IRS: Mistakes Were Made

Judicial Watch has just released a new batch of documents forced out of the IRS that show the Obama administration’s scandalous misuse of the IRS to target Tea Party and other conservatives goes far deeper than realized.

Included in the new batch of documents is a February 2012 email from Lois Lerner, who was then head of the IRS’ Exempt Organizations Branch, asking that a special program be set up to “put together some training points to help [IRS staffers] understand the potential pitfalls” of revealing too much information to Congress. Amid the hundreds of released pages, Judicial Watch also found a remarkable Lerner email from 2013 in which she says she is willing to take the blame for not having provided sufficient direction to her underlings on how best to investigate the targeted groups, and then concedes that she “understands why the IRS criteria” leading to targeting of Tea Party groups and other opponents of President Obama “might raise questions.”

In May 2013, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) released an audit revealing the IRS had used “inappropriate criteria” to identify potential political cases. “Early in Calendar Year 2010,” TIGTA wrote, “the IRS began using inappropriate criteria to identify organizations applying for tax-exempt status to (e.g., lists of past and future donors).” The illegal IRS reviews continued for more than 18 months and, TIGTA reported, “delayed processing of targeted groups’ applications” preparing for the 2012 presidential election.”

I wonder if Obama will have the IRS help Hillary in a similar fashion.

"IRS: Mistakes Were Made"

Mistakes hurt people and are good grounds for agressive legal action!!!

[Fungi]

Thank you. A little more than my question asked for. Thank you!

[The_Media_never_lie]

They are quite simply above the law. If no one enforces the law, no law was broken.

Not the same rules as you or I would face.

[sport]

Mistake number one: We got caught. Nothing will happen to us though because we control the enforcement process.

If congress did prosecute, could Obama pardon them?

POINTS TO PONDER

<><> So where did Lerner got $$hundreds of thousands to pay high-price lawyers to protect her sorry behind?

<><> Mishandling of public funds maybe?....maybe bribes?...maybe paybacks?

<><><> Lois has lots of info Dems could use---maybe she sold info to the highest bidder?

<><><> Lerner once saved the *** of Cong Dickie Durbin (Dem-Ill)---maybe ol' Dick put in a line item in a budget bill that regularly spits out tax dollars to a secret numbered account offshore?

<><><> BOMBSHELL-- Lerner was angling for a job w/ Obamba's fund-raising giant---OFA-----did they kick in a few bucks? OFA needs intense scrutiny.....N-O-W.

<><><> Maybe the buck-raking Clintons' tax-exempt foundation was tapped for a (cough) grant?

<><> BOMBSHELL--- The House Oversight Committee recently released more emails that prove the IRS was feeding Dem Rep. Cummings with confidential tax information on the conservative voter-fraud prevention group "True the Vote."

BACKSTORY----OBAMA'S HALF-BROTHER LINKED TO MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
WND | Jerome R. Corsi / August 2013 / FR Posted by barmag25

NEW YORK – Malik, Pres Obama’s half-brother in Kenya could cause the White House more headaches over new evidence (1) linking Malik to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and, (2) establishing a controversial tax-exempt fast-tracked by then-IRS supervisor Lois Lerner.

Malik Obama’s duties as overseer of the Muslim Brotherhood’s international investments is one reason for the Obama administration’s support of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to an Egyptian report citing the vice president of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt...

====================================================

Malik's tax-free foundation----The Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF)---(named after their dad), was fast-tracked by Lois Lerner for IRS tax-exempt status.

The BHOF is based at a Virginia UPS store, according to its website. The organization’s IRS filings list another Virginia address that is actually a drug rehab center where the foundation does not appear ever to have been based.

As first reported by The Daily Caller, the foundation was speedily approved for IRS exemption by Lois Lerner, the self-same IRS senior official at the center of the targeting of conservative organizations that have waited over two years to receive tax exempt status. The IRS thoughtfully gave Obama Foundation retroactive fund-raising status.......which it stupidly never applied for.

The tax-exempt Barack H. Obama Foundation is run by Abon’go “Roy” Malik Obama, the half-brother of Barack Obama.

The foundation’s mission statement is “to provide people everywhere with resources to uplift their welfare and living standards in memory of dad---Barack H. Obama: in the region of his birth, Kenya, and beyond.” Its guiding principle is “the inherent belief that no one can truly enjoy the riches he has reaped if his neighbor suffers....."We seek to elevate the human condition so that everyone can live in dignity and truly enjoy having one another as neighbors.”

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

Despite raising more than $250,000, the alleged charity doesn’t seem to have done much. Its website claims the organization has built a madrassa and was building an imam’s house as well as some “proposed latrines,” but there is no other evidence that the nonprofit was working to “mitigate social-shortcomings in areas of education and literacy, health and well-being, poverty, and lack of community infrastructure in such basic needs such as water, electricity, shelter and sustenance,” as the site says.

Alton Ray Baysden, a former Dept of State employee, allegedly a registered Republican, who helped start the Barack H Obama foundation, declined to comment before seeing copies of a reporter’s passport and govt ID, along with a description of the article’s “motivation” and “slant.”

Repeated reporters' phone calls went to the organization’s voicemail and were not returned.

OBAMA GIVES 50 MILLION DOLLARS IN AID TO KENYA;
O'S KENYAN HALF-BROTHER READY TO CASH IN---
VIA THE TAX-EXEMPT "OBAMA FOUNDATION"?

The tax-exempt “charity” named for their absent Dad. Malik spends most of his time in Kenya with his 12 wives while Obama finances his half brother, Malik, a major fundraiser for the Muslim Bortherhood.

because it would force them to do something they have a direct aversion to and that is enforcing the law. enforcing the law and prosecuting anyone in washington dc seems to be the furthermost things from their mind all of them are in a perpetual reelection mode so that makes them unable to do their jobs effectively. they don’t care about the country especially if it means doing anything to protect their cushy jobs. that is the reason they want to take obama to court instead of standing up and bringing articles of impeachment against him. the constitution gives them every power they need to do what needs to be done but they refuse to do it due to their fear of not being voted back in. anyone of the bums that has served more than 2 terms should be gone period i don’t care how well anyone likes them after 2 terms they are getting to comfortable slopping it up at the public trough.

Off subject, but do you know of a link that would list Biden gaffes? I have to make a speech next week, and I need to add some humor to keep the people awake : )

[TADSLOS]

OBAMA CRIME INC. BTTT!!

[Nachum]

You know< I never made a file on it, but there is a heading on my site occasionally “Joltin’ Joe Biden”. If I walked through the chronological posts there is definitely comedy gold there.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Biden is my choice for America’s funniest comedian : )

Crimes were committed

[Billthedrill]

The illegal IRS reviews continued for more than 18 months and, TIGTA reported, “delayed processing of targeted groups’ applications” preparing for the 2012 presidential election.”

In other words, they didn't stop, they got what they wanted, and they got away with it.

[unixfox]

Mistakes were made starting in about 1913.

BINGO!

See tagline.
