THE PAPER TRAIL AND THE LIKELY SUSPECTS Besides the infamous Lois Lerner...... "In a July 2012 email, Holly Paz, then-director of IRS Rulings and Agreements division, asked IRS lawyer Steven Grodnitzky 'to let Cindy Thomas, the former director of the IRS Exempt Organizations office in Cincinnati, and Sharon Camarillo a senior manager in its Los Angeles office know how we have been handling Tea Party applications in the last few months.'"
======================================================
TALKING POINTS---One of the Articles of Impeachment drawn up against Richard Nixon was merely "threatening" to use the Internal Revenue Service to selectively audit political opponents.
OBAMA HAS WEAPONIZED THE IRS AGAINST POLITICAL OPPONENTS ordering multiple overt campaigns of intimidation, threats, and persecution of tea party/conservative organizations, and those daring to criticize Obama's agenda.
Conservatives are reduced to begging Holder's DOJ to investigate and prosecute.....and begging the IRS to play nice by releasing information implicating its own staff in wrongdoing and perhaps criminal violations. Seven vote-crazed Dumbocrat Senators paranoid about losing their seats demanded the IRS investigate conservative groups.
MARK WELL The IRS Conservative Targeting Scandal involves:
Hundreds of conservative groups targeted
At least 5 pro-Israel groups
Constitutional-centered groups
Groups that dared criticize the Obama administration
At least two pro-life groups
An 83 year-old Nazi concentration camp survivor
A 180 year-old Baptist paper
A Texas voting-rights group
A Hollywood conservative group targeted and harassed
Conservative activists and businesses
At least one conservative Hispanic group
SUMMATION The IRS continued to target groups even after the scandal was expose. And
100% of the 501(c)(4) Groups Audited by IRS Were Conservative There is NO EVIDENCE that a single liberal group went through the same scrutiny as conservative groups.
