IRS subjects tea party groups to new round of scrutiny, publicizes tax return data - Washington Times
The IRS‘ battle against holdout tea party groups is heating up again, after the tax agency promised it would begin processing their long-delayed applications, but sent a new round of prodding questions demanding still more information.
More jarringly, the IRS then publicly released one of the sets of questions it sent to the Texas Patriots Tea Party — a move the group’s lawyer says puts secret taxpayer return information, supposed to be protected, out in the public.
Tax experts say the IRS may be on safe legal ground, since the filing was made as part of a court case, and that’s one of the few narrow exceptions to strict IRS privacy laws.
Still, the move to release the information has inflamed an already tense class action legal battle between the IRS and tea party groups who feel the agency is still targeting them more than three years after it promised to cease.

They're at it again, and just in time for the election; surprised?

If nothing else we need Trump to get elected to get some real investigations into what is going on at the IRS, the FBI, the DOJ, the EPA as these nests of corrupt officials need cleaned out. It will only get worse under a Hillary.

Besides, I don't think I could ever choke out the words, President Hillary Clinton.

This is what tyranny looks like.

I'm fine with these "tea party" groups getting audited OR receiving extra scrutiny. I'm fine with any political organization masquerading as a charity receiving extra scrutiny.
