Excerpts via the amended complaint: In stark contrast to how the IRS, with the encouragement of the President, Democrat members of Congress, and many in the media treated Plaintiffs, organizations with mission statements that are plainly political in nature, and which openly admit to the electioneering nature of their mission, had their applications for tax-exempt status approved by the IRS in a matter of months. For example, Missourians Organizing for Reform has as its mission “[s]upport [for] progressive politicians.” Missourians Organizing for Reform’s application for tax-exempt status was granted after nine months.

When this Foundation finally filed for tax-exempt status, its application was granted in only six weeks and, amazingly, made retroactive to April 30, 2008, the date of its incorporation. The favorable determination letter for the Foundation was signed by Defendant Lerner.
The Foundation did not qualify for any of the exceptions that are required to be present when retroactive tax status is granted. Moreover, the Foundation engaged in activities in a foreign country (Kenya) and had the name of a presidential candidate in its name, both factors that would ordinarily have triggered requests for additional information from the IRS rather than an expedited determination. [...]
Subsequent to the issuance of the Interim Report, the House Committee discovered that Defendants Shulman, Lerner, Ingram, Flax and Kindell repeatedly used nonofficial, unsecure, personal email accounts to conduct official IRS business, including sending tax return information and official classified documents to non-agency email addresses, and that Defendant Lerner alone accumulated more than 1,600 pages of emails and documents related to official IRS business in a nonofficial, unsecure, personal email account, including almost 30 pages of confidential taxpayer information.
