Claims of political targeting by the Internal Revenue Service are flooding into the House Ways and Means Committee, bolstered by evidence that includes secretly recorded conversations with IRS officials.
Ways and Means has created a website inviting Americans who believe they were targeted to share their stories, and among the information being forwarded to committee investigators are surreptitious recordings of interviews with the IRS. The recordings and other evidence are coming from conservatives who believe they were subjected to tax audits because of their political activism, or from members of conservative groups who believe their organizations' requests for tax-exempt status was subjected to extra scrutiny.

Mike Pretl was defending the IRS today in the Daily Times, saying they targeted liberal groups, too.
ReplyDeleteThen why did they issue a statement admitting to targeting conservative groups, but not adding what Pretl did?
The IRS admitted they did wrong and now are just looking for the right scapegoats. They didn't immediately say, "Wow, we looked into these red flags and these groups came up with them." Toss that alibi away.
The IRS shouldn't be "targeting" anyone based on political sides. Only those who aren't paying their fair share based on the facts.
