Rep Scott Garrett Hits Back on IRS’ Non-Answers
Sep 18, 2014
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ), Chairman of the Congressional Constitution Caucus, along with six of his colleagues sent a follow-up letter to IRS Commissioner John Koskinen today after the IRS Commissioner refused to address a number of concerns the Members have about news of the recent IRS dismissal agreement with the Freedom from Religion Foundation.
Within 30 days of receiving the letter, the Members requested that the following be provided:
Any communications, from July 1, 2012 to the present, regarding the subject matter of my August 25th letter, including any documents related to, or relevant to the Freedom from Religion Foundation, PARC, or the Johnson Amendment. You should regard relevancy as broadly as federal law permits, including, but not limited, to any internal communications, communications with outside groups, communications with the White House or other executive branch agencies.
Any communications or documents, from August 25th to the present, related to preparing your response to my August 25th, 2014 letter including, but not limited to, any internal communications, communications with outside groups, communications with the White House or other executive branch agencies.
Any communications or documents, from July 1, 2012 to the present, related to the activities of PARC and the 99 religious organizations under investigation that are referenced in your September 5th letter. Where necessary to preserve the confidentiality of the taxpayers under investigation, you may redact confidential taxpayer information or other information that may specifically distinguish the taxpayer. Your response should include all relevant communications and documents including, but not limited to, any internal communications, communications with outside groups, communications with the White House or other executive branch agencies.
Where necessary, to preserve attorney-client privilege, you may redact privileged information and provide a standard privilege log.
Please provide the names and positions of all people who spent any time as part of, or on behalf of, PARC.
Also, a number of previous questions (asked in my August 25th letter) remained un-answered and can be addressed by you, rather than the Department of Justice.
Please provide answers to questions 4, 5 & 6 from our previous letter dated August 25, 2014.

This is a scandal much bigger than Watergate yet the liberal mainstream media refuses to even acknowledge the story.
Historically a free press that reported facts was an important part of of the American political system.
A politicized liberal media ius largely responsible for the social, political and economic decline in America. Instead of reporting the facts of a story and allowing Americans debate those facts the liberal press editorialized and spits out it’s version of a story and reports it as news…
The Social Media brainwashed public accepts the liberal media’s version of the story without questioning their motivations or the facts.
We are living in a 1950’s sci-fi movie where people’s brains are controlled by some mad scientist.
How could we, as freedom loving Americans, have allowed it to go this far?
not quite a 1950’s sci-fi movie… more of a Soviet era Pravda-informed society
