...And got away with it.
The I.R.S. has systematically rejected the applications for tax-exempt status of conservative organizations until the scandal grew so large that it forced the resignation of the tax commissioner Lois Lerner. But while one commissioner is gone, the illegal partisan practices of the I.R.S. have continued to grow under her latest successor, Charles Rettig, playing a key role in skewing the results of the last presidential election.
Tax-exempt foundations are barred from contributing their resources to election campaigns. There is no ambiguity in the law concerning this prohibition. The existence of such a regulation is meaningless, however, if it is not enforced. Consequently, this ban on campaign activities by "charitable" organizations didn't daunt Facebook billionaire and Democrat Party patron Mark Zuckerberg and his wife when they plotted a massive campaign to swing the 2020 presidential election in favor of the Democrat, Joe Biden. The Facebook couple donated $419.5 million to two leftwing tax-exempt foundations with the intention of tipping the result to Biden by launching "get-out-the-vote" campaigns focused on Democrat precincts in battleground states.
All these millions of Zuckerberg dollars, underwritten by American
taxpayers, drew no attention from I.R.S. Commissioner Charles Rettig or the
I.R.S. investigating teams whose responsibility it was to see that taxpayer
supported operations like the Zuckerberg "charities" were not
intervening in American election campaigns with the idea of shaping their
outcomes. [more...]
