EMAILS: DEM SEN LEVIN PRESSURED IRS TO TARGET CONSERVATIVE GROUPS
Breitbart ^ | May 14, 2014

Posted on 05/14/2014 9:36:13 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Contrary to the White Houses explanation that a few rogue agents in Cincinnati lead the targeting of Tea Party groups by the IRS, newly released emails obtained by Judicial Watch detail Democratic Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) pressuring the IRS to target conservative groups. On March 30, 2012 Levin wrote to then IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman about his concern with the political activity by conservative nonprofits.

“Some entities claiming tax-exempt status as social welfare organizations under 26 U.S.C.&501(c)(4) appear to be engaged in political activities more appropriate for political organizations claiming tax-exempt status under 26 U.S.C.&527. Because of the urgency of the issues involved in this matter, please provide the following information by April 20, 2012.”

Retirement can't absolve Levin or Schumer. Let's hope it's the rule of law that takes them both down and not mobs.

If anyone knows anyone at Judicial Watch, let me know. I need someone to do a FOIA who knows what they are doing.

Schumer may have called off the SEC dogs investigating Madoff according to a book by Harry Markopolos “No one would Listen”. Ethics? There are no ethics.

Thanks for the info. I wasn’t meaning to imply any predictions about the outcome of that race, just suggesting that investigating Levin’s staff might be productive.

It's not only the number of staff, but how much they're getting paid.

I'd like to see the individual salaries including benefits of Levin's staff of brown shirts...and if anyone can dig this info up you're a genius.

My local paper is filled everyday of people going to jail for not paying taxes and all sorts of minor crimes that these bastards get away with. Makes me so mad.

Really urgent, that was. They were claiming tax exempt status under the wrong section. Allow that, and you’re going down a slippery slope. Yup. Audit everyone./s

He’s 80. An ass clown at 80. With an entourage who will escape him as soon as he leaves power. Talk about alone. His thrill will be the friendly girl selling him fudge on Mackinaw Island. What a pathetic way to wither.
