View MoreJack Smith’s Deeply Troubling Past MonicaCrowley The corrupt Biden DOJ is colluding with hatchet man Jack Smith and radical Soros DAs to railroad a former President who is also the leading candidate to be the next President. Their corruption is staggering. Their danger to the republic is unprecedented. IRS' admitted that it had targeted conservative groups for special scrutiny when determining tax-exempt status. Democrats interfered with the election On December 17, 2010, Tea Party Patriots applied for tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our sister organization, Tea Party Patriots Foundation, applied for tax exemption under section 501(c)(3). The IRS never acknowledged Tea Party Patriots’ application. Fourteen months later, in February 2012, the IRS sent exhaustive requests for more information about our activities. Tea Party Patriots responded with almost two boxes of documents. We heard nothing more until May 2013, when we learned from news reports that theIRS had targeted groups with “tea party” or “patriots” in their name. Tea Party Patriots quite naturally believed that we were in that targeted group.Even after admitting that it had targeted groups, and a TIGTA report detailed the abuses, the IRS still did not let up. In August 2013, the IRS requested yet more documents and information. It asked us to provide, for example, all fundraising communications for the 60 days before the November 6, 2012 election, and all materials that we used in various “Get Out the Vote” activities. That request made no sense under the current standards for evaluating non-profit applications. The regulations proposed three months later, however, explain the requests, as they include specific provisions classifying any mention of a candidate’s name within 60 days of an election and get-out-the-vote efforts as taxable political activity. We provided yet more boxes of documents to the IRS. Nevertheless, as of today, 3 years, 2 months, and 11 days after our application, we have not received a decision about our tax-exempt status. Two weeks ago, Tea Party Patriots Foundation finally received its tax-exempt status letter, a mere 1155 days after it applied. Let me be very clear: Tea Party Patriots does not engage in any political activities. We made a decision from the beginning not to engage in any political or campaign activities because we did not want to run afoul of the law – even though the law allows us to conduct some political activities. We have scrupulously avoided campaign and political activities since our incorporation, but we still have not been able to satisfy the IRS that we deserve our tax-exempt status. Over the past four years, Tea Party Patriots has assisted local organizations with activities that the IRS for five decades has not classed as political activity https://docs.house.gov/meetings/GO/GO28/20140227/101795/HHRG-113-GO28-Wstate-MartinJ-20140227.pdf
