The IRS systematically targeted Tea Party and conservative groups for extra scrutiny to suppress them before the 2012 election β€” documented evidence
🟒 CONFIRMED

In 2013, the Treasury Inspector General confirmed the IRS used politically biased criteria to target organizations with 'Tea Party' or 'patriot' in their names for intensive scrutiny of tax-exempt applications. IRS Director Lois Lerner apologized, then pled the Fifth before Congress and was held in contempt. The DOJ closed the investigation with no charges despite finding 'substantial evidence of mismanagement.'
