Judicial Watch Obtains 695 Pages of Obama IRS Scandal Documents – Records Not Produced in Initial Congressional Investigation


...Judicial Watch today released 695 pages of new documents from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that contain admissions by IRS officials that the agency used "inappropriate political labels" to screen the tax-exempt applications of conservative organizations.  Other records reveal that the IRS was going to require 501(c)(4) nonprofit organizations to restrict their alleged political activities in exchange for "expedited consideration" of their tax-exempt applications.

The documents were produced after a revelation by the IRS that it had located "an additional 6,924 documents of potentially responsive records" relating to a 2015 Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit about the Obama IRS targeting scandal.  The FOIA lawsuit seeks records about the IRS' selection of individuals and organizations for audits based upon applications requesting nonprofit tax status filed by Tea Party and other 501(c)(4) tax-exempt organizations (Judicial Watch v. Internal Revenue Service (No. 1:15-cv-00220)).

Of the 695 pages of documents released by the IRS, 422 (61%) were withheld in their entirety.  These newly identified records are not records that were contained in the "Congressional Database," which the IRS created in 2013 to house records responsive to congressional inquiries into the IRS scandal.

Included among the newly released a material is a June 20, 2013, memo from Karen Schiller, then-Acting Director, EO Rulings and Agreement, suspending use of the controversial Be on the Lookout (BOLO) and Touch and Go (TAG) lists:

    EO Rulings and Agreements is undertaking a comprehensive review of screening and identification of critical issues. We intend to develop proper procedures and uses for these types of documents. Until a more formal process for identification, approval and distribution of this type of data is established, Rulings and Agreements will not use this technique to elevate issues....

Gee, isn't this the information Gowdy uncovered with his "So Called Investigation?"

admissions by IRS officials that the agency used "inappropriate political labels" to screen the tax-exempt applications of conservative organizations.  Other records reveal that the IRS was going to require 501(c)(4) nonprofit organizations to restrict their alleged political activities in exchange for "expedited consideration" of their tax-exempt applications.

Why was it necessary for JW to have to file for court records, why didn't Gowdy make all of this public record?
Because it was never about prosecuting lawbreakers because if that was the actual goal, a shitload of RINO would have been snagged in the net as well.
We all know the GOP was in on attacking TEA, Hell, it was probably their idea in the first place!

I'm wondering why it took so long for them to "Obtain" said documents. Even with an FOIA there is a certain time period the Govt must act within.....public record or not.

Could the Obama admin held it up somehow?
