The Senate Finance Committee has asked Barack Obama to turn over all communications with the IRS

  According to this story the Senate Finance Committee has sent a letter to the President asking him to turn over all communications he and his aides have had with the IRS since 2010.

Senate Republicans on Thursday asked President Obama to turn over all communications he and his aides have had with the IRS since 2010, hoping to find out whether the tax collection agency shared private taxpayer information with political operatives at the White House.

The request, made in a letter obtained by The Washington Times, is signed by Senate Finance Chairman Orrin G. Hatch and all 13 other Republicans on the committee, and is addressed specifically to Mr. Obama, saying they want to see if his employees broke the law by acquiring or sharing private information.

  Here is part of what that letter said:

“We have an obligation to conduct oversight of the federal government’s administration of our tax laws,” the lawmakers wrote. “As part of this oversight, we are seeking to determine the degree to and manner in which the Internal Revenue Service shares taxpayer information with the Executive Office of the President.”

 If you are a supporter of Barack Obama and you think there is nothing to the IRS targeting scandal, and it you think this is nothing but a political witch-hunt, you would do well to remember the IRS was ordered to pay $50,000 for illegally giving out a group’s donor list which was eventually made public, so there is a history here.

  And of course the IRS admitted to improperly scrutinizing conservative groups, and it should also be noted that Harry Reid somehow knew what was in Mitt Romney’s tax returns…

  We can only hope the outbreak of ultra-convenient computer crashes was detained within the IRS and did not also progress to the White House. But then again Barack Obama, as in the case of Fast and Furious, will probably claim Executive Privilege and seal the documents.
