The Internal Revenue Service has located 6,924 documents potentially related to the targeting of Tea Party conservatives, two years after the group Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit for them.

The watchdog group intended to find records regarding how the IRS selected individuals and organizations for audits that were requesting nonprofit tax status.

The agency will not say when it will make the documents available to the public.

"At this time, the Service is unable to provide an estimate regarding when it will complete its review of the potentially responsive documents," the agency said. "The Service will begin producing any non-exempt, responsive documents by March 10, 2017, and, if necessary, continue to produce non-responsive records on a bi-weekly basis."

Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, is calling on President Trump to clean house at the agency.

"The corruption at the IRS is astounding," Fitton said in a statement. "Our attorneys knew that there were more records to be searched but the Obama IRS ignored this issue for years. President Trump needs to clean house at the IRS as quickly as possible."

FAIRTAX AMERICANS, it's time to stand up and speak out. Do not be timid, do not be afraid that if you do someone will accuse you of destroying the middle class, or supporting the rich at the expense of everyone else, or violating the US Constitution. None of this is true as we know, so please speak up and lets work to end the Infernal IRS and the evil income tax.

When the Director of the FBI tells Congress as Jim Comey apparently did today at some event, "there is no absolute privacy in the United States" as if this is something to crow about, it's time to take back our country by taking back our money.
