Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 6, 2017 Members Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) Has anyone read this? Someone said the report that was previously released by Buzzfeed had a lot more redactions than this. https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984/Trump-Intelligence-Allegations.pdf Edited October 6, 2017 by DramatistDreamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 6, 2017 Members Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) Four years later, the IRS tea party scandal looks very different. It may not even be a scandal. This gives credence to the sentiment that I had years ago when this 'scandal' broke- that the I.R.S. was likely a woefully understaffed and highly inefficient institution and had been so for at least a decade leading up to 2013.

Members Khan Posted October 6, 2017 Members Share Posted October 6, 2017 Unfortunately, the right will find some way to discredit these findings and continue pushing the narrative that the Obama administration waged battle against the Tea Party and other conservatives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted October 6, 2017 Members Share Posted October 6, 2017 And still is right? I believe I've read something about the Republicans keeping that way on purpose, but I can't swear to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted October 6, 2017 Members Share Posted October 6, 2017 One of the best pieces of hard investigative journalism I've read in years. A must-read: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 6, 2017 Members Share Posted October 6, 2017 Likely, it's still a mess but much like the deficit, it is something the GOP doesn't care all that much to talk about. Even when asked about this latest story, a few tried to center their argument, saying the IRS specifically targets groups that express a POV, (implying liberal as well as conservative) as if that was what they meant to say all along. Yeah...right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted October 7, 2017 Members Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Watching several 'liberal' journalists and bloggers get outed as secret sources/pals with Milo as fallout from the above Buzzfeed piece is grimly entertaining. The least surprising for me, somehow, is NY Mag's Olivia Nuzzi, who inbetween some good work has had a somewhat odd path to her career and used to get very, very angry about Hillary Clinton. The Buzzfeed piece doesn't cite her, but she apparently appears in several email chains and tweets chatting happily with Milo, Ann Coulter, etc. (who she calls 'a goddess') I just never trusted her.
