Barack Obama's Executive Order 13522 – And The IRS Scandal

RedState's Labor Union Report has done fantastic work of make the case for a special prosecutor to look into the current IRS scandal – a case necessitated in great part by the collusion between the Obama administration and federal labor unions that was further enhanced by Obama Executive Order 13522.

Where do the anti-sequester, federal government workers-turned-protestors work? They work at the Internal Revenue Service–and they are unionized.

…The IRS & Executive Order 13522

In December 2009, during the first term of his presidency, in an effort to make the federal government more "union friendly," President Obama issued Executive Order 13522.

"Easy to read, hard to put down."

In short, as noted in 2011, Executive Order 13522 establishes "labor-management forums" between union bosses (who may or may not be federal employees) and federal agency management.

As part of the directives under Executive Order 13522, agency heads are to engage union bosses in "pre-decisional discussions" before decisions are made–and those discussions are to be in secret and outside the purview of the Freedom of Information Act:

"Pre-decisional discussions, by their nature, should be conducted confidentially among the parties to the discussions. This confidentiality is an essential ingredient in building the environment of mutual trust and respect necessary for the honest exchange of views and collaboration."

…The IRS Agents' Union

The National Treasury Employees Union (or NTEU) is a government union that represents 150,000 employees in 31 agencies and departments, including those tax collectors at the Internal Revenue Service.

…With regard to NTEU's total political expenditures for 2012, perhaps this graph helps explain NTEU's partisanship more clearly:

No Need For Special Prosecutor?

…Despite the fact that the President feels there is no need for a special prosecutor, as the IRS scandal continues to escalate, more questions will be raised than will be answered by Eric Holder's Justice Department or through a Congressional inquiry.

The questions that should be asked and answered do not stop with the convenient scapegoating of one already-leaving agency head, and a few "rogue" employees.

It will take a special prosecutor to get to the bottom of it.
