Email Shows IRS Official Was Pretty Happy About Obama Publicly Singling Out Conservative "Secret

An email recently released by the House Oversight Committee shows IRS official Sarah Ingram was pretty excited about President Obama publicly speaking out against conservative groups with "secret donors." The email was sent from Ingram to Lois Lerner and others inside the tax agency after a glowing piece was published in the New York Times about the IRS and the trouble it was having with new tax exempt applicants and groups in light of the 2010 Citizen's United ruling.

"The 'secret donor' theme will continue -- see Obama salvo and today's Diane Reeham (sp). At least SS started the idea that we don't have the law to do something," the email reads.

Partisan politics in any government office that serves everyone should be an IMMEDIATE CAUSE FOR TERMINATION

[Ray76]

Do you prefer a particular form of termination? Needle, hanging, firing squad, and so forth?

This morning Dennis Prager ws talking about how we are becoming like a banana republic. An Authoritarian minded government that targets the political opposition.
Think of Obama is the General Garcia of the original "In-Laws" (Peter Falk Alan Arkin) with, of course, "Senor Pepe"

BigEdLB, thank you for posting this. Anyone know who SS might be?

Soon we will be terminating Sharia style.

Anyone know who SS might be?

"Social Security" is my instinct.

That’s one of my favorite movies. “Serpentine, Shelly, serpentine!”

Of course, the paint sprayer scene is a classic, too.

It’s not illegal to be happy or unhappy with anything. This thing has got a limited amount of time to get serious, attain traction, and ratchet up. And every day that goes by with prosecutorial incompetence hastens the day when this whole thing collapses into a steaming pile of smelly nothing.

[blueplum]

oh, I’m sure she was excited about changing the narrative, considering the news of the day (since 2008) was this:

It was one of the funniest movies. The remake was very pedestrian in comparison.

Obama should be careful about calling out “secret donors” — he has so many unidentified donors, many of whom are probably not citizens. That was another computer glitch - the software forgot to collect country of origin on the donations.

I suspect that the “incompetent” in the Shite House and his minions are far more computer-savvy than they let on.

[afraidfortherepublic]

The remake was a big yawn.

The New York Times article referred to in the email is linked below. The "SS" in the email is Stephanie Strom, a co-writer of the Times article. Also mentioned in the email is "Marcus" who is referred to in the article:

The I.R.S. division with oversight of tax-exempt organizations “is understaffed, underfunded and operating under a tax system designed to collect taxes, not as a regulatory mechanism,” said Marcus S. Owens, a lawyer who once led that unit and now works for Caplin & Drysdale, a law firm popular with liberals seeking to set up nonprofit groups.

Donor Names Remain Secret as Rules Shift

The email clearly shows the IRS had a real cozy relationship with the leftist media and liberal political activists.

If the MSM ever wants to criticize a Republican President it had better step up these last 2.5 years!!

smoothsailing - Thank you for your reply, and the link. I think you are correct. The NYT article was published one day before the email.

Thank you for your service to our country.

Time to eliminate the IRS all together.

Representative Apportionment:
1) Congress votes on how much money to raise via taxes

2) Determine the per Senator monthly bill to each state:
a. Divide the total amount in #1 by 200 (divide the number in halve and then divide by the number of US Senators)
b. Divide the result by 12. This becomes the per Senator per month bill

3) Determine the per Representative monthly bill
a. Divide by 2 (Representative half)
b. Divide by the number of representatives (435)
c. Divide by 12 for the monthly amount
d. For each state, multiply that amount by the number of representatives.

4) Add the monthly Senator amount to item 3D for the total amount to bill the State.

5) State gets to raise the money however it feels best. No expenditures will be allowed for any state expenses until the monthly Federal bill is paid.
