Confirmed: Lois Lerner Gave Confidential Tea Party Tax Info to FEC

In May 2013, Lois Lerner, the director of the IRS division that singled out conservative groups, told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee,
“I have done nothing wrong.”

But that was in May…
Today we found out that Lois Lerner gave confidential Tea Party tax information to the FEC… while at the same time denying them tax exempt status.
The Examiner reported:

The Internal Revenue Service shared highly confidential tax information of several Tea Party groups in the IRS scandal with the Federal Election Commission, a clear violation of federal law, according to newly obtained emails.

The public watchdog group Judicial Watch told Secrets Thursday that it was former scandal boss Lois Lerner who shared the information on groups including the American Future Fund and the American Issues Project.

The emails obtained by Judicial Watch show that the IRS, which was considering the tax status of the groups, gave the FEC the tax returns of the groups, including income, expenditures and staff pay. The emails also revealed the exact wording of the prying political questions the IRS wanted the groups to reveal, such as their goals and the requests for brochures and ads.

Jail her now.
