IRS SCANDAL UPDATE: IRS Lawyer Says Scandal Was Overseen by D.C. “Top IRS officials in Washington, D.C. planned and oversaw the agency’s improper targeting of conservative groups, according to the 72-year old retiring IRS lawyer who will testify Thursday before the House Oversight Committee.”

MORE ANTI-TEA-PARTY ACTIVITY: IRS Admits It Leaked Christine O’Donnell’s Tax Records To Opposition Day She Announced:
On March 9, 2010, the day she revealed her plan to run for the Senate in a press release, a tax lien was placed on a house purported to be hers and publicized. The problem was she no longer owned the house. The IRS eventually blamed the lien on a computer glitch and withdrew it.

Now Mr. Martel, a criminal investigator for the Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax administration, was telling her that an official in Delaware state government had improperly accessed her records on that very same day.

Beyond that, Ms. O’Donnell and Senate investigators who have tried to help her have run into a wall of silence, leaving more questions than answers about whether abuses of the IRS system extend to private individuals and not just the tax-exempt groups already identified as victims.

Seems like a lot of the “bad luck” that affected some Tea Party candidates wasn’t bad luck at all. Examples must be made to ensure that this doesn’t happen again. Name, shame, and sue.
