Judicial Watch: IRS Buried Tea Party Tax-Exemption Bids

Newly-released FBI documents reveal the IRS used bureaucratic delays to stall tax exemption applications by conservative groups in a bid to crush opposition to President Barack Obama's reelection bid.

The documents, obtained by the government watchdog group Judicial Watch, show tea party bids being automatically denied approval.

They were assigned to a special "Group 7822" for an extended "inventory" process all the way up to the 2012 general election.

One IRS manager in Cincinnati told the FBI that "Group 7822" was simply a place for the tea party cases to be held in inventory until guidance from the agency's Washington office was received.

And you all wonder why gun control is a bad idea - even as simple as a little no fly/no gun list. Now you know! They can put anyone on that list without due process. Wake up kids. Creeping Socialism and 1984 is among us. That's why Smart Women vote Trump!

The IRS will do this same thing on the Clinton Foundation so they will not have to prosecute all three Clintons.

How many blatant things have to happen before us Tea party/Conservatives take a stand, more than voting for Trump. We just lost Kansas to a RINO. We are being picked apart and no one really does anything about it.
