Conservative group’s lawsuit targets IRS employees personally

Conservative group’s lawsuit targets IRS employees personally. “True the Vote is not only suing the IRS, but also taking action against the IRS employees who participated in the harassment of the voter education and election monitoring organization. Those employees could personally be held liable to pay damages that would be established in litigation.” If they were just doing what they were told, they now got a reason to reveal who told ’em…

  • Maybe they can get sum stimulus money to cover their personal liabilities for infringing upon the rights of private citizens.

    Here's hoping once the gavel falls those who where involved in this are left penniless and wearing federally issued clothing. Starting with Holder, then to the hag who took the 5th. We all know president quagmire isn't going to take responsibility for this and will expect the minions to do the one thing he wants. Fall on their swords.

  • This is a wonderful development. Until someone starts making these corrupt government officials PERSONALLY accountable, nothing will change. Having a few useful deomcrat idiots having their lives ruined and going to jail will serve to warn the rest as well as the RINOs that are as corrupt as the dems to behave too. As an added benefit, all these SOBs have no morals and will gladly sell out their comrades to save their own skin. So starting this kind of thing will really bring out the truth.

  • It's a good strategy unless the government indemnifies the IRS employees, which would allow them to not have to worry about a personal criminal complaint, if I understand the process correctly.

    • That should not be allowed. The Government should not have the right to do things either collectively or through individuals to citizens and then protect itself from litigation. That is tyrannical.

      • I don't know how it works in all government jobs, but I know a member of the Armed Forces cannot sue the government.

      • Tyrannical is what the IRS is all about, Kimmy. This is really nothing new, just a bit more focused. If we could all sue individual IRS agents in their personal capacity every time they violated someone's Constitutional rights, there would be nobody left. Which would, of course, would be wonderful.

  • Now how about a lawsuit that targets Federal Reserve employees personally, and force them to give our gold back.

    • I'm thinking of a lawsuit that targets a dunce named jcrowley. Maybe we can force him to say something relevant and intelligent.

      • I don't think you can sue Crowley for being a product of a shitty public education system & being part of the self esteem crowd.

      • You can't order a rock to think, no matter how hard the court may try....Nice thought but with Creepy Crowley it will always be the same three things..Look up moron in a dictionary, Crowley's picture is there next to the definition.

  • yeah the nazi underlings tried that defense at nurnberg, too.

    gotta hold people individually accountable.

    just like a "CEO" that comes in with guaranteed millions in salary, millions in bonuses, then tens of millions in stock options - regardless of what the performance of the company is - these people need to get cleaned out of the system, they are perverting and destroying it.

  • Hey man; "What's good for the Goose, is good for the Gander!" It's about time these libturds realized that there are two sides to any coin.

  • Brilliant! I am sick and tired of the run-around. I am willing to accept a defense of "my boss told me to do it", but I want the name of that boss and the details of how it came to be. AND I want the worker to be prohibited from ever holding another government job. Period.
