We’ve linked the work of Paul L. Caron here many times so it’s great to see him featured by our friends at The College Fix.

Meet The Tax Professor Behind The Ultimate IRS Scandal Blog

A Pepperdine University tax law professor has chronicled every development in the IRS targeting scandal since Day One through a blog he tirelessly updates daily.

Yes, literally every day.

Professor Paul L. Caron’s “TaxProf Blog” had more than 400 entries under his IRS Scandal heading – one entry per day – in addition to multiple posts per day during the onset of the scandal in May 2013 and more recently now that the controversy has heated up again.

Take his Monday, June 16, entry – marked “IRS Scandal, Day 403,” in which he cited an article by National Journal’s Ron Fournier which eviscerated the IRS for its excuse that it “lost” an untold number of emails to and from the central figure in the controversy, Lois Lerner.

On his very first IRS Scandal entry, Caron gives a rundown of what Lerner originally admitted regarding the additional scrutiny given to groups requesting tax-exempt status with the words “tea party” or “patriot” in their title, as well as a link to the IRS’s original statement.

He also provided links to articles from various news sources published on that day – anything from mainstream outlets such as ABC News, Politico, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Hill, to editorials written in Newsbusters, PJ Media, Hot Air, Town Hall, and The Washington Examiner.

Throughout all 400-plus days of the IRS Scandal blog, the professor simply cites articles written about the controversy, and does not opine on what he personally thinks of the scandal. Caron also declined to be interviewed by The College Fix about his blog, and has carefully avoided inserting himself and his views about the IRS controversy in his blog.
