BOMBSHELL: IRS Admits Targeting Conservative Groups And How They Did It

Apparently the IRS not only targeted conservative organizations but also spent a ton of taxpayer money to cover it up.

According to a new report, the IRS literally had hundreds of attorneys working on a special team to try and cover up any wrong doing by Lois Lerner and her pals.

From the Washington Times:

The IRS’s director of privacy, governmental liaison and disclosure division testified Wednesday that the tax agency set up a special team with hundreds of lawyers to handle the probe into whether Tea Party groups were targeted, but repeatedly said she had no idea how it operated.

Mary Howard, who also works as the head Freedom of Information Act officer in the IRS, told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that once the “special project team” was created and operational, she never saw requests for information.

“My understanding was that it started soon after the request came from Congress and other investigators asking for documents around this whole issue,” which she surmised meant around spring of 2013.

Asked who was on the team, she said: “My firsthand knowledge of that is none.” But she did say the Chief Council of the IRS — one of only two political appointees in the IRS; the other is the commissioner — was on the “special project team,” as were “hundreds of attorneys.”

Congress held Lerner in contempt after she claimed she did not know about the targeting, but then later took the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering questions. She was never prosecuted by the Justice Department, but two dozen House members want new Attorney General Loretta Lynch to pursue charges.

Can you imagine if organizations like Black Lives Matter or Fight for $15 were targeted by the IRS?

All hell would break loose and you can bet the Obama Administration would be hell bent on finding out who did it.

Of course, these are just conservatives practicing their free speech. Since the Obama Administration hates for voters to actually be informed, he had to not only shut them up but then cover it up.

To this day Lois Lerner has not be prosecuted and rakes in over $200,000 of taxpayer dollars per year as a pension.

Maybe these attorneys should have been spending time prosecuting Al Sharpton to get the over $4 million in back taxes he and organizations he started owe the IRS.

Then again, that would be racist right? And targeting conservative organizations is just par for the course with the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States.

Nothing to see here folks.
