Treasury admitted today that the IRS tax records of several political candidates and campaign donors were illegally disclosed to unnamed government officials.
The law is such an inconvenient thing: The Obama Treasury Department admitted today that the IRS tax records of several political candidates and campaign donors were illegally disclosed to unnamed government officials.
[O]f the four instances in which tax records were improperly accessed, three cases were determined to be “inadvertent.” “In the fourth case, we presented evidence of a willful unauthorized access to the Department of Justice, but the case was declined for prosecution,” Mr. George wrote. Of the three cases that the inspector general called “inadvertent” disclosures, Mr. George said his office referred one to Justice with a recommendation that no prosecution be brought. He said Justice officials agreed with his office’s assessment. No reason was given for Justice’s rejections of prosecutions.
I wonder why the Obama Justice Department declined to prosecute that fourth case, which was “willful” and thus very illegal.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Shhh! We’re supposed to be all be good citizens, and talk only about the George Zimmerman case, and not about the IRS scandal, the NSA scandal, Benghazi, or anything else that may make Dear Leader look bad in any way!
I agree, the Zimmerman trial was all smoke and mirrors, the prosecution knew they had a bad case, but orders from on high came in and the democrats do what they always do, DISTRACT!
Crooks, cronies, and carpetbaggers. 1865 and 2013 have a lot in common.
Only four over the last six years, that seems low. Would be nice to know more but the article didn’t say much.
One other thing, corruption is common in government from both parties. That 4th case could have been during the Bush years.
This whole story could be an effort to distract us from abuses at the IRS, DOJ, EPA, ect by providing a fig leaf of a single misdeed during the past administration to excuse what is happening now.
I urge some caution on this story. It may not be what it appeqrs.
