The IRS admits to ‘targeting’ conservative groups, but were they also ‘leaking’?

Daily Caller:

 

A little over a year ago, I reported that, ”It is likely that someone at the Internal Revenue Service illegally leaked confidential donor information showing a contribution from Mitt Romney’s political action committee to the National Organization for Marriage, says the group.”

 

Now — on the heels of news the IRS’s apology for having targeted conservative groups — NOM is renewing their demand that the Internal Revenue Service reveal the identity of the people responsible.

 

“There is little question that one or more employees at the IRS stole our confidential tax return and leaked it to our political enemies, in violation of federal law,” said NOM’s president Brian Brow, in a prepared statement. “The only questions are who did it, and whether there was any knowledge or coordination between people in the White House, the Obama reelection campaign and the Human Rights Campaign. We and the American people deserve answers.”

 

Recent reports indicate the IRS may have begun targeting conservative groups as early as 2010.

EXCLUSIVE: MCCONNELL: IRS REVELATIONS 'JUST THE BEGINNING'

 

 

From http://www.breitbart...ell-comment-IRS

 

 

On Monday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) fired back on assertions by the IRS that its efforts to target conservative groups were relegated to low-level employees. “Of course not,” he told Breitbart News. McConnell noted that he had raised the issue of IRS targeting of conservatives in 2012, and further noted that the Washington Post “dismissed it as a bunch of red herrings.”

 

 

The scandal, McConnell said, extends up the chain. “The Obama effort to shut up opponents isn’t limited to the IRS,” he stated. “It applies to the FCC [Federal Communications Commission], SEC [securities and Exchange Commission], FEC [Federal Elections Commission], HHS [Department of Health and Human Services] …. And you remember, the Obama campaign last year published a list of eight businessmen who it believed were enemies.”

 

McConnell further noted reports that the Department of Health and Human Services had been contacting businesses “skeptical about the implementation of Obamacare and asking them to contribute money to sell the program to the American people. That’s absolutely improper if not illegal. This administration will stop at nothing to get its way. It will do anything it can to silence its critics.”

McConnell said would not trust any Democrat-led investigation into the IRS scandal. He added with regard to a House investigation of the IRS’ activities, “I’m confident they will do it in the way in which it ought to be conducted, with a high level of skepticism about an agency trying to silence the critics of the Obama administration.”

 

He also added that the recent IRS revelations were “just the beginning of the story. This is no little thing. This is a big thing. The good news about it is they finally got caught. They finally messed with an agency everybody fully understands. When they try to quiet the critics through other agencies, it doesn’t get attention. This does. Everybody understands the IRS and how powerful they are. This is just one example of an administration-wide effort to silence critics.”

Someone of Fox earlier, I have already forgotten who, made the observation that Obama kept saying 'if' the IRS did this, it was unacceptable, or words to that effect. But, the person said, the IRS has already apologized for doing it, so there is no 'if'. Obama is full of chit.

Lets not forget the EPA if he is running thru groups applying pressure to get their way.

Here's the thing (I havn't looked yet), but our brothers abd sisyers on the Left should also be very concerned. If the IRS can do this to the Tea Parties...what is to stop a Republican administration from doing it to (say) the Occupy movement?

Somewhat more integrity?

Also might not matter who is in charge as these are career government workers who tend to lean dem.

This won't be anything if Hillary gets elected.

I'd be willing to make a small wager if she runs she doesn't even get the nomination. Remember in politics 3 years in a very very long time.

I would tend to agree, but the D's really love their Clinton's.
