Ugh. More information about the IRS targeting groups and how they did it

[KharmaTrain]

14. More Info Needed Here...

As usual...on the surface this story sounds like a political vendetta until all the facts come forth. There's no defense in the IRS targeting and if it was ordered for political purposes...to hurt a political enemy...then it needs to be investigated and those who ordered the targeting should be brought forward and prosecuted if laws were violated.

That said...we live in uncharted times...the post Citizens United era where the lines between political "non-profits", candidates and big money donors are extremely blurred. Look at all the money that flew around...especially from high flying GOTB donors like Adelson...throwing big sums of cash around that easily could have fallen through cracks. Shouldn't those abuses be exposed and investigated as well? We're learning about how Bachmann's "campaign" violated all sorts of campaign finance laws...shouldn't that campaign and those who donated be looked at if there were tax code violations? The teabagger groups also had financial connections to big money donors and corporates...billions of dollars in all being thrown around out there...and none of this money should be scrutinized?

The more I hear this story the more I see it as a pre-emptive strike of the investigation of the big money donors who have had a profound and negative effect on the campaign process...
