In a harshly worded 17-page opinion, Judge William Downes of the U.S. District Court in Denver found that one of the IRS agents, James Dolan, was "grossly negligent" and acted with "reckless disregard" for the law, and that he made three false statements in a sworn declaration.

So why is James Dolan still working for the IRS?

Why is he not under enditement for perjury?

Oh I forgot Federal Agents are "just a group of humans" so I guess we shouldn't expect the laws of the land to apply to them.

The defendant is perfectly able to bring charges in this matter against James Dolan personally. There is precedent in this. If my read of the judge is accurate he is saying, "go after him because he was acting outside his office". I can't remember the exact name of this decision, but I think it was something like "so-and-so vs. 5 unnamed FBI officers". I'm not a lawyer and I'm not sure how one would proceed in this case, but some official anti-IRS group should fund it. Jim Burnes

It's _Bivens v. Six Unknown Federal Narcotics Agents_, 403 US 388 (1971), or http://www.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=403&invol=388.

The problem here is that we are talking civil action not criminal prosecution. Both James Dolan and his co-conspiritors should be up on criminal charges and spend a nice long vacation at "club fed". I am sure that the federal appologist on the list will have some excuse why federal agents should be exempt from procecution when they commit felonies against the citizens of this country that they are hired to serve and protect. - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
