Report Copyright Violation | Shocker: IRS fails to meet Senate Finance's deadline for documents on targeting The IRS will not deliver documents requested by top Senate Finance Committee members on the agency's targeting of conservative groups by Friday, committee aides said.
Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and the panel's ranking member, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), had asked the IRS for a wide range of information in a May 20 letter - 41 questions in all.
The senators' requests included details of any communication between the IRS and White House officials about the singling out of Tea Party groups seeking tax-exempt status. In the letter, Baucus and Hatch asked for the agency to answer by Friday.
"It's disappointing that the IRS failed to produce any of the documents requested by the committee," the press offices for Baucus and Hatch said in a joint statement. "This is an agency that revolves around making the American taxpayer meet hard deadlines each and every year when they file their taxes, oftentimes penalizing those that are late."
"The IRS needs to do much better," the statement added.
IRS officials also did not meet a deadline for documents set by the top tax-writers in the House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) and the committee's leading Democrat, Rep. Sandy Levin (Mich.). Camp and Levin had asked the agency for documents on how it vetted conservative groups by May 21. Last Edited by mrmuffins69 on 06/04/2013 05:54 PM |

Report Copyright Violation | Re: Shocker: IRS fails to meet Senate Finance's deadline for documents on targeting Congress betrayed the American people to secure their positions of power, and have in turn been turned into inconsequential bags of wind. It is all Obama now, him and the rubber stamp supreme court. Last Edited by R&y on 06/04/2013 07:15 PM |

Since when has the IRS ever had to answer to anybody ? But you can bet those Senators asking questions will get audited real soon - The IRS scandal was created by the .gov and then leaked by them as a warning to the American People to "toe the line and do what you are told, or else ....." |
