IRS Tea Party Targeting Schemer Is Still Unknown

An FBI investigation missed the IRS official who first set in motion the illegal targeting of conservative and tea party non-profit groups applying for tax exemption, documents obtained by a government watchdog group reveal.

An internal IRS document prohibited the targeted applicants from being approved automatically for tax exemption, and agency officials were told to send all such applications to the Orwellian-named Group 7822 to await additional guidance, FBI interviews obtained by Judicial Watch show.

It’s still unclear who authored the internal document that established Group 7822 and who ordered targeted applications be sent to Group 7822.

Disgraced IRS senior executive Lois Lerner has taken most of the heat since retiring from the federal tax agency, but the FBI investigation, which resulted in no prosecutions, suggested that Lerner didn’t write the internal guidance. It’s unclear if she had a role in creating Group 7822.

They can find anything they want. Or not.
Which explains everything.
They also know there is nothing (well, there IS something...) you can do.
Go ahead, write your representative. Leave a message.
We are at the point where no rules, regulations, or laws will restrict the behavior of our "leaders". No "citizen complaint" has any effect. A subpoena? A mere suggestion to them...to you or me? A command with a jail term to enforce it.. There is no shame in our politicians, just a thirst for power and money. No public outrage or exposure has any effect. It's so bad now that they earnestly try to convince us that what we saw and heard is NOT what we REALLY saw and heard.....
Two Sets of Laws.
It's a "societal stimulator". And not a good one, either....
Let me know when your "representative" gets back to you (I KNOW he didn't take your earlier call...lol).
Keep cheering.
