A nonprofit group hopes to award a $1 million bounty to anyone who can provide “smoking gun” evidence to implicate IRS leadership or members of the Obama administration who purposefully targeted conservative and tea party-affiliated groups, TheBlaze has learned.

Gregg Phillips, the managing director for The Voters Trust, a political nonprofit 501 (c)(4) which was established to identify and mobilize Americans, told TheBlaze on Wednesday “that this is the people’s bounty to seek the truth.”

Catherine Engelbrecht, president of the nonprofit group True the Vote, will be officially announcing the bounty Wednesday night on Megyn Kelly’s Fox News show, “The Kelly File” at 9 p.m. ET.

To qualify for the bounty, the person needs to provide “relevant evidence including emails, eye-witness accounts, or testimony of political targeting of Americans by the IRS or the Obama administration that has not previously been reported,” according to an official press release from the group obtained by TheBlaze.

I checked and didn't see it posted already.

1 Million before tax?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

One million or their government taxpayer job where they get bonuses for doing nothing and can be late filing taxes. How much do IRS brown shirts make anyway? Hell I would take that million. But on the other hand the IRS brown shirts would come after whoever it is, treat him or her like a traitor and do everything they could to steal that million in taxes and fines and whatever other BS they could come up with.

>>1 Million before tax?<<

Before tax.

The recipient will net 57 cents.

Elijah Cummings will be outraged by this racist attack.

Yeah, but between the potential for Whistle Blower lawsuits, $1mil and the opportunity to speak on the networks for cash...not to mention going down in history as a genuinely good guy, SOMEBODY who knows something big is going to come forward.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

LOL!!

[Mariner]

Or, the DOJ will come forward and announce they will prosecute anyone who comes forward since they didn't come forward and report it when they first became aware.

Conspiracy after the fact and failure to report a felony.

[Daffynition]

So this is what it has come down to....when journalism has gone a muck.....this will lead to no good.

[virgil]

Relatively small bounty compared to the settlements that some whistleblowers have been awarded for ratting on their employers for wrong doing.

[Mariner]

"this will lead to no good"

Why?

[fso301]

$1 million isn’t enough. At a minimum, an amount which after tax invested at the risk free rate will cover the person’s salary is what is required... at a minimum.

[Mariner]

Maybe the Koch Brothers will donate $20mil.

[Chode]

sad thing is, i'll be fatter than Cartman before anybody in fagboy's administration ever goes to jail...

Can’t spend a million bucks in Fort Marcy Park

My question would be, What More Evidence Do You Need.

I would look at the sql queries against the NSA phone records, say a year of so, before the election. See if there are any matches to Tea Party numbers. That list could have been passed to the IRS. They send out a few letters and we have conservatives calling their tax attorneys instead of organizing political rallies.

[Licensed-To-Carry]

Because nobody will do anything about it, so what, laws and the constitution are meaningless now.
