[DAILYCALLER] The IRS' Washington, D.C. headquarters targeted conservative groups in part due to pressure from Democratic Sen. Carl Levin ...Democrat Senator-for-Life from Michigan. He has been in the Senate since 1979. Prior to that he was president of the Detroit city council and Mayor Coleman Young's right-hand man. He is currently the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services... , according to emails obtained by the watchdog group Judicial Watch and reviewed by The Daily Caller.
Levin, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs' permanent subcommittee on investigations, wrote a March 30, 2012 letter to then-IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman discussing the "urgency" of the issue of possible political activity by nonprofit applicants. Levin asked if the IRS was sending out additional information requests to applicant groups and citing an IRS rejection letter to a conservative group as an example of how the IRS should be conducting its business.
A top IRS official replied that the agency could send out "individualized questions and requests."
"Some entities claiming tax-exempt status as social welfare organizations under 26 U.S.C.&501(c)(4) appear to be engaged in political activities more appropriate for political organizations claiming tax-exempt status under 26 U.S.C.&527," Sen. Levin wrote. "Because of the urgency of the issues involved in this matter, please provide the following information by April 20, 2012."
Levin asked "if it is not provided on a routine basis, approximately what percentage of such applicants receive an IRS questionnaire seeking information about any political activities, and how the IRS determines whether and when to send that questionnaire; and approximately how many days after an application is filed that questionnaire is typically sent."

No, no, not sh*tcan. I'm sick and tired of people like this abusing the system, stomping on regular citizens, and then 'retiring' filthy rich.
Don't they have 1,000 lampposts in Washington DC? I'm somewhat serious - abuse of a higher office, especially Congressman or Senator should be a capital offense IMHO. And upon conviction they are publically hung.
Someone once told me that the punishment you place behind a law illustrates the seriousness and importance you place on it. And I'm not saying that this is more serious than other crimes - just that this type of sh*t should be taken very, very, seriously since it's a threat to the republic.

Dick Durbin said he was going to pressure the IRS on MSNBC. It's on tape. All these libs said they were going to pressure the IRS after the SC ruling.
Betcha she follows Benjamin Netanyahu on Twitter...
[Ynet] Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another John C. Calhoun ... says the United States must be "tough" and "clear-eyed" as it conducts nuclear talks with Iran. But she tells the American Jewish Committee that "no deal is better than a bad deal" with Iran.
See?
The potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate spoke to the American Jewish organization Wednesday as the US and its allies are in talks to reduce Iran's potential nuclear weapons-making abilities. The talks are being conducted in Vienna ahead of a July 20 target date for a deal.

's son, Hunter Biden, has accepted a position with Ukraine's largest private gas producer, but that in no way means the White House signed off on or endorses his hiring, presidential front man Jay Carney said Tuesday.
Burisma Holdings announced Tuesday that Hunter Biden, Biden's youngest son, would serve on the company's board of directors.
The company in a news release on its website said Hunter Biden will be in charge of the Burisma's legal unit and will "provide support" among international organizations. The Moscow Times first reported the news Tuesday.

What saddens me is that I live in a world where this kind of statement is not the subject of immediate and universal mockery.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
Hillary Clinton
Joe
