Did Lois Lerner Illegally Disclose Information to the FEC?

BeforeItsNews.com-Further, once an organization is granted tax exemption, federal law mandates that its application as well as the IRS’s approval letter be made publicly available; since its application was not publicly available, lawyers could have deduced that its file was pending.
