The IRS Scandal, Day 1826: The Five Year Anniversary

By Paul Caron

Wall Street Journal op-ed:  The Unresolved IRS Scandal, by Bradley Smith (Capital University Law School; former Chair, Federal Election Commission):

Imagine if liberal groups discovered that President Trump’s Internal Revenue Service was targeting them for heightened scrutiny or harassment. The media and Democrats would decry this assault on the First Amendment and declare the U.S. on the brink of autocracy. The scandal would dominate the midterms, and the legitimacy of the election would be called into question.

Strangely enough, the IRS did target organs of the opposition party during the last administration, but the episode has largely faded from public memory without resolution. May 10 marks the fifth anniversary of the revelation that President Obama’s IRS targeted conservative groups for more than two years prior to the 2012 presidential election.

While some of the faces at the IRS have changed, the law that enabled their misuse of power has not. Congress’s failure to address the problem leaves the U.S. democratic process vulnerable to further abuses. 

Lois Lerner, the career official at the center of the IRS scandal, retired on full pension after invoking her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination before Congress. John Koskinen, appointed IRS commissioner by Mr. Obama to lead the agency “in difficult times,” served his full term, spending the better part of four years stonewalling congressional requests for information. On his watch, the IRS destroyed evidence subject to subpoena.

The response from the political system showed early promise but quickly fizzled. ...

[M]any conservatives seem to think Washington has turned the page on IRS abuse. Meanwhile, too many Democrats seem to think that this could never happen to them. Both are wrong.

Interesting.

President Trump on Thursday touted a report saying the FBI under former President Obama spied on the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential race, saying that the revelation could be "bigger than Watergate."

“Wow, word seems to be coming out that the Obama FBI 'SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN IMBEDDED INFORMANT,'" the president tweeted in reference to a National Review report published last week.

“Andrew McCarthy says, 'There’s probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign.' If so, this is bigger than Watergate!”

I ... kinda... doubt this. But on the other hand, Obama's administration also used the IRS to seek out and go after conservatives. The Obama administration did not have to deal with consequences of their actions then and most likely won't have to face consequences of their actions now with this. The best we can do at this point is to hope these types of actions never happen again.

The best we can do is to fully expose this criminal activity, and prosecute those who undertook it ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,then hopefully it will never happen again, and maybe we won't have to hope that it never happens again.

It's not going to happen, QO. Might as well stop believing. (then again, I was pretty damn sure Hillary Clinton was going to be President)

IG report coming next on her ................should be quite interesting.

Wapo can no longer ignore the corruption ....half decent article considering their bias. 

THe Obama DOJ was the most criminal political group in the history of the US

I have absolutely no reason to dispute that statement.

I guess that makes you unreasonable.

About to get very, very interesting.  Just about everything you would not want to believe, is going to end up being true.  Trump is right again, this makes Watergate look like a playground game of tag........this abuse of power shakes the nation at its core. 

There needs to be more information on this, because currently I am not 100% sold on Obama admin spying on Trump. 

Anyway, does anybody want to take bets on which of QO's puppets will respond first?

there is info.  The DOJ behind an unelected official, Rosenstein is blocking and slow rolling all of it. Wait till either the midterms or after Trump wins another election.  Heads will roll.  Trump will walk into the DOJ and shake that place up.

I do. Blind partisans on one side say one thing with complete confidence daily while dismissing the other side as wackos; blind partisans on the other side say the opposite thing with complete confidence daily while dismissing the first side as wackos. Both sides come across as all noise with very little substance, but because they're the loud, angry ones, everyone else has to listen to them regurgitate the same shit daily to the degree that it's obvious that, regardless of side, they're all wackos.

That includes you. Figured I needed to add that, since you tend to be exceptionally dense.
