A former IRS Criminal Investigation employee:
...although George danced around it quite a bit in his testimony, he did
clarify a little that THE AUDIT found no evidence of a political motive
behind the targeting. Rep. Kaptur tried valiantly to hammer that point
in. That’s not surprising because a TIGTA audit looks at processes. A
TIGTA investigation looks at people. An audit can turn something up that
leads to an investigation, just like a CPA’s audit of a company might
turn up fraud, but IG auditors aren’t supposed to do investigations of
people, just as that isn’t a CPA’s function. Those are done by Special
Agents. George said they’d be looking for RRA98 violations, and, with
Justice and FBI, whether Constitutional rights were violated. In short,
the audit didn’t find any political motive because that wasn’t its
brief....
Just so the terms are clear, folks.

Remember that the IG report listed only two terms that were used as flags for audit: "Tea Party" and "Patriot". The liberal group "Patriot" Majority would have been flagged.
ReplyDeleteAnd if an audit finds that nearly as many organizations like "Progressive Texas" and "Patriot Majority", both liberal groups, as "Tea Party" groups were "targeted", then why would one need an investigation?
It also mentioned 'groups teaching the Constitution' and similar seditious activity, Jimbo.
ReplyDeleteThe audit did NOT find so. The investigation will proceed.
Heh.
Got a source for that? I've never heard of that, but I'm willing to accept it with a source. Of course, teaching the Constitution wouldn't really be social welfare would it, Dadbo?
ReplyDeleteEducating your Barack dick-sucking ass would be social welfare, Jim. Deal with it.
