"Judicial Watch today released a new batch of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) documents revealing that its handling of Tea Party applications was directed out of the agency’s headquarters in Washington, DC. The documents also show extensive pressure on the IRS by Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) to shut down conservative-leaning tax-exempt organizations. The IRS’ emails by Lois Lerner detail her misleading explanations to investigators about the targeting of Tea Party organizations."

Somebody's got some explaining to do.

Whoooeeee, this is interesting. Pass the popcorn.

This one came in on the radio while I was on the way in. People are believing this is why Levin's not running for another term, in what would normally be a "guaranteed safe" district.

I'm amazed someone "bright enough" to be elected to the Senate would be so stupid as to request something criminal in writing via government email.

It sure doesn't seem like IRSgate was initiated by some "low level flunkies" in Cincinnati now does it?
Now that these email are coming out you have to wonder just how high this went and who has Lois been protecting, Levin or higher?

Nothing to see here. move along.

Now, of course, the arbiter of what is and what isn't worthy of the government oversight role will step in here soon enough and say "nothing here, see I told you, it doesn't reach to the highest parts of the White House and that's the measure".

This isn't going away. In fact, it's only going to get better.

I wondered the same thing, mn.. but, Levin read the email on the air, and what he read sounded pretty damning, and my thought process was... why would you put something on paper that could be pulled with a FOIA?

Your response is really quite comical. What exactly do you think Levin was doing?

But I'd really love to know what the criminal activity was. Specifically, which law did Levin break?

It's not illegal for the IRS to go after any certain group of people who they think might be evading taxes more than another group. Not saying it's right and just, but it's not illegal. It's the IRS and it's what they do.

I'm sorry that you guys can't understand this. That's why you're going to continue to be disappointed in how this turns out. There is still no there there.

There he is, right on cue.

Yep, and the good Mr. Cummings has his dirty hands all over the True the Vote harassment as well. It's no wonder the dims are as anxious as a whore in Church to get this thing over with. Haha.

The Flailing about, gnashing of teeth and accusations of Republicans acting like "Nazi's" (oooooh!!!) ought to be flying around any time now. This could get downright comical. And not just around here... /pops corn/

So you can't answer the question either?

Levin's been accused of criminal activity. What is it?

Stop being a mope like SOAF and engage in a calm, rational discussion. Or shut the **** up. Your choice.

If he committed a crime, he should be tried for it. I would take zero issue with that.

The question has already been answered above in this thread.

"The documents also show extensive pressure on the IRS by Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) to shut down conservative-leaning tax-exempt organizations."

That's an allegation at this point, and unproved. But if further evidence substantiates that, then pressuring the IRS to shut down organizations for political purposes is in fact illegal.

Capiche?

First, as you say, this is just an opinion. Levin was just asking questions. That's always the right wing line isn't it? And he was only trying to shut down illegal activity. You have to separate that. Again, while inconvenienced (some quite mightily), no conservative groups were denied exempt status. None. Asking the IRS (or even pressuring them) to investigate is not criminal activity. He can't force them to do anything.
