"The IRS has admitted wrongdoing and agreed to pay a $50,000 settlement to a conservative group after confidential information from the group’s tax returns about its donors was published on the website of a political opponent.

 

A federal court ordered the U.S. government to pay the settlement to the National Organization for Marriage, a group that opposes same-sex marriage. The group sued the IRS last year after tax information from a 2008 form was leaked and ended up being published in 2012 by the Human Rights Campaign, which supports gay rights.

The group’s chairman John Eastman said in a statement Tuesday that he is thankful that the IRS is being held accountable after a “long and arduous” process.

 

“Thanks to a lot of hard work, we’ve forced the IRS to admit that they in fact were the ones to break the law and wrongfully released this confidential information,” he said."

fine, this is the first of several similar suits.  Now, will DoJ prosecute the leaker?  Will the IRS fire him?   This is not the leak of a government's misdoings.  Its a leak of personal date demanded by the government -- some of which might be used in identity theft.

 

I won't hold my breath waiting for Holder to do the right thing.  Oh, an illegal act by a civil servant ends his pension benefits on the first day of the illegal act.

TRUTH -- THE NEW HATE SPEECH!
