THIS INFORMATION IS DISGUSTING! GUESS WHO APPOINTED HER

Submitted by: Suzanne IRS Official In Charge During Tea Party Targeting Now Runs ObamaCare Office by NTEB News Desk The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of the tax-exempt organizations at the time when the unit targeted tea party groups now runs the IRS office responsible for the health care legislation. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell also reacted to the revelation late Thursday, stating the news was “stunning, just stunning.” Sarah Hall Ingram served as commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012. But Ingram has since left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act office, the IRS confirmed to ABC News today. Her successor, Joseph Grant, is taking the fall for misdeeds at the scandal-plagued unit between 2010 and 2012. During at least part of that time, Grant served as deputy commissioner of the tax-exempt unit. Grant announced today that he would retire June 3, despite being appointed as commissioner of the tax-exempt office May 8, a week ago. As the House voted to fully repeal the Affordable Care Act Thursday evening, House Speaker John Boehner expressed “serious concerns” that the IRS is empowered as the law’s chief enforcer. “Fully repealing ObamaCare will help us build a stronger, healthier economy, and will clear the way for patient-centered reforms that lower health care costs and protect jobs,” Boehner, R-Ohio, said. “Obamacare empowers the agency that just violated the public’s trust by secretly targeting conservative groups,” Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., added. “Even by Washington’s standards, that’s unacceptable.” Sen. John Cornyn even introduced a bill, the “Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act of 2013,” which would prohibit the Secretary of the Treasury, or any delegate, including the IRS, from enforcing the Affordable Care Act. “Now more than ever, we need to prevent the IRS from having any role in Americans’ health care,” Cornyn, R-Texas, stated. “I do not support Obamacare, and after the events of last week, I cannot support giving the IRS any more responsibility or taxpayer dollars to implement a broken law.” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell also reacted to the revelation late Thursday, stating the news was “stunning, just stunning.” source - ABC News Resigned IRS Chief Formerly Ran Non-Profit Section, IRS Official During Tea Party Targeting Now Runs Health Care Office .......... Resigned IRS chief formerly ran non-profit section by James Simpson http://www.examiner.com/article/resigned-irs-chief-formerly-ran-non... As Congressional Democrats scurry for cover in the wake of the growing scandal surrounding IRS harassment of tea party and conservative groups, President Obama announced on Wednesday that acting IRS chief, Steven T. Miller would resign. As with Benghazi and seemingly everything else these days, Obama claims to have known nothing about it. Too much time at the golf course no doubt. But the dam is bursting on this story. Every day the number of affected groups grows as more and more is uncovered. Today it was revealed for example that the decades-old Leadership Institute was audited in 2011. To defend itself, the institute had to shell out over$50,000 in legal fees. Run by stalwart Reagan friend Morton Blackwell, the LI has an impeccable reputation. Of course the IRS found nothing. During the recall of Wisconsin governor Scott Walker in 2012, a group called "Verify the Recall" hastily formed to check the 1 million recall petitions turned in at the last minute by union organizers. Working with True the Vote, this organization evaluated every one of those petitions in little more than a month. Other groups, including this writer, publicized theirherculean efforts. The IRS apparently didn't like this. The North East Tarrant Texas Tea Party (NETTTP) never told the IRS they were working on the recall, yet IRS questioned them about their relationship with VTR. True the Vote's Catherine Engelbrect said, "There is no explaining this away. It is a reprehensible abuse of power by the IRS to ask one organization for information about the activities of a separate organization while holding their non-profit status hostage." Similarly, in 2010, the IRS demanded that an Ohio group, the 1851 Center for Constitutional Lawexplain in detail its "involvement with the Tea Party." The Center provides legal counsel to Ohioans whose constitutional rights have been aggrieved, including tea party organizations and individuals. While it ultimately received its tax-exempt status, the Center said that, "IRS harassment of liberty-oriented groups, and intent to root out "tea party" activities, even through non-tea party sources such as 1851, has been in full force for a minimum of three years." The list of offended parties grows daily, and while Congressional Democrats are puffing and strutting about this "outrage," many of these same politicians demanded the IRS investigate tea party and other conservative groups. That paragon of virtue, Senator Carl Levin, repeatedly demanded that the IRS look into the tax-exempt status of conservative groups in the run up to the 2012 election. Meanwhile, Senator Max Baucus, called the scandal, "an outrageous abuse of power and a breach of the public's trust." But back in 2010, when his Finance Committee asked the IRS to examine conservative groups, he dismissed Republican objections as "groundless." IRS bureaucrats are being blamed for this scandal, but the fact is that bureaucrats do not engage in this kind of potentially criminal behavior unless forced to do so by political leaders. There is simply too much to lose and nothing to gain, regardless their political leanings. When however, a bureaucrat is elevated to a political position, as was Steven Miller, things change. Then, he may feel more latitude to take liberties. Even then however, there must be some kind of signal. It may not have come from Obama directly, but there is little doubt that Democratic leaders were all on the same page. Miller was a career IRS bureaucrat. Significantly, he was formerly commissioner of the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division, which oversees licensing of tax-exempt organizations. Miller was the right man for the job. While not denying tax-exempt status outright, his division made it so difficult that many organizations quit. Those that stuck with it however, finally got their approvals, but for most, they came after the 2012 elections. So this was the game all along. In 2010, Democrats got what former Florida Rep. Allen West called a "southern-fried butt whipping!" This was largely the result of effective Tea Party activism. Obama and the Democrats wanted to be sure there wasn't a repeat performance in 2012. Through the corrupt and criminal use of the IRS, they got their way. These groups are now having no problem getting approvals. For once House Speaker John Boehner got it right: these people need jail! Baucus, Schumer & 6 others Demanded the IRS Target TParty Groups Full Inspector General Report on IRS Targeting – 100% of Conservati... by sundance In 2010 Max Baucus (D-MT) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) together with six other members of congress demanded the IRS take a political approach to target Conservative and Tea Party groups. Today, the consequences to these “Democrat” congressional demands are in the forefront.  Every.Single.Conservative and Tea Party Group was targeted.   EVERY ONE for two years.
