The I
RS targeted tea Party Organizations in what looks like a political vendetta. House GOP plan to get to the bottom of it...
WASHINGTON
– Ahead of an impending report by the Treasury Inspector General for
Tax Administration (TIGTA), the Internal Revenue Service today disclosed
that it had targeted certain tax-exempt organizations for their
political beliefs.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell
Issa, R-Calif., and Subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio., requested
the IG look into allegations of political retaliation last June. In
response to the today’s disclosure and apology by IRS, Issa and Jordan
issued the following statement:
“The fact that Americans were targeted by the IRS because of their political beliefs is unconscionable. The
Committee will aggressively follow up on the IG report and hold
responsible officials accountable for this political retaliation.”
