IRS auditing Breibart News
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/09/...for-audit/
Quote:The company that runs the conservative Breitbart.com news site says the IRS has selected the network for an audit, in a move company executives suggest is politically motivated.
Breitbart News Network, a California-based company which runs several conservative websites, says the IRS recently audited its 2012 financial information.
"The Obama administration's timing on this is exquisite, but try as they might through various methods to silence us, we will only get more emboldened,” Stephen K. Bannon, executive chairman of Breitbart News Network, said in a written statement.
Quote:Larry Solov, president and CEO of Breitbart News Network said: "We stand ready to cooperate with the Internal Revenue Service on its audit of our company, but this will not deter us in the least from continuing our aggressive coverage of this president or his administration.”

Breibart should just tell them they sent everything to Lois Lerner a year ago. Ask her where it is.

RE: IRS auditing Breibart News
Unless I am wrong, wasn't there a Congressional investigation of IRS picking on Conservatives? If so, isn't IRS violating something they claim they are NOT doing, that is persecuting conservative groups. Everyone should be upset, not just conservatives. What if a conservative President used theIRS to persecute the liberals or Progressives? Then, all the liberals and Progressives would be up in arms, if not protesting and creating street violence.
