[NationalReview] 'The misconduct had stopped in May of 2012," White House press secretary Jay Carney told news hounds on Monday about the IRS's improper targeting of conservative groups. Not so, say two D.C. attorneys, each representing a number of conservative groups that -- after years of waiting and countless rounds of invasive questions -- have yet to receive recognition from the IRS.
The American Center for Law and Justice, headed by chief counsel Jay Sekulow, plans to file suit in federal court in the coming weeks on behalf of more than two dozen conservative groups that claim their harassment at the hands of the nation's tax authority continued long past the White House's purported end date -- and, for a number of them, continues still. Of the 27 organizations the ACLJ has represented to date, ten still have not received approval, two years after applying. Two others gave up. |
