So she took aim at political enemies, abused the IRS, used her dog's name for email to hide it, destroyed her hard drive.

Got help from the IRS in destroying tape backups.

And Loretta Lynch's Dept of "Justice" says everything is jim dandy.

Poor management is not a criminal offense...ya dummie!

Now the civil lawsuits begin, the DOJ and Obama can't protect Lerner from them

Apparently the right wing hasn't hit rock bottom yet.

Now they are going to sue some nobody government bureaucrat...

:lol:

[johnforbes]

Elkin, stop a second and think.

If a Republican were president, and Repubs in the IRS were pursuing their political enemies, how would you like that?

You would be enraged and you know it.

That is how dictatorships work, where the agencies of govt go after political enemies.

[Intrepid]

Elkindoofus is so stupid he can't make that intellectual connection. Like most people of low intelligence he is stuck in the here and now. Plus, his libtard web site hasn't told him what he thinks about the matter yet.

[tvd]

In the future...when Elk wants to start his own tax exempt organization....as he surely will :lol: :lol: ,
and the government at the time shuts him down like Lerner et.al. did to conservative applicants,

watch him scream and cry.

Then it will be wrong, eh Elk?

[Clownkicker]

None of those conservative applications were 'shut down' or denied.

They were looked into, as all of them should be looked into.

You're making it up.

[sillydaddy]

Poor management is not a criminal offense.. Elk

But when Obama and Hillary do it..it's down right fatal.

Fucking pathetic liar...

Now IRS audits are considered to be "shutdowns" according to TVD.

That is pure BS. They were reviewed endlessly effectively shutting them down. There were also numerous individuals who were involved in these conservative groups who found themselves personally audited. I saw an interview with one lady who said she had been audited 3 times since filing for tax exempt status for her group. Prior to filing she had never been audited, and that when the audits occurred the auditor could find nothing wrong with her filings to warrant an audit and apologized for the inconvenience.

You wrote: "They were looked into, as all of them should be looked into."
I agree but can you possibly explain why less than 5% as many liberal groups were reviewed? And why were all of those groups were reviewed in a timely manner and approved?

If this supposedly happened over three or four years ("audited 3 times"), then you're talking about a different case than the single election-year investigations we've been talking about.
As it is, none of the applications received that year were denied status, and they clearly weren't "reviewed endlessly" because they were all granted that year.

"I agree but can you possibly explain why less than 5% as many liberal groups were reviewed? And why were all of those groups were reviewed in a timely manner and approved?"-Faceman

Because the Republicans have gutted the funding for the IRS agents over the past 25 years.
Republicans hate the IRS because it keeps catching rich tax evaders---that is, Republican donors.

Now, if you have a problem with following the letter of the law with one group just because another group is not so intensely looked at, then maybe we need more agents.
When you have extremely limited resources, you apply them where the most likely fraud might be.
And yes, I'm sure partisanship had something to do with it. But if it's a legal investigation, the "why me and not them?" argument doesn't really fly.

[johnforbes]

Limited resources had nothing to do with this.

The IRS ADMITTED ITS OWN WRONGDOING IN TARGETING TEA PARTY GROUPS.

PURE LIBERAL BS

If they had 3 times the the number of agents working on this then they would have harassed 3 times as many conservative groups because THIS WAS TARGETING!!!

If this was the IRS under a Republican admin was doing this to liberal groups prior to an election for the purpose of effecting the outcome of an election, you would be screaming your lungs out.
