Congress needs to step in and impose mandatory minimum prison sentences for any IRS employee that releases private information, accidental or not.
In other words, said disclosures may well have been accidents, and not politically motivated. But because it doesn’t look like a real scandal unless people go to prison, Adams wants to retroactively criminalize honest mistakes.
We also know, courtesy of John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky, that a Minnesota election for U.S. Senate was decided by voter fraud in 2008.
No, we don’t know that. If you follow the link you’re told that 243 people were charged with voting illegally (i.e. they were ex-felons who hadn’t had their voting rights restored), and if you research the question further you learn that those cases were spread over a number of years — there’s no evidence that they all voted in the 2008 Senate race, much less that they all voted for the same candidate. Nor is there any evidence of conspiracy or collusion, just scattered cases of ex-felons voting without first going through the process of reinstating their voting rights. But even if every single one of those ex-felons had voted for Al Franken it wouldn’t have made a difference in the result, which was decided by 312 votes.
“Adams wants to retroactively criminalize honest mistakes.”
Did he say anything about it being retroactive? And it isn’t an honest mistake to purposefully leak confidential documents to Democrat front groups like ProPublica.
“No, we don’t know that. If you follow the link you’re told that 243 people were charged with voting illegally”
At least you admit that voter fraud happens. Finally. But then you claim it doesn’t matter if it happens continuously over a long period of time. Crazy.
We need integrity in the system. Relying on the good nature of Democrats not to abuse the system isn’t acceptable because as we all know Democrat’s grasp of ethics is tenuous at best. And to be fair, I don’t want Republicans taking up Democrat tactics.
I’m ok with the employee getting fired and permanently barred from positions of responsibility in the federal government, if it should turn out to be an accidental release of information.
In other words, said disclosures may well have been accidents, and not politically motivated.
The fact that the Obama administration shows no interest in investigating this affair indicates it is politically motivated.
The fact that those who abused their power in the IRS and elsewhere in government are facing no consequences tells me the regime wants more of the same.
And meanwhile the leftist sycophants continue to deny that these are real scandals.
From the delay of the findings from the initial report to the Obama administration’s actions after the scandal broke, it shows culpability especially when you consider that the IRS is still going after Obama’s critics.
