Representative: Nearly One in Ten Donors to Tea Party Groups Were Audited
Stunning, if true.
I don't know if it is true. It seems so hard to believe that anyone would be that brazen.
Despite assurances to the contrary, the IRS didn�t destroy all of the donor lists scooped up in its tea party targeting � and a check of those lists reveals that the tax agency audited 10 percent of those donors, much higher than the audit rate for average Americans, House Republicans revealed Wednesday.
...
�The committee uncovered new information indicating that after groups provided the information to the IRS, nearly one in 10 donors were subject to audit,� Rep. Charles W. Boustany Jr., Louisiana Republican and chairman of the Ways and Means Committee�s oversight panel, told IRS Commissioner John Koskinen at a hearing Wednesday.
�The abuse of discretion and audit selection must be identified and stopped,� he said.
Mr. Koskinen didn�t specifically address the accusations during the hearing, and the IRS didn�t respond to a request for comment late Wednesday evening.
Not even a smidgen of corruption.
