In the discussion thread: ALEC Hit With IRS Complaint Filed By Common Cause [View all]

23. Misleading headline and content. -- The filing of a complaint with the IRS is not an IRS complaint.

The complaint was filed by Common Cause. It is a Common Cause complaint.

The first part of the syllogism, "If the IRS could bring down Capone,"
does not mean that Common Cause can "bring down ALEC and/or Koch Bros."

Nothing requires the IRS to investigate. Nothing. Each and every one of us could file complaints with the IRS regarding ALEC and the IRS could still choose to do nothing.
