Feds admit improper scrutiny of candidate, donor tax records, Justice declines to prosecute - Washington Times

The Treasury Department has admitted for the first time that confidential tax records of several political candidates and campaign donors were improperly scrutinized by government officials, but the Justice Department has declined to prosecute any of the cases.

Its investigators also are probing two allegations that the Internal Revenue Service “targeted for audit candidates for public office,” the Treasury’s inspector general for tax administration, J. Russell George, has privately told Sen. Chuck Grassley.

Agree. Will be interesting if they don't respond to the following...

Mr. Grassley has asked Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. to explain why the Justice Department chose not to prosecute any of the cases. The Iowa Republican told The Washington Times that the IRS “is required to act with neutrality and professionalism, not political bias.”

Former GOP Senate candidate Christine O

More than two years after her upstart Senate campaign rocked the Delaware political world, Christine O'Donnell got an unexpected contact from a U.S. Treasury Department agent warning that her private tax records may have been breached.

On March 9, 2010, the day she revealed her plan to run for the Senate in a press release, a tax lien was placed on a house purported to be hers and publicized. The problem was she no longer owned the house. The IRS eventually blamed the lien on a computer glitch and withdrew it.

Now Mr. Martel, a criminal investigator for the Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax administration, was telling her that an official in Delaware state government had improperly accessed her records on that very same day.

C'mon, Bham. LG says this is a ginned up, phony baloney, issue. Actually, it is a non issue. This pseudo- scandal only exists in the racist, homophobic, bigoted, angry, right wing, extremist, gun nut, white male demographic because our president is black.

Get with the program, bro.

More testimony points to Washington office involvement - focus on Tea Party specifically:

so when this guy was appointed in April 2009
"the White House announcement emphasized his expertise in "counselling non-profit organizations."

but when it came to actually doing that kind of work

Mr. Wilkins "is not involved" in the tax-exempt arena and didn't know about the issue until sometime this year.

I'm almost to the point of thinking they should just go ahead and give Lerner immunity and blow the lid off the whole thing.

These people make Nixon and Johnson look like amateurs.

Not so sure about that. The internet and 24 hour per day news gives us more insight about what is going on than we had a few short years ago.

Could you imagine having todays access during Nixon's years. The press would have eaten him alive, they give Obama a pass.

IMHO, LBJ = Obama in terms of corrupt. Two worst in the last 100 years.

I'll be curious to see how you twist, selectively comprehend, and performs leaps of logic to defend the administration if the testimony is damaging.

Off topic:
LG, will VN be as fun for you when the Vols begin dominating the Gators in football? I see a streak of multiple wins against UF in our near future.

The difference is that Nixon was personally part of Watergate.

They may very well be. Clinton and Reagan were no angels and I consider them the two best in my lifetime..

It appears each administration is more corrupt than the last.

Are they or is it because of the access we have today?

No, the only difference was Nixon got caught, turned in by a rat within his own administration.

Ok, well, get me some proof that Obama was personally involved in IRS screening criteria for tax exempt status-seekers and we can compare at that time.

LG will only except video proof of Obama screening Tea Party tax exempt forms himself, otherwise he'll keep saying show me the proof.

Hilarious.
