Another IRS Scandal - seize 60 million healthcare records

Posted: May 19, 2013

Wow. That's about all I can say, except I thought Moscow was a lot colder. It's pretty balmy today, so I might drive over to Red Square.

Terrible malfeasance, but the following should be noted:

23. No appropriate IRS supervisory personnel never [sic] approved nor authorized this seizure of third parties’ medical records.
24. No appropriate Department of Justice supervisory personnel ever approved nor authorized this seizure of third parties’ medical records.

The following #25-27 is even more important - Truthhurts

This is definitely CRIMINAL and heads better roll over this.

25. No federal magistrate ever approved or authorized this seizure of third parties’ medical records.

26. No federal district court judge ever approved or authorized this seizure of third parties’ medical records.

27. To this date, the IRS refuses to return any of the records, identify the accurate names of the individuals who took the records, kept the records or reviewed the records, return the records, or take any remedial action of any kind for this extraordinary violation of established Fourth Amendment rights of more than 10,000,000 Americans and 1,000,000 Californians in more than 60,000,000 different records stolen, searched and seized.

so far the only hits on Google with this report reads like a comprehensive Who's Who? list of fringe media outlets. The story does not appear to have spouted legs yet and migrated over to the middle or other side....always a cause to pause in my estimation. Then there's the unnamed healthcare company plaintiff working tirelessly on behalf of it's class action litigants and the 15 unnamed agents beyond the IRS behemoth defendant in the action. Unnamed is another red flag for me. Finally, one of the most vocal on this has been birther matriarch Orly Taitz. That's a three-strike situation in my book.

Exactly! Thank you. - nm

Have they seized other records of other newspapers? Have they seized private citizen records? This government gets scarier (sp) every week.

I believe this is all over GAS, OIL, and other energy sources like solar, geothermal, etc. since I read the BLM's own admission that Nevada is one of the "most favorable" states for all of the above. Then they also admitted how some land they will sell to oil and gas producers and other land they will lease to the same.So, will they use strong arm tactics like they did in the Bundy Bungle with semi-automatic weapons, dogs and tasers to seize the land from the land owners? This is absolutely ...

healthiest half of the population consumes only 3% of health care costs. The only alternative would appear to be taxpayer subsidies. It is next to impossible, politically, to take away freebees once in place. Income redistribution continues to increase. The 2010 health law, also known as Obamacare, forced insurers to sell coverage to anyone, at the same price, regardless of their risk of incurring big claims. That provision was popular. Not so were rules requiring nearly everyone to have ins ...

Discussion last night regarding Hillary's falls and twitches and Dr. Ben Carson said thorough complete current medical records of ALL candidates should be given to the public.

Okay, I want to know the health of both candidates, especially poor deluded Hildabeast. I mean how can anyone continue to lie and have believed that the FBI director cleared her regarding her lies and not have some kind of a mental illness like denial or maybe delusions of grandeur. At any rate, I have to think that she has some brain issues, such as remembering, etc. Is she going to let Billy boy govern and she is only a pretty bauble in her neverending pants suits.

This ruling is only for Section 215 of the Patriot Act. It was to expire in June.The EFF (first paragragh) is the one everyone was outraged about and this is the one that will probably be allowed to expire. It’s the authority that the NSA, with the FBI’s help, has interpreted to allow the U.S. government to vacuum up the call records of millions of innocent people. It’s also been the focus of most of the NSA reform efforts in Congress over the last year and ...

I think it is because it will show a cozy financial relationship with Russia as evidenced by Trump's efforts to make sure the GOP platform did not include support for the Russian-invaded Ukraine.

There is someone around me who I believe gains access to my bank and phone records. I have no proof, only my instincts which I do trust. What I want to know is this: Is there a way to only give out a masked phone number when I apply for jobs and do business with places? One that cannot be breached by someone calling and pretending to be me or otherwise convincing someone to give the information? In other words, a service like this that does not store my info, so the ...

The disinformation came in the form of a Russian-fed dossier written by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele.

IRS Fallout: The Real Scandal Is Secret Money Influencing US Elections Ari Berman on May 14, 2013 - 12:24 PM ET The IRS is under siege for investigating conservative political groups applying for tax-exempt status. But the real problem wasn’t that the IRS was too aggressive. It was that the agency focused on the wrong people—“none of those groups were big spenders on political advertising; most were local Tea Party organizations with shoestring budgets,” writes The ...

(REUTERS) In a wide-ranging request for documents and analysis, President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team asked the Department of Homeland Security last month to assess all assets available for border wall and barrier construction.

And it asked whether federal ...

With Washington gripped by a trio of exploding scandals this week – from Benghazi to government spying on news outlets to thug tactics by the Internal Revenue Service – Senate Democrats seem to be hoping that if they just yell loud enough then voters will overlook a key role they played in at least one of them.
