House committee looks into the IRS seizure of 60 million medical records | The Daily Caller

Republican members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee are looking into allegations that the Internal Revenue Service seized 60 million medical records from a California health care provider.

“(T)he Committee on Energy and Commerce is investigating allegations that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), in the course of executing a search warrant at a California health care provider’s corporate headquarters in March 2011, improperly seized the personal medical records of millions of American citizens in possible violation of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution,” members of the committee wrote in a letter Tuesday to Acting IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel.

The letter to Werfel, which requires a response by June 25, comes on the heels of a lawsuit filed by an unnamed healthcare provider against the IRS in California Superior Court. The lawsuit alleged that 15 IRS agents improperly stole medical records during search of the facility in March 2011, according to a report about the incident from Court House News.

A liberal will be sure to come along to say that all 60 million WANT their medical records held by the IRS.

The IRS in the firing line...again. 3 scandals for one agency in the span of 1 month. That is not good. That is evidence that something is very very wrong.

Of course, the libturds of the USMB will post their already worn out "This is a phony Republican-created scandal" schtick.
