Oh, This Just Got Serious!
U.S. President Barack Obama has fired the head of the IRS, Steven
Miller, over the current controversy, regarding the agency targeting
conservatives based on political leanings. Obama fired IRS Acting
Commissioner Steven Miller, regarding an upsetting scandal the
Judiciary Report broke first, after being targeted by the agency, in
conjunction with the FBI (
The
FBI And Ethics). The
president branded the misconduct by select IRS employees
"inexcusable." Congress is conducting its own review of the
matter.
Due to items I wrote on the Judiciary Report, criticizing the
government, my mother and I were audited three years in a row and sent a
defamatory letter last year that brought the issue to a head, resulting
in me informing the agency of my intent to sue to rectify the problem.
Once again, the matter has since been resolved, the IRS retracted their
claims and without litigation.

IRS targeted groups that criticized the
government, IG report says
At various points over the past two years, Internal Revenue Service
officials targeted nonprofit groups that criticized the government and
sought to educate Americans about the U.S. Constitution, according to
documents in an audit conducted by the agency’s inspector general.
The documents, obtained by The Washington Post from a congressional
aide with knowledge of the findings, show that on June 29, 2011, IRS
staffers held a briefing with senior agency official Lois G. Lerner in
which they described giving special attention to instances where
"statements in the case file criticize how the country is being
run." Lerner, who oversees tax-exempt groups for the agency,
raised objections and the agency revised its criteria a week later.
