Amen...Little worm is a great description for Levin.
“All roads lead to the White House. Bob Bauer, White House Counsel, got out of town before the sh*t hit the fan.”

Motive: Republicans began this investigation looking for a direct link between the White House and IRS targeting. The more probable explanation all along was that Ms. Lerner felt emboldened by Democratic attacks against conservative groups to do what came naturally to her. We know from the record that she disdained money in politics. And we know from her prior tenure at the Federal Election Commission that she had a particular animus against conservative organizations.
As the illuminating timeline accompanying the Camp letter shows, Ms. Lerner’s focus on shutting down Crossroads GPS came only after Obama adviser David Axelrod listed Crossroads among “front groups for foreign-controlled companies”; only after Senate Democrats Dick Durbin, Carl Levin, Chuck Schumer and others demanded the IRS investigate Crossroads; only after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee launched a website to “expose donors” of Crossroads; and only after Obama’s campaign lawyer, Bob Bauer, filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission about Crossroads.
The information in Mr. Camp’s letter shows that Ms. Lerner sprang to action following a January 2013 meeting with Democracy 21, a campaign-finance outfit petitioning for a crackdown on Crossroads and the liberal big-dollar Priorities USA. (She never touched Priorities, run by former Obama aides.) The Camp outline suggests cause and effect, and that’s new.

Sue them! Name names in lawsuit !
As always thanks for all your hard work on this stuff.
She fast-tracked the Obama "foundation"----foundations are known money laundering and tax evasion scams. The biggest scam is one foundation writing a check to another foundation---the MO to skim off and launder tax-free monies into offshore accounts.
Other n/p scams include fake accounting entries for "building improvements," PR, legal fees, accounting fees and the like. Plus putting fake employees on the payroll.

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...

The Malik Obama IRS filing exposes that Lois Lerner used govt offices to apparently aid and abet money laundering and tax evasion----and that, most egregiously, Lerner used govt offices to grant an alien resident, with documented ties to terrorist organizations---tax-exempt privileges that she denied to authentic Americans (based solely on the spurious fact that Americans run conservative organizations which are disliked by president Obama).
The alien resident,-Malik, who resides in Kenya---was granted Tax-exempt statust via a falsified 501 (c) (3) application. Malik Obama's workplace is located in the Sudan-- on file & listed on his own website.
Apparently the alien resident was granted tax exempt license as the modus operandi to collect US taxpayers dollars & funnel them overseas......also troubling are the alien's joint overseas investments.
===================================================
NOTE WELL: When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities. Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers.
To unsuspecting outsiders, it seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances. But the purpose of this complex architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff, and other entities, in order to avoid scrutiny.
=====================================
New revelations say Lerner illegally took possession of donor lists----and distributed the donor names to other IRS functionaries. The donors were then targeted for audits at an accelerated rate. Possession and distribution of IRS documents to unauthorized parties is a serious crime.
The RNC-connected "Freedom Path" claims in a lawsuit that the IRS illegally released its application to ProPublica, a New York-based investigative news organization.
F/P claims that ProPublica published the information with an article "suggesting that plaintiff (F/P) had engaged in illegal activities and/or misstated its activities on tax documents."
The article was reposted on other media outlets, including The Washington Post and The Salt Lake Tribune, the complaint states.
All of the above are potential defendants. Possession and distribution of IRS documents to unauthorized parties is a serious crime.
Senate Democrats facing tough elections this year want the IRS to play a more aggressive role in regulating outside groups expected to spend millions of dollars on their races. In the wake of the IRS targeting scandal, the Democrats are publicly prodding the agency instead of lobbying them directly.
Dems are also careful to say the IRS should treat conservative and liberal groups equally, but they’re concerned about an impending tidal wave of attack ads funded by GOP-allied organizations. Much of the funding for those groups is secret, in contrast to the donations lawmakers collect, which must be reported publicly.
One of the most powerful groups is Americans for Prosperity, funded by the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch. It has already spent close to $30 million on ads attacking Democrats this election cycle. “If they’re claiming the tax relief, the tax benefit to be a nonprofit for social relief or social justice, then that’s what they should be doing,” said Sen. Mark Begich (D), who faces a competitive race in Alaska. “If it’s to give them cover so they can do political activity, that’s abusing the tax code. And either side."
<><><><>Asked if the IRS should play a more active role policing political advocacy by groups that claim to be focused on social welfare, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) responded, “Absolutely. Both on the left and the right,” she said. “As taxpayers, we should not be providing a write-off to groups to do political activity, and that’s exactly what we’re doing.”
Shaheen called the glut of political spending by self-described social welfare groups that qualify under section 501(c) (4) of the tax code “outrageous.” Shaheen is in a good position now but could find herself embroiled in a tight campaign if former Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass) challenges her.<><><><>
Sen. Mark Pryor (Ark.), the most vulnerable Democratic incumbent, said the IRS has jurisdiction over 501(c)(4) groups, as well as charities, which fall under section 5/01(c)(3) of the tax code and sometimes engage in quasi-political activity.
“That whole 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4) [issue], those are IRS numbers. It is inherently an internal revenue matter,” he said. “There are two things you don’t want in political money, in the fundraising world and expenditure world. You don’t want secret money, and you don’t want unlimited money, and that’s what we have now.” --SNIP-- -
