For the Record

FRC’s Tony Perkins: “Only under the Obama administration would the law protect the criminal and punish the innocent. Unfortunately, that’s been the effect of one of the most explosive IRS abuse cases in years. For months, the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) has tried to find the IRS agent responsible for leaking their confidential donor list to their biggest political opponent, the pro-homosexual Human Rights Campaign (HRC). Turns out, the agency knows who did it – but because of a loophole in the law, they don’t have to reveal it. That’s right – the same part of the IRS code that outlaws the crime this person committed also protects his identity. … Of course, the IRS’ refusal to cooperate is no surprise, especially since the same office that committed the crime was under the corrupt direction of Lois Lerner, author of the anti-conservative crackdown that denied so many organizations’ tax-exempt status. It will take the Justice Department’s involvement to hold the guilty accountable. And based on the Obama DOJ’s pattern of lawlessness, I don’t think many people are holding their breath.”
