IRS AND BIG GOVERNMENT – CAN YOU TRUST THEM?


ILawmaker:  Holder must probe leak of Romney tax returns
Daily Caller – Alex Pappas – 5/16/2013

A Republican lawmaker has asked Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate whether former presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s tax returns were leaked by the Internal Revenue Service.

“Do you know if the IRS leaked tax information related to Mitt Romney during the Republican presidential primary general campaign?” Idaho Rep. Raúl Labrador asked Holder when he appeared before the House Judiciary Committee this week.

When Holder responded that he didn’t know, the website Talking Points Memo reported, Labrador asked him to investigate the topic. But the attorney general replied that he isn’t sure if he has a “predicate for it.”

But on the House floor on Thursday, California Rep. Tom McClintock said there’s “reason to believe” the IRS leaked Romney’s tax information, The Hill reported.

“There’s now reason to believe that IRS officials leaked confidential tax information to top officials in the Obama campaign, and to liberal groups such as ProPublica and the Huffington Post, which may then have illegally published that information,” McClintock said.
