IRS' Lois Lerner gave confidential Tea Party tax info to FEC, violating law

[zimmer]

The Internal Revenue Service shared highly confidential tax information of several Tea Party groups in the IRS scandal with the Federal Election Commission, a clear violation of federal law, according to newly obtained emails.

The emails obtained... show that the IRS, which was considering the tax status of the groups, gave the FEC the tax returns of the groups, including income, expenditures and staff pay. The emails also revealed the exact working of the prying political questions the IRS wanted the groups to reveal, such as their goals and the requests for brochures and ads.

The email chain began Feb. 3, 2009, when the FEC made it’s request to Lerner.
She emailed back 10 minutes later, and said: “I have sent your email out to some of my staff. Will get back to you as soon as I have heard from them.”

Under Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, it is a felony for an IRS official to disclose either ‘return information or ‘taxpayer return information,’ even to another government agency.

Frau IRS was the ideal Marxist foot soldier of the Obama Regime. Doesn't need any prompting, she was well indoctrinated and knew what to do and why she was carrying out this purge on behalf of The Regime.

Isn't it comforting to know the IRS is an arm of Obamakare? And some idiots want to have an even larger IRS!
