A federal judge Wednesday gave preliminary approval to a $3.5 million settlement of a lawsuit against the IRS over alleged targeting of tea party groups and other conservative organizations.
U.S. District Judge Michael Barrett set a July 10 hearing in Cincinnati on making the settlement final, and scheduled deadlines for claims and objections.
The Justice Department had announced last year that the case had been settled, pending approval of terms.
The lead plaintiff was the California-based Norcal Tea Party Patriots. The case swelled into a class-action suit by hundreds of groups. The court will decide how much each gets after legal costs.

——Sounds like good news.——
It is bad news.
The ruling in effect allows late fourth quarter fouls that permit the game to be won while the punishment is only fouling out.
Lois Lerner should be dead for her crimes against the Republic. She merely fouled out
The settlement shouldn’t be paid out of taxpayer funds, but by the various leftist groups associated with the Obamanation Administration which attacked them. Oh, and from Lois Lerner’s pension.
This was a community organizer operation from the get-go. It has all the earmarks as coming directly from the Jarrett/Oboy White House.
......about as relevant to IRS as buying a hand cranked pencil sharpener...........
Too little too late.
I want to see heads on pikes. Right after we use a blow torch and a pair of pliers on them.
Lot of good that will do to correct the bias introduced into the election.
The opposite under Obama would be settled through the DoJ for billions instead of millions.
Must be fake news. 0Bama assured us that there was “Not even a smidgen of corruption” in the IRS matter.
You get to spend your money for their crimes. That is good?
Money will come straight from the taxpayer. No criminal charges. It does not sound like great news to me. I want to see the individuals that were involved- pay a price.
Prison for DC _agents_ and _officials_ who have committed crimes, High crimes, sedition and Treason against USA and We The People. We The People, demand D.Criminals go to prison. All of them.
Who pays for that?
That needs to be increased by a factor of about 100.
Is there anything more egregious and un-American than using the heavy hand of the IRS for political purposes?
Hard time without parole for Lois and her cronies is called for.
Good point.
My guess is most groups will barely cover legal fees... 3.5 Million for the intentional corruption and misuse of a government agency... and sadly those responsible for doing it won’t pay a cent.
Except for who has to pay the fine ...
