Rioting about the All the Wrong Things

While some protest, riot and decry injustice and out rage over the Zimmerman verdict, the Treasury Department is admitting the confidential tax information of  political candidates and campaign donors are being improperly scrutinized by government officials. However, the Justice Department is declining to prosecute any of the instances of potential wrongdoing.

Treasury’s inspector general for tax administration, J. Russell George, told Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley investigators are looking into two allegations the IRS “targeted for audit candidates for public office.” George also told Grassley that government officials have taken part in at least four “unauthorized access or disclosure of tax records of political donors or candidates,” since 2006.

Grassley has given DOJ Head, Eric Holder until July 26th to answer his questions. Holder has yet to respond.

This is no longer about politics, but rather about civil liberties. The more Progressives do this and get away with it — the more embolden they’ll be to continue stepping on our rights.
