I'd love to know the numbers of applications to being flagged for both sides. We will probably never know, but supposedly the progressive groups were eventually able to get tax exempt status while the conservatives did not.
Fair question. Many conservative groups got through though.
Impossible to know all of the details but the audit report did note that there were some where additional information was requested. Some applications were withdrawn. Some applications were not followed up on from those requesting non profit status. The report did note that the additional request appeared overburdensome though.
How is it the states decision? If I lied to Bank of America, shouldn't Bank of America come after me, not the state?
We've discussed before here, but district courts are the ones who have the ability to go after people or entities for disgorgement of ill gotten gains. The purpose of the law is to prevent others from doing the same thing.
If the bank decides not to pursue legal actions, and there are many reasons why they wouldn't, a district court can step in.
They're all vindictive, some are just more in your face about it while others talk about our hopes and dreams and are vindictive behind the scenes.
Maybe. But that's why you want good people around the president who can be a voice of reason and would block them from doing anything crazy.
