Vanguard IRS Complaint Evidence

Donload graphicThe Anonymous IRS 13909 complaint against the Vanguard Non-profit was given to the Davisite by the Flatlander. The Flatlander received them anonymously through the US Post.  The IRS submission contained 14 pages of supporting evidence as referenced in the cover letter. and the postings contained on the pages seem to generally support the allegations on the 13909 form. All 14 pages are available for download below.

"During this period, Mr. Greenwald repeatedly posted to a Facebook group whose primary purpose was to promote the campaign of Dean Johansson for Yolo County DA in the June 2018 election. On this Facebook group, he repeatedly posted links to the Davis Vanguard that promoted Dean Johansson and criticized his opponent, the incumbent DA Jeff Reisig. In one instance (May 9), he promised a "big story coming out in the morning that could impact this race." As promised, he posted that story (an anti-Reisig story) to the Davis Vanguard the next day and then posted a link to that story to the Johansson Facebook group. This and other delivered-on promises suggest that Mr. Greenwald was using the Davis Vanguard to promote the campaign of Dean Johansson with knowledge and intent to affect the race." (13909 Complaint form)

It is notable that all of the Greenwald postings are from a "closed group" that only Johansson volunteers would have access to.

It is also notable that the submitter checked a box on the IRS 13909 Complaint form stating, "I am concerned that I might face retaliation or retribution if my identity is disclosed."

    If I were a bettin’ man, I’d bet that the IRS won’t pursue the complaint beyond perhaps issuing a “Your concerns are important to us…” letter. The agency is understaffed, and there’s no money to be recovered in this matter (blood/turnip) even if a determination is made that violations occurred.
    Years ago I was an officer on the board of a small non-profit, and a complaint was filed with the IRS claiming that the organization was improperly characterizing unrelated business income. The IRS scheduled a site examination and spent about half a day meticulously going through our books and asking questions. As he packed up his things he said that we might need to declare a small portion of our income taxable, but he’d need to review everything before making a determination. Months went by with no word, then came a letter asking us to choose between giving them more time for review or holding them to the statutory time limit for determination. There was language suggesting that the latter choice might result in a less favorable outcome, so we said, “Sure, take your time.” Those letters came once or twice a year for awhile until we finally decided to follow up with the agent. He admitted that his laptop with all the information he had collected had experienced a hard drive failure and that there was no backup, and he’d since been transferred to another branch of the agency. We never heard another word from the IRS.
