WELL,GOOD FOR THE TEA PARTY GROUPS! THEY DESERVE THE SETTLEMENT…
…BUT WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY IT …AND ALL THE REST OF US TAXPAYERS?
Hey, suckers! It’s only money…as long as it’s yours!
WHY ISN’T LOIS LERNER’S GENEROUS PENSION TAPPED FOR THIS BILL? AND WHAT ABOUT SNARLY, ARROGANT JOHN KOSKINEN (FORMER IRS COMMISSIONER WHO DENIED JUSTICE ON BEHALF OF OBAMA’S CORRUPT IRS?)
Yeah, yeah, I know. If so then Trump should pay for all his “transgressions” the fevered left alleges.
But let’s be specific ; that argument has some merit, but Lerner’s illegal actions were part of the illegal , unconstitutional weaponization of the IRS. But the only people who must pay for their crimes are we, the US taxpayers. Lerner, Koskinen, and all others of the IRS who willingly and knowingly participated in this travesty have been, in effect, not just ‘excused’, but richly rewarded!).
P.S. I’m willing to pay my share…if Lerner and Koskinen are held legally responsible for their criminal behavior…obviously we need an ‘above reproach’, incredibly ‘honorable’, ‘justice-seeker’ like Bob Mueller on the case.
Yeah. Sure. DLH

Tea party groups get revenge against IRS as judge approves $3.5 million payout
A judge late Wednesday signed off on the settlement between the IRS and hundreds of tea party groups, closing out the last major legal battle over what all sides now agree was unwarranted and illegal targeting for political purposes.
The IRS agreed to pay $3.5 million to groups that were wronged by the intrusive inspections, and insists it’s made changes so that political targeting can’t occur in the future.
A few issues are still being fought over in the courts — including whether former IRS senior executive Lois G. Lernerwill be allowed to forever shield her deposition explaining her behavior from public view, and whether the IRS should pay attorney fees — but this week’s decision closes out five years of litigation over the targeting itself
