A few days ago, it came out
that the IRS had improperly and probably illegally targeted political
candidates and donors. I think we
now know the identity of one of those candidates – Tea Party fave Christine O’Donnell.
On
March 9, 2010, the day she revealed her plan to run for the Senate in a press
release, a tax lien was placed on a house purported to be hers and publicized.
The problem was she no longer owned the house. The IRS
eventually blamed the lien on a computer glitch and withdrew it.
Now Mr. Martel, a
criminal investigator for the Treasury
Department’s inspector general for tax administration, was telling her that
an official in Delaware state government had improperly accessed her records on
that very same day.
Beyond
that, Ms.
O'Donnell and Senate
investigators who have tried to help her have run into a wall of silence . . .
And, of course, Obama’s Department of Justice refuses to
prosecute anyone involved. I guess
they are too busy going after George Zimmerman.
At this point, the only question is the extent of IRS
abuses against O’Donnell and innumerable others. There is no question Constitutional freedoms and the
legitimacy of our political process have been undermined. I think there is
little question that there are IRS and other Feds who belong in prison. Obama’s Justice Department won’t lift a
finger, and this is likely too big for a Congressional committee to deal with.
It is time for a Special Prosecutor . . . and a darned
good one.
