"Embattled Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner and an attorney
in the Federal Election Commission’s general counsel’s office appear to
have twice colluded to influence the record before the FEC’s vote in the
case of a conservative non-profit organization, according to e-mails
unearthed by the House Ways and Means Committee....
The
correspondence suggests the discrimination of conservative groups
extended beyond the IRS and into the FEC, where an attorney from the
agency’s enforcement division in at least one case sought and
received tax information about the status of a conservative group, the
American Future Fund, before recommending that the commission prosecute
it for violations of campaign-finance law. [National Review]
