Suspicions raised that IRS is targeting Jan. 6 protesters

Democrats and Republicans simply do not agree on whether taxpayers should be asked to shell out more in order to reduce government borrowing. Thatís why Congress and the White House couldnít agree on a plan to avoid automatic spending cuts. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh)

From the Washington Examiner:

Recalling the scandalous Obama-era IRS targeting of tea party organizers, a legal watchdog has gone to court to demand that the tax agency reveal if it is back in the spying business — this time on Jan. 6 Capitol riot participants and supporters.

In a newly revealed lawsuit, Washington-based Judicial Watch speculated that the IRS targeted those involved in a possible punishment over President Donald Trump’s promise of sweeping pardons for hundreds of rioters who halted the Electoral College election process of Joe Biden on Jan. 6, 2021.
