E-mails Suggest Collusion Between FEC, IRS to Target Conservative Groups
National Review Online | July 31, 2013 | Eliana Johnson

Posted on 07/31/2013 9:36:19 AM PDT by Hotlanta Mike

Embattled Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner and an attorney in the Federal Election Commission’s general counsel’s office appear to have twice colluded to influence the record before the FEC’s vote in the case of a conservative non-profit organization, according to e-mails unearthed by the House Ways and Means Committee and obtained exclusively by National Review Online. The correspondence suggests the discrimination of conservative groups extended beyond the IRS and into the FEC, where an attorney from the agency’s enforcement division in at least one case sought and received tax information about the status of a conservative group, the American Future Fund, before recommending that the commission prosecute it for violations of campaign-finance law. Lerner, the former head of the IRS’s exempt-organizations division, worked at the FEC from 1986 to 1995, and was known for aggressive investigation of conservative groups during her tenure there, too.

Cutting a deal with Congress for immunity to nail Obama/Jarret might be the only thing that’s gonna save her from a prison term for illegally disclosing confidential tax records (felony 5 years).
