Bombshell: IRS Bashed 'Icky' Tea-Party Groups
New emails confirm targeting due to political bias
WND
WASHINGTON – Congressional investigators believe they have found a number of startling new smoking guns showing political bias against conservatives by the IRS.
One email shows an apparent collusion to deny a conservative organization tax-exempt status because the group gave an IRS employee an “icky feeling.”
Employee 1: “It appears that the org is funneling money to other orgs for political purposes. However, I’m not sure we can deny them because, technically, I don’t know that I can deny them simply for donating to another 501(c)(4). . . . Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated.”
Employee 2: “I think there may be a number of ways to deny them. Let me talk to Sharon [Light] tomorrow about it and get some ideas from her as well. . . . This sounds like a bad org. :/ . . . This org gives me an icky feeling.”
Evidence of bias such as the email exchange above was found by the House Oversight Committee in a treasure trove of material, following a review of 1.3 million pages of documents and 52 transcribed interviews with IRS, Treasury, and Justice Department employees.
A committee report concluded: “Conservative organizations were not just singled out because of their political beliefs — they were targeted by IRS officials and employees who expressed a general loathing toward them even while begrudgingly admitting that those organizations were in compliance with the only thing the IRS should care about: the federal tax code.”
“Documents and interviews show IRS officials failed to limit their professional judgments to enforcing the tax code and instead inserted their own beliefs and judgments into federal matters to influence outcomes and decisions.”
Another email from an IRS employee indicates discrimination against tea-party groups for their political beliefs, as they applied for 501(c)(4) tax exemptions:
