(WSJ) Former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner, accused of corrupt activities by the ‘House Ways & Means Committee’ for targeting Tea Party & Conservatives groups, appeared to show no particular interest in cracking down on liberal groups seeking to operate as 501(c)(4) organizations or her own potential violations of the Hatch Act which among other things, prohibits federal employees from engaging in partisan political activity on government time.
While still employed at the IRS, Ms Lerner, sent a colleague an email during business hours, soliciting employment for herself at the Washington, DC office of an offshoot of ‘Team Obama’s–OFA’ a 501(c)(4) tax exempt organization mobilized of Obama supporters, first organized in 2009 as ‘Organizing for America’ (it changed its name in 2013 to Organizing for Action) to continue championing the Obama Administration’s legislative agenda.
In February, on Super Bowl Sunday during an interview with FOX News Bill O’Reilly, President Obama claimed that Congress has investigated the IRS controversies and didn’t find any evidence of illegal activity, adding that there is “not even a smidgen of corruption,” in the IRS.
