ACLJ Forces IRS to Comply with the Law in Major Federal Lawsuit

The ACLJ has secured an important victory in our Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) case against the IRS on behalf of Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire. After a year of litigation, which followed over four months of waiting for the IRS to respond to its FOIA request, we finally succeeded in compelling the IRS to comply with its obligations under federal law.

As we have previously written, Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire issued a FOIA request to the IRS in June 2014 seeking communications between two New Hampshire legislators and certain IRS officials, including Lois Lerner, the IRS's Exempt Organizations Director who was at the center of the IRS Tea Party targeting scandal. Rather than search for and provide responsive documents within the statutory time period, the IRS sat on the request for months as the November 2014 elections approached. This delay blatantly flouted the very purpose of the Freedom of Information Act, as it prevented Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire from knowing whether these legislators had engaged in any communications with the IRS in which the New Hampshire public might be interested--and, if so, disseminating that information to voters prior to the November elections.

In order to get a response from the IRS,....

The left, which controls the machinations of government, has made a habit of confounding FOIA. Unless Congress makes the individual government employee personally liable for such frustration, nothing will change, as there is no price to pay for inaction and delay. Bad actors should be dismissed with a prohibition on future government employment. They should also be made to defend themselves in court in any action by the frustrated FOIA-seeking organization.

As I've said before - Lois Lerner committed MULTIPLE felonies - and EVERYBODY at the IRS who has an IQ above double digits knows it.

Therefore, they're ALL accessories after the fact, and also are all obstructing justice, like the US Department of Justice.

You can’t fire these people .. THE UNIONS ARE PROTECTING THEM. That’s why there is no accountability.

THIS IS WHY WE MUST GET RID OF UNIONS OPERATING WITHIN OUR GOVERNMENT.

WHEN ARE PEOPLE GOING TO GET IT ..???????

Any candidate open this big, big can of worms? The unions and having so many departments under one big tent make corruption inevitable and rarely beatable.

Especially within the Dept of Injustice...

And .. all the “government” unions are major donors to the DemocRAT party .. which makes it even harder for conservatives to get elected .. WHICH IS THE GOAL.

THIS NEEDS TO BE STOPPED ..!!!!! NOW ..!!!!!
