One Year Later, the Victims of Obama’s IRS Deserve Justice
May 10th marks the one year anniversary of the admission that the Obama Administration’s IRS was responsible for targeting conservative Americans.
This unlawful and unconstitutional targeting scheme has been well documented.
Over the course of at least three years and fueled by the harangues of the Left, the IRS systematically targeted, held up applications, and devised a coordinated plan to demand unconstitutionally intrusive information from conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status in the run-up to the 2012 presidential and congressional elections.
The IRS asked pro-life groups for the “content of your members’ prayers.” It demanded donor lists, resumes, and other documentation far outside the purview of the IRS from conservative groups. In multiple instances, the IRS is alleged to have released private taxpayer information in violation of federal law, the latest such accusation in the form of a new lawsuit last month.
