The IRS Scandal, Day 1158

IRS Logo 2Daily Caller op-ed: IRS Hides Records Revealing White House Collusion As Americans Tire Of Constant Scandals, by Mark Meckler (President, Citizens for Self-Governance):

At some point, news of corruption, collusion, and injustice is so common with the Obama administration, it ceases to shock. But here’s the latest nugget of information that will fail to make the headlines of the mainstream media – this time, it deals with the IRS refusing to obey a Freedom of Information Act request that could prove that the White House colluded with them in this scandal.

But this is just one of many scandals, right? Let me refresh your memory if you have lost track. In a stunning show of the Obama Administration’s abuse of power, the IRS admitted at the highest levels to targeting, harassing and intimidating tea party, Christian, pro-Israel and other conservative groups. Their intimidation undermined the ability of ordinary Americans to express themselves and freely participate in the democratic process. In fact, since this was going on during the last Presidential election, their shenanigans could’ve played a role in suppressing the conservative vote.

Which, of course, is why they did it. ...

A new court filing claims that the IRS barely searched for records that would reveal the agency disclosed taxpayer data to the White House without authorization.

CoA Institute issued the FOIA request for documents after a White House official discussed what was supposed to be the private tax status of the Koch Industries’ multi-billion dollar company. Though tax payer information is supposed to be tightly guarded, Austan Goolsbee (chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers at the time) freely discussed this confidential information of the privately owned corporation.

Not a bit surprised. The corruption of the Obama administration is only surpassed by the corruption of the MSM in protecting Obama. Just sickening.
