The Daily Caller<\/a> posted a story today stating that they have received an advance copy<\/a> of a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee<\/a>\u00a0that definitively proves malicious intent by the IRS<\/a> to improperly block conservative groups that an IRS adviser deemed \u201cicky.\u201d<\/p>\n

The article lists six findings from the report:<\/p>\n

1. The IRS admitted that the front office was \u201cspinning\u201d about the targeting rumors as early as 2012, after IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman<\/a> denied the tea party targeting to Congress<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Then-IRS commissioner Steven T. Miller almost broke down and told the truth about the tea party targeting at a July 2012 hearing, but Lerner\u2019s sidekick Nikole Flax told him not to.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. The IRS definitely treated tea party applications by a different standard than applications from other (c)(4) groups.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Lois Lerner expressed her frustration about having to potentially approve a lot of groups, and her colleagues in the agency assured her that she wouldn\u2019t have to.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. So the IRS reached out to outside advisers to help come up with ways to deny tax-exempt status<\/a> to \u201cicky\u201d organizations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

6. A May 2011 email from a lawyer in the IRS chief counsel\u2019s office made clear that the agency sought to use a new \u201cgift tax<\/a>\u201d to target donors to nonprofit political groups<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lying to Congress is perjury and I believe it carries a jail term. Unfortunately, the charges would have to be brought by the Justice Department<\/a>, and I don’t see that happening. At any rate, this information needs to be shouted across the media, although my bet is that most of the\u00a0 media won’t report it.<\/p>\n
