Cruz Letter: Why is the IRS Auditing Breitbart News?
Breitbart ^ | 9/9/14 | Breitbart News

WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, today sent the following letter to the Internal Revenue Service regarding its decision to audit Breitbart News Network, LLC.

The full text of the letter is available here.

Dear Commissioner Koskinen:

I write to express deep concern over the recent announcement by Breitbart News that the Internal Revenue Service recently notified the Breitbart News Network, LLC that it would be subject to a far-reaching, burdensome, and open-ended audit.

As you know, the Breitbart News Network LLC is a conservative-leaning press outlet. It has editors and reporters who cover daily political news and regularly breaks stories that are critical of the Obama Administration's policies. To conduct this audit, Breitbart News Network, LLC was asked to provide the IRS with all of its organizational documents, financial records, W-2s, W-4s, 1099s, and K-1s filed, personal income tax returns for each member of the company, payroll tax forms, information regarding properties and assets acquired by the company, bank statements, and array of other records documenting revenues, expenses, and depreciation costs.

Issa is the hundred millionaire tasked with doing NOTHING to the IRS and running a con game on the rubes in the “base”.

Maybe it wasn’t an accident that his staff got called.

I would bet half the democrats in the senate have Lois Lerner to thank for winning their senate seat. They’re probably all guilty and the last thing they want is for the truth to come out.

Breitbart News Network, a California-based entity

Another of one of the most conservative sites on the net...

I can't imagine why the IRS would target them...

Who knows, with technology anymore?

You will know your enemy’s position by their bodies on the floor.

Consider how outraged we Freepers have been the last 6 years and the info we have collected on our enemies of the Constitution and America.

Now imagine that rage and resources X 1000 with people whose jobs are to restore America.

The whole government got tainted by this piece of crap terrorist President. The gang has taken over.

Nazis packed Jews in cars, communists packed people into tiny room called communes barely better than gulags, the IRS is getting ready on its stuffing operation.
