State Department Emails Are Being Handled By Same Attorney Who Worked On Lois Lerner’s [VIDEO]

By Chuck Ross, Jun. 30, 2015, Daily Caller

The IRS attorney who worked to turn over Lois Lerner’s emails to congressional investigators now has a new gig, this time at a federal agency steeped in its own email controversy.

Catherine Duval now works at the State Department where she is in charge of that agency’s email productions, House Oversight member Trey Gowdy revealed during a hearing last Thursday. Prior to that, Duval worked as chief legal adviser to IRS commissioner John Koskinen.

IRS Confirms Illegals Can Get Back-Taxes Under Obama Amnesty

By Stephen Dinan, June 3, 2015, The Washington Times

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has confirmed to Congress that illegal immigrants granted amnesty under President Obama’s new programs could claim back refunds even when they never filed returns to pay their taxes in the first place.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, who had pressed Mr. Koskinen over the issue, released written responses Wednesday in which the commissioner admitted he’d botched the question earlier and, in fact, illegal immigrants granted the amnesty will now be able to claim refunds on tax returns they never even filed, thanks to the Earned Income Tax Credit.

“To clarify my earlier comments on EITC, not only can an individual amend a prior year return to claim EITC, but an individual who did not file a prior year return may file a return and claim EITC (subject to refund limitations under section 6511 of the Internal Revenue Code),” Mr. Koskinen said.

He insisted, however, that he doubts many illegal immigrants will take advantage of the loophole because they would have to be able to prove their earnings for those years they never filed returns.

Loretta Lynch Has A Lois Lerner Decision To Make

Attorney General Loretta Lynch
By Pete Kasperowicz, May 28, 2015 Washington Examiner

Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee have asked Attorney General Loretta Lynch for an update on whether she will pursue criminal charges against former IRS employee Lois Lerner for her role in the IRS targeting scandal.

The committee last year identified three possible criminal charges that could be brought against Lerner, and asked the Department of Justice to consider bringing those charges. At the time, the attorney general was Eric Holder, and the committee chairman was Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich.

The committee also said Lerner provided misleading statements to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration when it was investigating the scandal, and that Lerner may have exposed confidential taxpayer information in the course of her tenure at the IRS.

IRS Says Identity Thieves Accessed Tax Transcripts For More Than 100000 Taxpayers 

By Kelly Phillips Erb, May 26, 2015, Forbes.com

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced today that identity thieves have illegally accessed tax information for more than 100,000 taxpayers with unsuccessful attempts made on approximately 100,000 additional taxpayer accounts. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen delivered the news at a hastily arranged press conference this afternoon. The urgency, he indicated, was to alert taxpayers to the breach.

The unauthorized access to records occurred using the “Get Transcript” application, previously available on the IRS website. As a result, the transcript application was taken down late last week and will remain down until the problem is resolved. Currently, themessage on the IRS website reads:

The online Get Transcript service is currently unavailable. Transcripts may still be ordered using the Get Transcript by Mail service. We apologize for any inconvenience.

IRS Agent Was Talking To Howard Stern

Taxpayer's Call To IRS Accidentally Broadcast On Howards Stern's Radio Show

By Jim Smith, May 19, 2015, CBS Baltimore

BOSTON (CBS) – A Cape Cod woman says the IRS is to blame after her personal information was broadcast on the Howard Stern show. “No one should go through something like this,” she says.

The woman, who did not want her face shown or name used, says it all began when she called the IRS to iron out a tax issue.

“I started to receive phone calls and text messages from all over the country informing me that the information I was discussing with the IRS agent was being aired on the Howard Stern show.”

A portion of what she thought was a private call was in fact being transmitted via satellite to millions of listeners, including her personal phone number.

“As soon as I heard of this information I just started to quiver, and had what I would call an out of body experience,” she says. “I couldn’t believe it at first I thought it was a joke.”

The IRS agent was apparently on another line with the Stern show at the same time, but didn’t seem to realize he was on the air.
