall under section 5/01(c)(3) of the tax code and sometimes engage in quasi-political activity.
“That whole 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4) [issue], those are IRS numbers. It is inherently an internal revenue matter,” he said. “There are two things you don’t want in political money, in the fundraising world and expenditure world. You don’t want secret money, and you don’t want unlimited money, and that’s what we have now.” --SNIP-- -
Not a “smidgen” of proof....
