Baucus, now investigating
IRS, urged IRS to target conservative groups in 2010

Democratic Montana Senator
Max Baucus is leading an investigation into why the Internal Revenue Service
targeted conservative nonprofit groups for extra scrutiny despite the fact that
Baucus once wrote a letter urging the IRS to do exactly that.
Baucus, chairman of the
Senate Finance
Committee, will head the committee’s investigation into the IRS, which apologized Friday for targeting groups with
the terms “Tea Party” and “Patriot” in their titles for extra scrutiny of their
nonprofit status as early as 2011.

However, Baucus once wrote a
letter requesting that the IRS engage in that very conduct.
Baucus wrote a
letter to then-IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman dated September 28, 2010 urging the IRS to investigative nonprofit conservative
groups during the Tea Party-dominated 2010 midterm elections.
BLOGGER COMMENT: Apparently funds directed at conservative
candidates (as opposed to liberal / progressive / socialist candidates) was too
much for Democratic Senator Max Baucus.
He encouraged the IRS to scrutinize
the application of non-profits. And now he’s “leading an
investigation” into the IRS.?????
Can anyone take seriously
the actions of any elected official or appointed bureaucrat or any person anymore
who works for the federal government? Are
we still supposed to trust these people with our lives and our taxes?
