IRS to Group: Give Up Free Speech, Get Approved

It has now been uncovered that the IRS not only tried to bribe a group to give up their right to free speech in exchange for tax exempt status, they also leaked confidential donor information to an opposing website.

The progressive-leaning investigative journalism group ProPublica says the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) office that targeted and harassed conservative tax-exempt groups during the 2012 election cycle gave the progressive group nine confidential applications of conservative groups whose tax-exempt status was pending.
