New IRS E-mails: Lois Lerner Funneled Elijah Cummings Info on Targeted Conservative Group

April 9, 2014

Ranking Democrat previously denied his staff contacted the IRS about group True the Vote

WASHINGTON – Newly delivered internal IRS e-mails sent and received by former IRS Exempt Organizations Director Lois Lerner and other IRS employees show that House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Minority staff, working for Ranking Member Elijah Cummings (Dim), began contacting the IRS in August 2012 about targeted non-profit applicant True the Vote. The IRS produced this e-mail on April 2, 2014 – only days after Oversight Committee Members had taken new IRS Commissioner John Koskinen to task for withholding relevant e-mails. The Chairman and five Subcommittee Chairmen on the Oversight Committee today sent a letter to Ranking Member Cummings (Dim) demanding an explanation for his staff’s queries, why the Minority hid these efforts from the Majority, and why the Ranking Member denied such actions by his staff at a February Subcommittee hearing:
“Although you [Cummings (Dim)] have previously denied that your staff made inquiries to the IRS about conservative organization True the Vote that may have led to additional agency scrutiny, communication records between your staff and IRS officials – which you did not disclose to Majority Members or staff – indicates otherwise,” wrote the Chairman and five Subcommittee Chairmen of the Oversight Committee. “As the Committee is scheduled to consider a resolution holding Ms. Lerner, a participant in responding to your communications that you failed to disclose, in contempt of Congress, you have an obligation to fully explain your staff’s undisclosed contacts with the IRS.”

You're making things up again Corpy. Editing your source material doesn't do much for what little credibility you have, outside of the therapeutic community, that is.

Five days after Cummings (Dim) contacted True the Vote seeking “copies of all training materials used for volunteers, affiliates, or other entities,” the IRS sent True the Vote a letter requesting True the Vote provide “a copy of [True the Vote’s] volunteer registration form,” “…the process you use to assign volunteers,” “how you keep your volunteers in teams,” and “how your volunteers are deployed … following the training they receive by you.”

Still not what's written, Corpy.

The IRS and the Oversight Minority made numerous requests for virtually identical information from True the Vote, raising concerns that the IRS improperly shared protected taxpayer information with Rep. Cummings’ (Dim) staff.

On or before January 25, 2013, Cummings’ staff requested more information from the IRS about True the Vote. The head of the IRS Legislative Affairs office e-mailed several IRS officials, including former Exempt Organizations Director Lois Lerner, that “House Oversight Committee Minority staff” sought information about True the Vote. On Monday, January 28, Lerner wrote to her deputy Holly Paz: “Did we find anything?” When Paz informed her minutes later that she had not heard back about True the Vote’s information, Lerner replied: “thanks – check tomorrow please.

We know she is corrupt and violated the law. The discovery of how far up and around the tentacles of corruption are laced will slowly be revealed.

New factor: Cummings (Dim) -- who is on the House investigating committee -- is now also implicated in targeting conservative groups. Cummings has been trying to shut down the IRS investigation since day one. Plus, Cummings outright denied that his office had any contact with Lerner and/or her people, and that was a lie.

Why would anyone, democrat or republican, not want to stop the IRS from violating the law. The obvious answer is because they would be implicated in the criminal acts.
The criminal Holder will never do anything about this and a special prosecutor and investigator needs to be established.
It is difficult enough that the IRS steals your hard earned money but to further participate in criminal acts is something that must be stopped and the offenders punished severely to establish them as an example of what will happen to anyone that would ever do it again.
We must regain control of our government.
And Elijah Cummings lied about it !

Fucking POS Democrat !!!
Republicans do want to stop the IRS from these kinds of attacks......the weaponization of government !

It is the Democrats who do NOT !

As far back as Watergate, Republicans voted articles of impeachment against Nixon for lesser abuses involving the Nixon administration and the IRS !
