The IRS Scandal, Day 399

IRS Logo 2Wall Street Journal:  FBI Returns Taxpayer Information It Got From IRS:

The FBI has returned a large database of taxpayer information it received from the IRS, amid an investigation into possible political targeting of conservative groups, the FBI's director said on Wednesday.

Testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, James Comey said FBI investigators didn't examine the database, which included private taxpayer information that isn't supposed to be shared without a judge's order. "The only thing that was done, (was) analysts looked at the table of contents,'' Mr. Comey said.

In January, The Wall Street Journal reported that law-enforcement officials don't expect to file criminal charges as a result of the probe into how the IRS scrutinized conservative tax-exempt groups.

Congressional Republicans are incensed that the IRS transmitted a 1.1 million-page database of information concerning tax-exempt organizations to the FBI shortly before the 2010 election.
