Maggie Gallagher: The IRS Got Tricked Into Leaking NOM's Tax Return
"The IRS is claiming — and I think it is plausible — that low-level employees found a clever way to use their low-level job to influence (they hoped) a U.S. election. Have they been identified and fired? Because otherwise this becomes no longer a low-level problem. (You may recall that a low-level employee also released NOM’s private tax-return information to a guy claiming to be a NOM employee, who then posted it on the Internet.)" - Maggie Gallagher, writing for the National Review four days before NOM announced its lawsuit. If NOM's own co-founder admits that the IRS didn't release the return on purpose, their lawsuit is laughable.
