IRS official Lerner speedily approved exemption for Obama brother’s ‘charity’
Lois Lerner, the senior IRS official at the center of the decision to target tea party groups for burdensome tax scrutiny, signed paperwork granting tax-exempt status to the Barack H. Obama Foundation, a shady charity headed by the president’s half-brother that operated illegally for years.
Still believe Obama knew nothing of this scandal?

Broadening IRS Victims Include Pro-Life Advocates, As Congress Investigates
In one case, the IRS withheld approval of an application for tax exempt status for Coalition for Life of Iowa. In a phone call to Coalition for Life of Iowa leaders on June 6, 2009, the IRS agent “Ms. Richards” told the group to send a letter to the IRS with the entire board’s signatures stating that, under perjury of the law, they do not picket/protest or organize groups to picket or protest outside of Planned Parenthood. Once the IRS received this letter, their application would be approved.

also went after groups whose goal was to educate people about the Constitution.
easy to see why they would not want people learning about that vererable old document huh?

No way. He is part of the protected class. He can do whatever he wants. He is untouchable.
Just like BO.

Heres more news! Fox News just reported Obama used Chicago politics to bring down the Tea Party in Ohio and Michigan elections in 2012. And Ohio and Michigan governors are going to investigate state tax agencies to see if they were part of IRS Scheme. Looks like a lot of rogue tax agents are going to serve some time IN PRISON. I wount bet now Philadelphia police officers are now gonna find those black panthers and beat up on them just like those 4 LAPD officers beat the holy hell out of Rodney King
That's what being a police officer is about

In a news conference today with the Turkish PM, Obozo was asked if he or anyone else in the White House was aware of the IRS targeting conservative groups prior to the White House counsel being informed of it on April 22nd. I'm paraphrasing the reporter's question here, but it's close to what was asked. Before answering, Obozo said, "Let me make sure I answer the specific question." He then proceeded to completely re-define the question, saying that he could assure the American people that he knew nothing about the "IG's Report" before it was released. WHY would this President first declare that he wanted to make sure he answered the specific question, and then NOT answer the specific question. He did it so deftly that some news outfits are reporting that Obama said that he and nobody else in the White House knew what the IRS was doing. That is NOT what the President said. This President is pure scum, and I now believe that the White House knew damn well what the IRS was doing, and turned a blind eye to it.

Lois Lerner, head of the IRS Exempt Organizations Division, and the person who first disclosed improper IRS practices, seems to be at the heart of this IRS scandal. She was appointed to her position in 2006, during the Bush administration. She's been described by some as "apolitical" and a "rule follower". She disclosed IRS abuses in response to a question during an ABA meeting. In her answer she indicated that abuses had occured between 2010-2012, implying that it was a "rogue" operation that had stopped in 2012.
The year in which Ms. Lerner claimed the abuses began, 2010, is significant. That's the year in which the US Supreme Court decision known as "Citizens United" occurred. That decision allowed for 401(c)(3) (c)(4) (tax-exempt, social-welfare groups) to raise and donate as much money as they like to political campaigns, if the organization's main focus remains "social welfare", and not politics.
President Obama criticized the ruling in "Citizens United" while members of the Supreme Court sat before him as he delivered his State-of-the-Union speech. In stating that the year 2010 was the year in which IRS abuses began, Ms. Lerner may have been establishing an "excuse" for those abuses. We should begin to hear Democrats claim that a few IRS rouges began auditing conservative groups because of the increased allowances inherent in the "Citizens United" ruling. If so, that claim will be patently FALSE!
IRS abuses began within weeks after President Obama's election in 2008, prior to him even taking office. Bill Donahue, President and CEO of The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, announced today that the '"Catholic League" received a letter from IRS lawyers on 24 November, 2008, advising them that they'd be investigated by the IRS. The catalyst of that investigation????... a complaint sent to the IRS by "Catholics United", a group that's funded indirectly through "Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good"; i.e, George Soros! Lois Lerner was one of the two IRS officials to whom the Soros-driven complaint was sent.
The IRS eventually backed-off of Bill Donahue's group, saying that Donahue had expressed political opinions "unintentionally". The point was made, however, that any expression of conservative values would pay the price of increased IRS scrutiny and abuse. These IRS crimes didn't begin in 2010 with the actions of a few rogues. It began with Obama's election, and in my opinion, Lois Lerner was among the first involved in it!

IRS Official in Charge During Tea Party Targeting Now Runs Health Care Office
The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of the tax-exempt organizations at the time when the unit targeted tea party groups now runs the IRS office responsible for the health care legislation.
Sarah Hall Ingram served as commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012. But Ingram has since left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act office, the IRS confirmed to ABC News today.
