Issa: IRS Investigation is a Sham

House oversight committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa said that “politically motivated” leaks discredit the FBI investigation into the IRS targeting scandal, which is not expected to result in any criminal charges.

“There is little reason for the American people to have confidence in this investigation,” Rep. Issa and oversight subcommittee chairman Rep. Jim Jordan wrote in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder provided to The Daily Caller. Issa and Jordan wrote the letter in response to a report that the FBI does not plan to file criminal charges related to the IRS’ harassment of tea party and conservative groups between 2010 and 2012.

“Anonymous — and apparently politically motivated — leaks from unnamed law enforcement officials further undermine the public assurances by the current and former FBI directors that this is a legitimate investigation. These leaks come after the Justice Department, citing the confidential nature of the investigation, refused to brief Congress on its progress and congressional investigators independently discovered that a high dollar contributor to the Obama Administration failed to recuse herself,” Issa and Jordan wrote in the letter.

“These revelations further undermine the credibility of the Attorney General Holder and the Justice Department under his leadership.  Given the circumstances, there is little reason for the American people to have confidence in this investigation,” Issa and Jordan wrote.

The federal government’s criminal investigation of the IRS targeting scandal, spearheaded by the FBI and Holder’s Department of Justice, has long been considered a joke by insiders. DOJ civil rights lawyer Barbara Bosserman, who contributed $6,100 to Obama’s political campaigns between 2008 and 2012, was secretly chosen to lead the DOJ’s investigation, Issa’s oversight committee recently discovered.

IRS Moves to Silence Conservatives

A story in USA Today about the proposed rules suggests that liberal groups have the same concerns as conservative groups, since the rules would hamper voter registration efforts.

A spokesman for the NAACP, and the president of a liberal umbrella group, denounced the IRS proposal in the story.

“That anyone could describe voter registration as a ‘candidate-related political activity’ is crazy,” Kim Keenan, general counsel of the NAACP, told USA Today.

The IRS is encouraging that public comments be posted on its website before the February 27, 2014 deadline.

Citizens should also contact their members of Congress to express concerns about the new regulations, says Vaughn.

IRS Pays Out $220B in Improper Tax Credits

The Internal Revenue Service paid out more than $110 billion in tax credits over the past decade to people who didn’t qualify for them, according to a Treasury report released Tuesday.

The Earned Income Tax Credits were intended for poor working families. In his report, IRS inspector general J. Russell George said more than one-fifth of all credits paid under the program went to people who didn’t qualify.

“The IRS should be commended for implementing numerous processes to educate Americans and identify and prevent improper EITC payments,” George said in a statement. “Unfortunately, it is still distributing more than $11 billion in improper EITC payments each year and that is disturbing.”

“The IRS must do a better job of reining in improper payments in this and in other programs,” George added.

IRS efforts are hampered by unscrupulous tax preparers as well as honest families that have trouble figuring out how to calculate the complicated credit, the report said.
