IRS Also Lied About Taxpayers Money Being Spent For Conferences

(Daily Caller) The Internal Revenue Service already in hot water for concealing its abuses of Conservative & Jewish nonprofits from Congress, appears to have low-balled U.S. Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) who inquired last year how much of the taxpayers money it was spending on lavish parties for staffers.

According to a report issued on the 31 May by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, IRS officials spent wasted more than $49 Million on more than 200 conferences for employees between 2010-2012

Last year when Sen Coburn inquired, from then Obama Cabinet Member, Secy of the Treasury Timothy Geithner how much the IRS had spent on conferences during that exact period, Treasury replied that the IRS had only spent $500,000 on five conferences.

That is a fraction of what the IRS spent on just one $4.1 Million conference in Anaheim, California during which attendees  were treated to a $17,000 keynote speaker who performance-painted portraits of celebrities–IRS festivities included spending $50,000 producing a very bad  parody video of “Star Trek” and an employee dance routine.

Faris Fink (good surname for him, I digress) the Commissioner of Small Business and Self Employed Division, portrayed “Spock” in the very poor “Star Trek” parody and according to Politico stayed 5 nights in a two bedroom presidential suite at the Anaheim Hilton.

(Washington Examiner) On FOX News today, Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX)  said that President Obama should ask for Atty General Eric Holder’s resignation. “Yes. Absolutely,” after he was asked by Megyn Kelly if Obama should ask for Holder’s resignation.

Cruz cited the “unprecedented” investigations of reporters from AP & FOX News James Rosen and Holder’s response to the “Fast & Furious” scandal as examples of the Dept of Justice disregarding the law.

“Unfortunately,  I think its part and parcel of a pattern from this administration of not respecting the Bill of Rights, Cruz added. “Not respecting the First Amendment, not respecting the Second Amendment, not respecting our Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights regarding drone strikes, regarding the IRS.”

Sen Cruz added that it was a disturbing pattern of behavior from the White House.

IRS Audited Five Pro-Israel Groups Critical of Obama Administration Policies

Thursday, May 30th, 2013

MIDEAST-ISRAEL-PALESTINIAN-US-OBAMA

(Washington Free Beacon) At least 5 pro-Israel organizations have been identified that have been audited by the IRS in the wake of a coordinated campaign by White House allied activist groups in 2009-2010

These organizations, some of which are too afraid of government reprisals to speak publicly, said in interviews with the Washington Free Beacon that they believe the IRS actions may have been coordinated by the Obama Administration.

On the 14 May, I wrote here that according to Politico the same IRS that singled out Conservative and Tea Party groups for extra scrutiny of their applications for tax-exempt status, also targeted Jewish groups as far back as 2010 in order to determine whether the organizations activities contradicted the Obama Administration’s public policies.

Many of the Jewish groups targeted by the IRS, openly clashed with the Obama Administration’s policy of opposing Israel settlement construction over the so called “Green Line” which marks the pre-1967 boundary between Israel and the West Bank, together with West & East Jerusalem.
