发帖数: 29846 | 1 Top Internal Revenue Service Obamacare official Sarah Hall Ingram discussed
confidential taxpayer information with senior Obama White House officials,
according to 2012 emails obtained by the House Oversight and Government
Reform Committee and provided to The Daily Caller.
Lois Lerner, then head of the IRS Tax Exempt Organizations division, also
received an email alongside White House officials that contained
confidential information.
Ingram attempted to counsel the White House on a lawsuit from religious
organizations opposing Obamacare’s contraception mandate. Email exchanges
involving Ingram and White House officials — including White House health
policy advisor Ellen Montz and deputy assistant to the president for health
policy Jeanne Lambrew — contained confidential taxpayer information,
according to Oversight.
The emails provided to Oversight investigators by the IRS had numerous
redactions with the signifier “6103.”
Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code forbids a federal employee from “
disclos[ing] any return or return information obtained by him in any manner
in connection with his service as such an officer or an employee.”
Federal employees who illegally disclose confidential taxpayer information
could face five years in prison.
“Thanks, David. Thanks for the information on [6103],” White House
official Lambrew wrote to IRS official David Fish in a July 20, 2012
exchange. “I am still hoping to understand whether the 50 percent rule is
moot if the organization does not offer goods and services for sale to the
general public. Do we assume that organizations like [6103] do offer goods
and services for sale?”
Another email from Montz to Ingram and others refers to the “[6103] memo”
and the “[6103] letter” while discussing organizations that are not
required to file 990′s.
Ingram appeared before Rep. Darrell Issa’s House Oversight Committee
Wednesday and claimed she could not recall a document that contained
confidential taxpayer information.
“Well one of the areas of interest is there’s a significant redaction that
quotes the statute 6103. Do you know who is underneath that blackout?”
Issa asked Ingram.
“I don’t recall the document so I can’t help you with what’s underneath
that redaction,” Ingram said.
“Her response has not put concerns to rest,” Oversight staffer Hill said.
”This caught people’s eye.”
Issa has requested unredacted copies of the emails, citing a prohibition
from misusing Section 6103 “for the purpose of concealing information from
a congressional inquiry.”
Ingram headed the scandal-ridden IRS office responsible for overseeing tax-
exempt nonprofit groups before leaving to head the agency’s office in
charge of Obamacare implementation.
An IRS voice mail message declined to comment on any media inquiries during
the government shutdown, citing law. | a*********a
