On Tax Day, RNC Sues The IRS

On Tax Day, the Republican National Committee announced it is suing the IRS  for stonewalling Freedom of Information Act request for documents about the tax agency’s politicized scrutiny of conservative and Tea Party groups.

The RNC filed the request on May 21, 2013, in an attempt to expose the documents and emails surrounding agency’s process in handling applications of non-profit organizations such as conservative and Tea Party groups.

After the RNC filed the request, the IRS has requested several extensions, which has already delayed the release by 226 business days.
