Report: Fifth IRS Agent In Cincinnati Office Tied To Tea Party Scandal.
So much for those two "rogue" employees.
CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - Continuing our exclusive coverage of the IRS
scandal, FOX19 has obtained documents of a fifth Cincinnati IRS agent who
reportedly came after a pro-life group in 2009.
The group was asked about prayer meetings, and the content of signs held
up outside Planned Parenthood.
According to documents obtained by FOX19, the group in question is
'Coalition for Life', a group based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Coalition for Life stated it was 'organized for charitable, religious and
educational activities', all of which would allow it to qualify as an exempt
organization under 501(c)(3) status.
Over 150 pages of back-and-forth took place in 2009, prior to the dates
given by the IRS for when so called 'rogue' agents began targeting
conservative groups.
Testimony in Washington on Friday claimed it began in 2010 after a surge
of Tea Party and Liberty groups began seeking 501(c)(4) status.
"In 2010, the inappropriate criteria that singled out organizations for
tax exempt status by name was developed by what office, and where are those
employees located?" Steven Miller was asked during a hearing on Friday, the
former acting IRS Commissioner.
"For the most part, they are located in Cincinnati," he replied.
So, this latest revelation does not correlate with the timeline given in
Washington as testimony on Friday.
The IRS has claimed this behavior began in 2010. However, according to
documents obtained by FOX19, an IRS agent in Cincinnati, identified only as
a 'Ms. Richards', was questioning the Coalition for Life as early as April
of 2009.
