100 Percent of Groups Audited by IRS Were Conservative

Rep. Dave Camp: 100 Percent of Groups Audited by IRS Were Conservative
“We now know that the IRS targeted not only right-leaning applicants, but also right-leaning groups that were already operating as 501(c)(4)s,” Mr. Camp said in a statement. “At Washington, DC’s direction, dozens of groups operating as 501(c)(4)s were flagged for IRS surveillance, including monitoring of the groups’ activities, websites and any other publicly available information. Of these groups, 83% were right-leaning. And of the groups the IRS selected for audit, 100 percent were right-leaning.”

Dems Want IRS to Target More Groups
Several incumbent Democratic senators are urging the Internal Revenue Service to more aggressively go after outside nonprofit groups that are pouring money into attack ads in their races. One of the groups they are targeting is Americans for Prosperity, funded by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, which has spent nearly $30 million on campaign ads to defeat Democrats in November, reports The Hill.
