IRS Commissioner: Activity 'Absolutely Not Illegal'
Bullshit, but he has to say that. What's he going to do, cop to federal crimes?
• 28 USC 7414: willful oppression under color of law related to revenue laws
• 18 USC 241 & 242: conspiracy against rights and deprivation of rights under color of law
• The Hatch Act: prohibits civil servants from engaging in political activity
• And probably other laws. [rdbrewer]
