" The apparent targeting of Catherine Engelbrecht by multiple federal
seems to have been malicious and vindictive as well as political.
Lois Lerner was able to stall the processing of the tax exemption
applications that Engelbrecht filed on behalf of a tea party
organization called King Street Patriots and a non-partisan election
integrity organization called True the Vote for years, but she could not
even order audits of taxpayers, much less make OSHA, BATF and FBI do
her bidding.
(Who DID order these organizations to go after Engelbrecht? Who oversees ALL of them? [clipper] )
"Shortly after filing IRS forms to establish 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4)
tax-exempt organizations, an assortment of federal entities – including
law enforcement agencies and a Congressman from Maryland, Elijah
Cummings – came knocking at the door. In nearly two decades of running
our small business, my husband and I have never dealt with any
government agency, outside of filing our annual tax returns. We had
never been audited, we had never been investigated, but all that changed
upon submitting applications for the non-profit statuses of True the
Vote and King Street Patriots. Since that filing in 2010, my private
businesses, my nonprofit organizations, and family have been subjected
to more than 15 instances of audit or inquiry by federal agencies."
