Abuse Of Power: The IRS scandal seemingly has lain dormant now for months, all but forgotten amid the spate of recent anti-Trump media spasms, the ongoing violent antics of the antifa leftists and, now, Hurricane Harvey's devastation. But even if much of Washington has forgotten about it, a Washington judge hasn't.
As reported by the Washington Examiner, Judge Reggie B. Walton of the Washington, D.C., District Court last week revived legal attention to the scandal, telling the IRS it has to reveal the names of IRS employees who targeted conservative, libertarian and Tea Party groups.
But Walton didn't stop there. He also gave the IRS until Oct. 16 to find all the records in IRS databases from May 2009 to March 2015 that are relevant to the case and to explain just why these groups were targeted.
All of this is the result of a suit against the IRS brought in 2013 by True the Vote and 38 other groups. The groups have doggedly pursued the IRS for four years after the tax agency held up their tax-exempt status before and during the 2012 election year for what appear to be blatantly political reasons. In their search for justice, the groups have had little help from the mostly apathetic, left-leaning media that wish conservative groups would just go away.
Now, with Walton's order to the IRS, PJ Media's Rick Moran asks the provocative question: "Is the IRS Scandal about break wide open?"
The answer seems to be yes. And it's about time. This is one of the most serious abuses of power by a federal agency in decades.

Yeah, soon to be followed by a RICO indictment of the ANTIFA/Occupy Movement, their leader and organizer Barack/Benito Obama and their benefactor George/Adolf Soros.
Not holding my breath...
Trey Gowdy will be investigating this and we will get to the bottom of it really soon......
The stupidity in obtaining evidence from government agencies in this country drives me crazy!! You don’t ask the criminal to find incriminating evidence, you a$$holes!!!! You flood the departments with LEO, unannounced, and command/watch the employees do the work...or lockdown the whole database in some at to prevent ANY ERASURES!!!
What the heck is wrong with this administration that they are dragging their feet on this? Even when we win an election, we lose?
Even when we win, we lose. IRS director still in place? Conservatives swept from the administration? What’s going on?
Swamp drain,punching Deep State back and restoring the rule of law do not seem to be priority and I predict we will sit here after the first term and see status quo. Why these POS,scumbag,treasonous villains are still collecting a government paycheck,padding their pension and still holding enormous power is beyond me.
Jeff is focused on weed. Everything else is on the back burner. Meanwhile, sanctuary city mayors not enforcing US immigration laws and are providing food and shelter to illegal aliens. Jeff turns a blind eye while the invasion continues...
