Obama IRS Scandal Reignites as New Documents are Discovered


Obama isn’t out of hot water now that he’s out of D.C. Just this week, new details have emerged about the IRS scandal that broke four years ago.

We have no intention to allow the extra-legal activities of former President Obama’s administration to fade into the sunset now that he is out of office. Particularly egregious was his use of the might of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to target groups that disagreed with his political views.
And heel-dragging at the IRS continues.

Last week, Judicial Watch reported that the agency informed the U.S. District Court that it located “an additional 6,924 documents of potentially responsive records” relating to our 2015 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit regarding the Obama IRS targeting scandal.

The lawsuit at issue sought records about the IRS selection of individuals and organizations for audits based upon applications requesting non-profit tax status filed by Tea Party and other 501(c)(4) tax-exempt organizations (Judicial Watch v. Internal Revenue Service (No. 1:15-cv-00220)).

These newly identified records are presumably not the records contained in the so-called “Congressional Database,” which the IRS created in 2013 to house records responsive to congressional inquiries into the IRS scandal.

So no, Barack Obama isn’t the first “scandal-free” president of the modern era. And if evidence corroborating Trump’s wiretapping claims emerge, Obama’s reputation will dive even further. He’ll go from smug disgraced politician to a Nixon-level pariah. Likely, it’s only a matter of time.
