Justice delayed: Conservative groups finally receive settlement checks in Obama era IRS overreach

Tea Party Express rally, 

Rockford IL, 2010

Justice delayed is justice denied.

But at least some patriotic groups received compensation for unjust attacks from the IRS.

The mainstream media of course is ignoring this story because it doesn't fit their narrative that the Barack Obama administration were "the good guys."

From OneNewsNow:

A tea party activist is pleased that the IRS is finally paying up after illegally targeting conservative groups during the Obama administration.

The federal government has been cutting checks to 100 conservative groups as part of a settlement in the class-action lawsuit NorCal v. United States, ending a five-year legal battle.

President Obama famously said there was not a "smidgen" of evidence that the IRS unfairly targeted tea party groups, but hundreds of such groups described long delays and intrusive scrutiny --- proven to be illegal --- such as demanding membership information and religious beliefs.

A 2013 inspector general's report found the IRS flagged tax-exempt filings based on a conservative-sounded name, such as "patriots" or "tea party," and the applications sat untouched for months.

Yet leftists complain when I call the conservative side "patriots." Hmm.
