THE IRS SCANDAL: TIMELINE

A "Scandal" That Should More Appropriately Be Labeled Criminal Activity

 The IRS obviously is and has been a tool of oppression for decades. Many have suspected harassment and outright persecution for years. They have now been vindicated by the exposure of the illegal activities of this so called “agency” in the targeting of conservative groups and the abusive demands and wait times imposed upon them that amounted to silencing their voices.

Will this ever be remedied and stopped. The IRS, as well as a plethora of other alphabet “agencies” must be either eliminated or have their authority to issue fiats, er, regulations severely curtailed. Congress, do your job!

From Discover The Networks: In May 2013, it was learned that from April 2010 to April 2012, the Internal Revenue Service had placed on hold the processing of applications for tax-exempt status that it had received from hundreds of organizations with such presumably conservative indicators as “Tea Party,” “Patriots,” or “9/12” in their names. During that period, the IRS approved only four applications from conservative groups while green-lighting applications from several dozen organizations whose names included the likely left-leaning terms “Progressive,” “Progress,” “Liberal,” or “Equality.”
In February 2014, it was further learned that of the
already-existing nonprofits that were flagged for IRS surveillance (including monitoring of the groups’ activities, websites, and any other publicly available information), 83% were conservative. And, of the groups that the IRS selected for audit, 100% were conservative.
This section of Discover The Networks provides a timeline of this illegal, blatantly partisan practice by the IRS.
