IRS official who oversaw Cincinnati exempt operations office during scandal gets promotion
FOX News ^ | Aug 10, 2013

The IRS official in charge of the exempt organizations office in the Cincinnati branch at the time conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status were unfairly targeted just got a promotion.

Cindy Thomas has been appointed to the senior technical adviser team for the Director of Exempt Organizations. Thomas, a 35-year IRS veteran, will fill the spot vacated by Sharon Light. Light, a one-time close adviser to Lois Lerner, is the sixth senior IRS official to leave the agency.

Lerner is the employee at the center of the political storm that hit the nation earlier this year. She was the first IRS agent to publicly acknowledge wrongdoing. Light has “accepted a position with the American Cancer Society, leaving a critical vacancy in the Senior Technical Adviser team for the Director of Exempt Organizations,” Kenneth Corbin wrote in a morning email to his employees.

“Cindy brings a strong background in EO Determinations and the history of the organization,” Corbin added. “And, since she is located in Cincinnati, she will provide a voice for the process and challenges faced in determinations work.”

So. If ‘Cindy’ brings a “strong background in EO whatever” that means she’s black, right?

What is even worse than the crime is how brazenly unafraid the regime is of prosecution/retribution for their immoral unethical acts.

It's about time people realize that we are now under a Dictatorship accountable to no one. Congress or the legal system cannot fix this. Only the people can fix this, and not by complaining, calling or voting.

There is a reason 0bama turned up the heat of black anger against whites. He's entering a phase of doubling-down on Tyranny and needs protection from his people.

Promotion of the guilty.

It's the new normal American Way.

I trust Ms. Light doesn't think running off to the ACS will insulate her from a Congressional subpoena.

Just another way for the leftest government to show “We The People” have become powerless.

I guess they figure sooner or later “We The People” will just give up.

What do y’all think?

Of course. 0bama is giving us the one finger salute. He has nothing but scorn for normal people.

He has transformed the irs into the gestapo.

Just slap us right in the face. The regime is past the point of caring how any of this looks to average Americans.

Old habits are hard to break, but it really is high time that we patriots come to grips with the fact that our civil, constitutional systems, have been subverted beyond all recognition, and that we must now seek other avenues to restore our once great republic.
