The Internal Revenue Service (IRS)<\/a> the-dog-ate-my-homework scandal just keeps getting more interesting. CNS News<\/a> is reporting today that the IRS told the White House<\/a> in April about the missing e-mails. Congress<\/a> was finally told in June.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

“The IRS knew in February, or maybe even in March, and Treasury and the White House knew at least in April — but Congress and the American people<\/a> didn’t find out until June. Were you purposely not telling us?” House Ways and Means<\/a> Chair Dave Camp<\/a> (R-Mich.<\/a>) asked Koskinen. “Were you purposely not revealing this to the American people?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2026Camp told the committee he received a letter from the White House two days ago, telling him that the Obama White House learned about the missing Lois Lerner emails in April and was informed by the Treasury Department<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Koskinen said he’s also seen that letter. He said his “understanding” is that someone in the IRS general counsel’s office informed someone in the Treasury Department’s general counsel office “that there was an issue and the IRS was investigating.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is amazing. Remember, the White House just recently announced that there were no e-mails between the IRS and the White House. No wonder–they have had since April to find them and get rid of them!<\/p>\n

There is so much wrong with the current state of the IRS, including the sharing of confidential taxpayer information about nonprofit groups to the Federal Bureau of Investigation<\/a> days before the 2010 midterm elections (see rightwinggranny.com<\/a>). This information included donor lists. This offense is punishable with jail time. It is time to abolish the IRS. It has become a very powerful political tool and needs to go away. We can institute a flat tax or a consumer tax to generate revenue, but the behavior of the IRS and the people involved with it is unacceptable. The IRS has truly become a danger to our freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
