Darrell Issa: Emails suggest Elijah Cummings prompted IRS targeting[W:130, 252, 358 ]

Re: Issa uncovers the smoking gun int he IRS targeting of conservatives

If the house committee really wanted the information she has, then they would have granted her immunity from prosecution. I suspect it is more theater than investigation.

Ways and Means Committee Refers Lois Lerner to Department of Justice for Criminal Prosecution | House Committee on Ways & Means

Washington, DC – Today, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) announced that the Committee, acting under its authority granted in Sec. 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, voted out a criminal referral letter to Department of Justice (DOJ) Attorney General Eric Holder regarding actions taken by IRS employee Lois Lerner. Chairman Camp, in sending the letter on behalf of the Committee, urged Holder to take a serious review of the evidence uncovered through the Committee’s investigation to determine whether Lerner violated criminal statutes.

The Committee uncovered three specific acts undertaken by Lerner that may have violated one or more criminal statutes documented in the letter:
•Lerner used her position to improperly influence agency action against only conservative organizations, denying these groups due process and equal protection rights under the law. She showed extreme bias and prejudice towards conservative groups. The letter lays out evidence on how Lerner targeted conservative organization Crossroads GPS as well as other right-leaning groups, while turning a blind eye to similarly-organized liberal groups, like Priorities USA.
•Lerner impeded official investigations by providing misleading statements in response to questions from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA).
•Lerner risked exposing, and may actually have disclosed, confidential taxpayer information, in apparent violation of Internal Revenue Code section 6103 by using her personal email to conduct official business.
If convicted of these crimes, Lerner could face up to 11 years in prison.

snip.... MUST READ THE TIMELINE... MUST READ...HIT LINK

Travis,

Could you please explain why groups such as Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS should gain non-profit status under IRS code 501c4 which is for groups who are exclusively dedicated to "social welfare" organizations?
 
Re: Issa uncovers the smoking gun int he IRS targeting of conservatives

The evidence is of a low level employee not doing his job correctly when dealing with an poorly written and ambiguous law. The crime is that political organizations received tax exempt status like a non-profit not that they didn't get approved fast enough.

Then, why is Lerner pleading the 5th?

Yeah, why does she need immunity? I mean, there's been no crime. Right?!?

Not, excusively social welfare groups.

good luck trying to convict Lerner because historical precedent shows that issa's charge is folly.

Link?

There seem to be much more evidence to the contrary...

And we can start with Watergate......

This sewer rat scandal is tawdry enough without trying to suggest, as in the Obama White House MO, to deny there is any legal substance. If that WERE the case Lerner and her legal mouthpieces would have brought in an injunction long before she was caught in the 5th Amendment trap.

Sher lied. She got caught.

People only lie when they have done something wrong.

To say there is no wrongdoing here is pure and simple, but no less disgusting propaganda.

I would say "nice try" but the stupid ploy is so obvious and old it's a joke for 3 year olds.

:3oops:
Exclusively


Social Welfare Organizations

To be tax-exempt as a social welfare organization described in Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 501(c)(4), an organization must not be organized for profit and must be operated exclusively to promote social welfare.​

this video can explain why one should never give "authorities" any information that will be used against you...even if you know you have done nothing wrong...

Media Matters is 501c3 for the exact same reason the conservative Newsbusters is. For education. They cannot and do not get involved in elections. OFA is legitimately a 501c4 because they are exclusively dedicated to social welfare. They can't get involved with elections.

The 5th Amendment doesnt allow the refusal to answer questions that dont incriminate you. Doing so is obstruction of justice.

how do you know she is refusing to answer questions that incriminate other people?

actually its not.. its spin .. spin is what you do.... I sense desperation
 
Re: Issa uncovers the smoking gun int he IRS targeting of conservatives

the link is wrong? how is pbauer wrong if you do not explain the reason why his link is wrong.

Because 501c4 groups arent exclusively limited to social welfare.

As I previously stated it is her right and cooperating with a partisan fishing expedition is never a good idea. Just ask Cristie's cohorts.
 
Re: Issa uncovers the smoking gun int he IRS targeting of conservatives

Obviously you didn't click on the link then.

I don't need to!

" 501(c)(4) organizations may inform the public on controversial subjects and attempt to influence legislation relevant

to its program [43] and, unlike 501(c)(3) organizations, they may also participate in political campaigns and elections, as long as their primary activity is the

promotion of social welfare."


501(c) organization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I already know you're misinterpretting the in formation.

No, its not her right to commit perjury, nor obstruct justice.
