The source is my memory of what was going on 10 years ago. My memory is great.
And this is why you were downvoted By for “facts”
You just got taken out to the woodshed again and had your fanny paddled:
IRS Apologizes For Aggressive Scrutiny Of Conservative Groups October 27, 20173:08 PM ET Peter Overby Enlarge this image The Justice Department has entered settlements for two cases related to IRS scrutiny of groups seeking tax-exempt status. Karen Bleier/AFP/Getty Images In a legal settlement that still awaits a federal judge's approval, the IRS "expresses its sincere apology" for mistreating a conservative organization called Linchpins of Liberty — along with 40 other conservative groups — in their applications for tax-exempt status. And in a second case, NorCal Tea Party Patriots and 427 other groups suing the IRS also reached a "substantial financial settlement" with the government. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the two settlements Thursday. The Justice Department quoted him as saying of the IRS activity: "There is no excuse for this conduct. Hundreds of organizations were affected by these actions, and they deserve an apology from the IRS. We hope that today's settlement makes clear that this abuse of power will not be tolerated."
Now the Administration is claiming that "the pause was always the plan."
How stupid do they think people are? I mean, we all know how stupid his loyal followers are, (that will repeat this crap), but how stupid do they think everyone else is?
After years of denial, the IRS has admitted it targeted conservative groups during the Obama administration and punished those groups for purely political reasons. In a historic settlement, a judge this week approved a plan for the Internal Revenue Service to pay restitution to hundreds of conservative groups. It is the first time the IRS has been forced to pay a settlement of this kind. The IRS admitted to unconstitutionally targeting groups based on those group’s political philosophy and agreed to pay $3.5 million to the groups. For years the Obama administration denied that its agencies, including the IRS, did any thing wrong but the evidence was overwhelming. Those groups were harassed with intrusive inspections and denial of non-profit status. Faced with a new administration that promised to “drain the swamp” of corruption, the IRS now admits its made changes so that political targeting can’t occur in the future. “It shows that when a government agency desires to target citizens based on their viewpoints, a price will be paid,” said Edward Greim, the lawyer who led the class action case in federal court in Cincinnati. The groups, which included Tea Party organizations, also received a “sincere apology” from the IRS, and the government agreed to a declaratory judgment that “it is wrong” to scrutinize a tax return because of a taxpayer’s name or political philosophy, the report said. The settlement is historic “I’m not frankly aware of any other class-action lawsuit against the IRS for anything where the IRS paid money,” Mark Meckler, who as president of Citizens for Self Governance funded the class-action challenge, previously told The Washington Times when the settlement was submitted for final approval a few weeks ago.
No Criminal Charges For Senior IRS Executive Lois Lerner Lois Lerner, then-senior executive of the IRS, allegedly “put in place new processes that guaranteed even more delay,” Greim told the Times, referring to Tea Party groups’ attempts to secure tax-exempt status. But Lerner denied that she encouraged the targeting. In fact, a U.S. Justice Department review cleared her and called her one of the “heroes of the saga,” saying she attempted to stop it.

Nowhere in the investigation findings will you find the made up figures that 500 conservative groups were targeted vs. 2 liberal groups. Because it’s a flat out lie. Hence, downvotes and credibility lost.

Professional? Of course not. Responsible? Of course not. "Nice"? No.
One of VERY, VERY few Trumparian things that I find myself being a LITTLE amused by?
Yes.
It's also a bit rich for Leavitt to talk about "honesty" in regard to this "matter of policy":
"In January 2025, Leavitt disclosed in 17 amended campaign filings $326,370 in unpaid campaign debts she had failed to disclose for several years. Roughly $200,000 of the debt was composed of illicit campaign donations made in excess of campaign finance limits she never paid back, in violation of campaign finance laws."
Now the Administration is claiming that "the pause was always the plan."
How stupid do they think people are? I mean, we all know how stupid his loyal followers are, (that will repeat this crap), but how stupid do they think everyone else is?
Laughable.
However stupid they think you are they are being far too kind.
The plan has been fair trade the entire time. He said the same thing on Oprahs couch 40 years ago as he said on the campaign trail on 2016 as he said yesterday.

Can you explain the P value yet? Or did they not teach you that while getting your masters online?

Careful, if you want to open that box you could end up with every Democrat politician in America in prison.

The source is his desire for responses. That's how trolls work.
Kind of pathetic, really, but there it is.
Dude stop with that troll BS. 96% of posts are sincere. Just block me - am tired of reading your stuff. Thanks in advance - you bring nothing to the table.
this is actually perversely impressive. Trump says that if you came here illegally by breaking US laws and shouldn't be on US soil....
...your illegal alien status is perfectly fine and ICE won't bother you... if you work on a farm or a hotel. They'll even reward your illegal presence on US soil by working with you on a path to a permanent stay.
Shows what morans you all are. Hope you feel stupid after parroting his lines for years about mass deportations, punishing criminals and simply wanting to enforce the laws of the United States of America.
That's not the m'aga position anymore. Commence swinging in the wind! Another 180 degree position change is required of you to stay loyal to Donald J Trump!
You absolute idiots.
Trump’s message to illegal immigrants:
If you’re a farmer or a hotel worker, you’re good to stay for now.
