Tea Party groups forced to file through Soros funded Urban Institute

This smoking gun is going to be hard to explain away. Small tax exempts with $50,000 in annual receipts or less are required to file- not with the IRS but with the George Soros funded Urban Institute. According to US New and World Reports the Urban Institute donates 100% of it political contributions to Democrats. To put this in context suppose small liberal tax exempts were required to file with the Heritage Foundation which the Bush Administration had deemed a " trusted partner". The Urban Institute advocates for totally socialized medicine, carbon taxes and amnesty for illegal aliens. The Form 990, which the IRS directs exempt groups to file through the Urban Institute, provides the public with financial information about the group, and it also is used by the government to keep up to date with nonprofits and supposedly  prevent such organizations from abusing their tax-exempt status
This IRS directive was hidden in plain sight until WND called attention to it. Cleta Mitchell, attorney for George Will and a number of Tea Party group who were targeted by the IRS said,
"If true, this is a violation of federal law. And since most of the tea-party groups have annual revenues of [$50,000] or less, this would redirect their filings to a group whose mission is fundamentally at odds with tea-party organizations.”
She continued, “Federal law strictly prohibits the disclosure of confidential taxpayer information to persons outside the IRS. It is a felony to disseminate the information.
“Surely this cannot be happening. Surely,” she said. “This would be well more than a ‘smidgen’ of corruption.”
