Embattled Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner and an attorney in the Federal Election Commissions general counsels office appear to have twice colluded to influence the record before the FECs vote in the case of a conservative non-profit organization, according to e-mails unearthed by the House Ways and Means Committee and obtained exclusively by National Review Online. The correspondence suggests the discrimination of conservative groups extended beyond the IRS and into the FEC, where an attorney from the agencys enforcement division in at least one case sought and received tax information about the status of a conservative group, the American Future Fund, before recommending that the commission prosecute it for violations of campaign-finance law.
Dems appointed by the Obama admin targeted conservative groups. Not sure that's even up for debate anymore
you are seriously able to practice law?
Light will be replaced by Cindy Thomas, a 35-year IRS veteran who ran the Exempt Organizations office in Cincinnati throughout the 2-year period that conservative groups were targeted. Cindy brings a strong background in EO Determinations and the history of the organization, Corbin told employees. And, since she is located in Cincinnati, she will provide a voice for the process and challenges faced in determinations work. Thomass promotion will not be without controversy, given that, in November of last year, she signed off on the illegal release to the left-leaning ProPublica, of nine pending, confidential applications for tax exemption filed by conservative groups. One of those organizations, the Colorad-based Citizens Awareness Project, yesterday filed a federal lawsuit against the IRS over the release of its application.
