Maybe those missing emails are retrievable but I wouldn't count on it.

Doubt we'll ever get to the bottom of this and other scandals.
And to think we have the most transparent gov't in history LOL.

Should these political organizations be tax exempt?

Only if they are republican...

Which "political organizations"?

Should congress clear up that exempt status these political groups seem to be enjoying?

No...........

But if we did away with the income tax then it wouldn't be an issue.

Abolish the income tax system.

Further, the (c)(4) designation has no real purpose. The best explanation, in my view, for tax exemption for charities is that it is a sort of partial government subsidy for organizations that offer services that the private market will not offer, and that government either will not or cannot offer directly. I find it hard to believe that lobbying suffers from such a serious market failure that we need to subsidize organizations whose primary activity is to lobby. In fact, it seems almost perverse that the government would subsidize organizations whose primary purpose is to lobby the government.
So let’s make it simple: if you want to be a charity, be a charity and live with the 501(c)(3) limits; if you want primarily to be engaged in the political process through lobbying or otherwise, pay taxes like everyone else or register as a 527 political organization.

I might support getting rid of tax exemptions for everyone; especially if it is part of a structurally reorganized tax code !

Including unions !

Watch the creepily robotic IRS Commissioner John Koskinen (a former Dem fund-raiser) get his ass handed to him:

Refresh my memory.. what were the two key things that sank Nixon?
1) Using the IRS to target opponents
2) Suddenly missing 8 minutes of tape recorded conversations that a "staffer mistakenly erased"

Yep.. President Obama is the President that Richard Nixon tried to be. Originally Posted by RedLeg505

Did you mean the 18.5 minutes the conservative president and all his "men" lost? The most successfully prosecuted and convicted cabinet in all of American history?
You "conservatives" don't talk about him much. Add to that the idea that the current administration is even eligible for that league is a farce.
Mr. President. The United States knows Dick Cheney. And you're no Dick Cheney.

It looks like you are the asshole whirly wishes he wasn't and that jd..tried.....to...be? Whatever. Can't tell the douche-bags from the assholes without an RNC membership card.

Actually, the current administration has reached levels of dishonesty and corruption Nixon could only dream of.

+1.

One of the articles of impeachment against Nixon was he "endeavoured" to use the IRS against his political opponent. In reality, the Nixon administration never actually used the IRS to target opposition. But Team Obama has !!!!

You gotta love these moments in political theater when bureaucratic tools are exposed !
