["I am not a crook"] IRS reportedly grilled pro-life group about the 'content of their prayers'

[Joe Cooper]

Questioning during a House Ways and Means Committee hearing revealed that
a pro-life group applying for a 501(c)(3) may have been asked by the
Internal Revenue Service to detail the content of their prayers, the
Washington Examiner reported.

During his grilling of outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller, Rep.
Aaron Schock, R-Ill., made reference to a report by the Thomas More
Society -- a national public interest law firm for religious liberty --
which details the possible targeting of the Coalition for Life of Iowa.

Schock said the question, "Please detail the content of the members of
your organization's prayers," had been asked by the IRS to the pro-life
group.

�Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501(c)(3) applicant?� asked
Schock. �The content of one�s prayers?�

Miller's answer was inconclusive, "It pains me to say I can't speak to
that one either."

Upon further questioning from Schock, Miller argued that it would
"surprise him" if that question was asked, but he would not be drawn into
commenting on a specific case.

is the modus operandi. (Ben Shapro, "Bullies")
