IRS Commissioner John Koskinen referred congressional charges of corrupt Clinton Foundation pay-to-play activities to his tax agencys exempt operations office for investigation, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
The request to investigate the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation on charges of public corruption was made in a July 15 letter by 64 House Republicans to the IRS, FBI and Federal Trade Commission (FTC). They charged the foundation is lawless.
The initiative is being led by Rep. Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican who serves as the vice chairwoman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which oversees FTC. The FTC regulates public charities alongside the IRS.
The lawmakers charged the Clinton Foundation is a lawless pay-to-play enterprise that has been operating under a cloak of philanthropy for years and should be investigated.
Koskinens July 22 reply came only a week after the House Republicans contacted the tax agency. It arrived to their offices Monday, the first opening day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
We have forwarded the information you have submitted to our Exempt Organizations Program in Dallas, Koskinen told the Republicans.
The Exempt Organization Program is the division of the IRS that regulates the operations of public foundations and charities. Its the same division that was led by former IRS official Lois Lerner when hundreds of conservative, evangelical and tea party non-profit applicants were illegally targeted and harassed by tax officials.
Blackburn told TheDCNF she believes the IRS has a double standard because, they would go after conservative groups and religious groups and organizations, but they wouldnt be looking at the Clinton Foundation for years. It was as if they choose who they are going to audit and question. Its not right.

It appears somebody has been reading Clinton Cash. All this and much, much more is exposed in that book and movie. Full litigation of all the illegalities detailed in that book would take years.
I suggest we take the "easiest to prove," and vigorously attack the Clintons. They are both senior citizens. After they are charged and sentenced, we can go on to other stuff, like Huma Abedin.
Watch "Hillary Clinton: A Career Criminal" on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/kypl1MYuKDY (19.46 min)
We know what the outcome will be while Obama runs the show.Remember how they covered for Lois Lerner.
The following is for the clowns starting this bogus investigation:
An IRS investigation of the Clinton Foundation.
We all know what that means.
From now until the end of the investigation any questions to the IRS regarding the Clinton Foundation will be with the following canned answer , I’m sorry, but we are unable to comment at this time due the existence of on going investigation and all FOIA requests will denied for similar reasons.
The IRS spokes person will refer reporters to direct any specific questions directly to the Clinton Foundation
The Clinton Campaign will if course call the investigation a politically motivated witch hunt by the vast right wing conspiracy that hates strong women and wants to prevent Hillary from breaking through the glass ceiling so she can do all sorts of really, really wonderful things, all for the children, of course.
They will also try to somehow deflect the blame blame Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin
For their part, the Clinton campaign spokesman and Hillary herself cannot take questions or comment on any specifics regarding Clinton Foundation corruption due to an ongoing investigation and will refer the reporter to the IRS to ask any question regarding the investigation ( see above).
It’s the same old Clinton scandal cover up shuck and jive we have been treated to for the last 25 years.
The Clinton’s have this signature scandal management play from their damage control playbook copyrighted.
Pure theater. And bad theater at that.
oh yea I have so much faith in the IRS after how they have acted in the last few years.
NOT
Yes, but the crimes committed by Killary are far, far worse since they involve national security.
I'll be happy if she gets a 15-20 year sentence.
TY, Obama, you have transformed this country into a Banana Republic in less than eight years.
Madame Obama, I have never been so ashamed of this country in my adult life.
I'm with you Liz - covering up bigger crimes... nothing else makes sense.
The official statement exonerating the foundation has already been written.
Sounds like an evidence cleanup operation to impede the next administration’s efforts.
Good luck getting any of this to stick before the inauguration.
Expect more missing Clinton foundation emails.
Calling Vladimir Putin. Do you have any Clinton Foundation emails? If so, send COD to IRS, FTC, Elijah Cummings, and God.
Mossad is who to call for hacked stuff
they leave no trace behind
This is why the dems are betting their lives on a hillary win.
Nothing more than a clearing house to gather and get rid of evidence. Every government organization works for Obama.
yup...
