Obama Critic, Wayne Allyn Root, Says He Was Audited By The IRS For Political Purposes and He Can Prove It

Wayne Allyn Root is famous for having been in the same graduating class as Obama at the Columbia Law School, and having testified to the fact that neither he, nor anyone he knew, every once saw Obama on campus, or in any classes.

So yeah, I'll bet you'll be surprised to know he was audited by the IRS.

From Ace:

Root was audited in 2011. He got a call from the IRS, in which the agent told him about his (Root's) political views -- something that's not supposed to happen, obviously. 

He spent thousands of dollars on his defense and prevailed in Tax Court in 2012 -- at which time he was informed he was being audited again, something his tax lawyer said he'd never heard of before. Then he began FOIA'ing the IRS to find out what was going on. 

By law, the IRS has 30 days to comply. They stalled and refused for 14 months. The question is why would a government agency disobey the law for 13 months? Now come the political and criminal revelations. 

The IRS is supposed to be totally nonpolitical, as it must be in a free and fair democratic society. Do you know what my IRS tax file says? "SENSITIVE CASE." 

Do you know the date "SENSITIVE CASE" was written on my tax file? The week Lois Lerner testified in Congress. 

The only thing "SENSITIVE" about my case is that I'm a conservative political columnist and commentator often critical of the president. The only context where “sensitive” applies to me is “POLITICALLY SENSITIVE." 

Why would a citizen’s tax file be tied to his politics? Why would the IRS know my politics? Why would a normal random audit be classified as "SENSITIVE?" ... 

The reason it may have taken the IRS fourteen months to turn my IRS files over to Judicial Watch is that they state a United States senator from Oregon was involved. At the time both senators from Oregon were Democrats. 

But only one, Ron Wyden, was chairman of the Senate Finance Committee with oversight over...the IRS. Could Ron Wyden have been the Democrat senator involved in my case? 

If so, why was a U.S. senator involved in a "normal random audit?" Why was an Oregon Senator involved in the audit of a Nevada small businessman? 

Since when do United States Senators get involved in IRS audits?
