documents from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)... confirm that the IRS used donor lists to tax-exempt organizations to target those donors for audits.

The documents also show IRS officials specifically highlighted how the U.S. Chamber of Commerce may come under “high scrutiny” from the IRS. The IRS produced the records in a Freedom of Information lawsuit seeking documents about selection of individuals for audit-based application information on donor lists submitted by Tea Party and other 501(c)(4) tax-exempt organizations....

Lois Lerner, who has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, is mentioned four times in the report...

In 2009, Barack Obama “joked” about having the IRS audit his enemies.

Didn’t the KGB and the Gestapo do things like this? Wow, the ruling party is moving so far away from what the United States used to stand for. Fascism seems to be taking hold in the Democrat Party now

This is why Lois Lerner has not been forthcoming. She very well knows she was under orders from White House senior advisor Valerie Jarrett—with complete approval by President Obama—to do this.

From what I understand, McCain was in on it, too.

Criminals Cummings and Issa rewarded the IRS
(and McCain who began it) for this TREASON
and odious practice.

Gowdy has continued the coverup.

Even Nixon had the decency to admit and resign.

The GOP involved, and Obama, ALL belong in jail.

This is what happens when there is no opposition party and the watchdog media has been hopelessly compromised.

"Don't ever tell them how the two of us bled ourselves
to get the IRS to go after conservatives
... and then got Issa and Cummings to cover it up."

Everyone involved in this needs to go to prison.

I have no doubt that when the next President starts pulling strings, they will lead directly to Obama. I hope he has the guts to put that Affirmative Action Criminal and all his cronies in Prison where they belong.
