In what seems like an age ago, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) became embroiled in scandal when it came to light that conservative non-profit groups were being targeted for intensive scrutiny and denied a timely review of their requests for 501 c (4) status.
The abuses began in 2010 and were uncovered in May 2013. The focus was primarily on groups related to the Tea Party and tax reform movements. At the time, President Barack Obama expressed fake outrage and wound up doing nothing about. The Department of Justice opened a criminal inquiry that ended in 2015 with no charges being brought.
Lois Lerner, head of the Exempt Organizations unit for the IRS, was the primary focus of the inquiry because of her expressed policy of targeting tea party groups. She retired from the agency will full benefits.
It was left to watchdog groups like Judicial Watch to keep the pressure on the IRS to come clean on its illegal activities. For years, it has sought various IRS records, including Lerner’s emails.
A July 13 Inspector General report on IRS record maintenance brought to light new abuses that have led Judicial Watch to seek a new inquiry by the DOJ.
Learn the extent of the IRS’s cover-up and what appears to be the destruction of government records. The disturbing story continues on the next page.

I remember when he was testifying before congress how arrogant he was. He may be IRS but that is an agency that still works for us.
They let the democrats slide on their taxes. That’s why she takes the fifth
Why is he still there, detain him at Gitmo for a couple of months or that he committed suicide w/ 2 shot to the head as he jumped over board on the way. LOL
Betty, yes to your comment, however, so many other tax issues. All encouraged by #44.
Dacia Johnson What?? What does her comment have to do with being a liberal? Her post is exactly right, that low life shouldn’t still have his job with the IRS. Sounds like you’re the one with the low IQ if you ask me.
Fire this Obama leftover
If I don’t pay my taxes they take everything I own. Makes me wonder why Sharpton is not in prison.
I have waited for this man to be fired months ago. Please fire this man.
