The Daily Caller has obtained an advance copy of a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee report set to be released Tuesday morning that definitively proves malicious intent by the IRS to improperly block conservative groups that an IRS adviser deemed icky. (Thats right. Icky.)
It said efforts to cover up the scandal were ultimately led by Obama himself. Obama initially said the IRSs actions were inexcusable, but later said there was not a smidgen of corruption at the IRS.
Missing from the report: evidence that the White House orchestrated a plot a connection Republicans originally sought to make but later scaled back as they failed to find a smoking gun. But they still slam IRS officials for what they call biased behavior.

A well-meaning friend of Chad Chadwick called the Missouri City, TX police to say that he was afraid that Chadwick was having emotional difficulties; the cops lied to a judge to say that they had reason to believe Chadwick was heavily armed, then they sent a SWAT-team to his house (where he was asleep in the tub), beat 11 kinds of shit out of him, gave him permanent hearing loss, held him in solitary confinement, fraudulently accused him of resisting arrest, and tried to have him imprisoned -- he was acquitted, but a judge wouldn't punish the cops or the DA, because "There is no freestanding constitutional right to be free from malicious prosecution."

Well, except Engvall is on the record promoting the idea that no civilian should be allowed to own an AK-47. He also said in that video that hell compromise with people calling for an outright repeal of the Second Amendment and ban guns that shoot too many rounds that would ruin meat while hunting.

The IRS scandal started 587 days ago in May 2013, but it actually goes back years earlier. President Obamas testy not even a smidgen of corruption remark to Fox News in February 2014 showed fatigue. There was simply no evidence that the IRS was used for political targeting, he made clear. Maybe, but here are 20 things every American taxpayer should know about it:

Business realities weighed heavily in Shumlins retreat. His experts calculated the state would need an 11.5 percent payroll tax and an additional income tax of up to 9.5 percent. Thats California-style taxation. My health-care costs would have gone up by 61 percent if that plan had gone through, Win Smith, the owner of the Sugarbush ski resort, told reporters. If there were that 9 percent [income tax] on employees, many would have been paying more than theyre paying now. It would have been a lose-lose. Shumlin admitted it would be irresponsible for him to be pushing prematurely for single-payer when the risk of economic shock is too high at this time.

On December 10, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., and Ranking Member Sander Levin, D-Mich., introduced the Taxpayer Protections Against Abusive Seizures Act.
The act is a simple two-page bill. When the IRS seizes property under an alleged structuring scheme, the agency must return the property if the accused requests a hearing in court within 14 days of seizure. In order to maintain the laws legitimate power against terrorists and money launderers, property is not returned to the accused if the court finds probable cause within 14 days. Of course, that is still enough time for many businesses to go under, but currently there is no protection at all.
