IRS Leaker ID’d; Confidential Information Given to 2007 Harvard Graduate UPDATE: Gay ‘Diversity’ Program

Posted on | October 31, 2013 | 48 Comments

Eliana Johnson of National Review reports that congressional investigators have identified the Internal Revenue Service employee who leaked confidential information about donors to the National Organization for Marriage. Federal rules forbid the leaker’s name being made public, but we know to whom the information was leaked:

[A]n IRS agent working in the Exempt Organizations Division — the same division that, until May, was under the direction of Lois Lerner, who retired under duress last month — leaked NOM’s Schedule B to Matthew Meisel, a former employee of Bain & Company, the management consultancy where former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney worked in the 1970s and 1980s and where he served as interim CEO in the early 1990s. Between his stints there, Romney founded the private-equity firm Bain Capital in 1984. After he obtained NOM’s donor list from the IRS employee, the committee says, Meisel then turned it over to the Human Rights Campaign. Neither Meisel nor the Human Rights Campaign returned calls seeking comment. . . .
The emergence of Meisel, a 2007 graduate of Harvard University, and his connection to Romney’s firm may shed light on the motivation behind the leak, which was used to hammer Romney for supporting California’s Proposition 8.
[NOM chairman John Eastman] wants the Department of Justice to prosecute both the unnamed IRS leaker and Meisel, the recipient of the leaked documents. “This should be a relatively simple matter,” he says.

It also should be “a relatively simple matter” for a congressional committee to subpoena Meisel and officials of the Human Rights Campaign to testify at a hearing, and to subpoena Lerner for her testimony as well. Let them all plead the Fifth, if they want, but hold the hearing and let the American public see what has happened here.

UPDATE: How did this happen? In a word, “diversity.” From a December 2008 article in the Harvard Crimson:

On a Monday night in September, about two dozen Harvard students gathered at the Harvard Square hot spot Red Line, to be wined and dined by recruiters from the consulting firms Bain and Co. and the Bridgespan Group. . . .
This event hosted by Bain and Bridgespan was just one in a series of efforts from a variety of firms across the country to target LGBT students interested in a future in finance. . . .
“Questions run the gamut, everything from what are your hours like to can I bring my boyfriend out with colleagues? About significant others and everything in between,” says Matthew S. Meisel ’07, an associate consultant from Bain and Co. . . .
About Bain and Co.’s larger diversity goals, Meisel says, “Bain is really looking for a diverse set of people and diversity means a lot of things of course, but as our clients change and as our clients’ needs change, one of the important things is that our team members come from diverse backgrounds.”

Score another win for Cultural Marxism.

UPDATE II: More on gay “diversity” from the Yale Herald, Nov. 5, 2010:

Matthew Meisel, a senior associate consultant at Bain who graduated from Harvard in 2007 and is a member of BGLAD [Bain Gay and Lesbian Association for Diversity], highlighted diversity in the workplace as an asset to the collaborative nature of consulting.
“If you get six identical people in a room together and ask them to solve a really difficult problem, you’re not going to get a very good answer,” he said. “But if you have people from diverse academic and personal backgrounds, you get more creative answers.” . . .
[C]andidates who want more information about specific companies should look to metrics such as the Corporate Equality Index published annually by the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBT civil rights organization in the U.S. According to Matthew Meisel, Bain was the first major consulting firm to receive a perfect score of 100 and has received that score for five years running.

So, it seems, Matthew Meisel was a sort of poster boy/P.R. spokesman for this corporate “diversity” program at Bain.

    ‘Twould be a good bit of research and investigation if a former Washington Times reporter were to do a study on whether homosexuals have proven to be security risks in greater percentages than normal people.

    Edward Snowden apparently had a hot babe girlfriend, but it won’t surprise me if we eventually hear about a boyfriend as well.

    I love how leftists believe that skin color and sexual proclivities make people think differently (thus “diversity” pushes everywhere), HOWEVER you’re not allowed to disagree with those different viewpoints. How can something be different but I’m not allowed to dislike it? What’s the point of it being different if it’s not being exposed to a liking or disliking? What’s the point if liking it is mandatory?
    I also enjoy how all this “diversity” crap started as “minorities are not being allowed in these fields, so we need affirmative action,” and now it’s about minorities “thinking differently.” See how that works? Once the affirmative action accomplishes its task of finding work for minorities, it has to change it’s purpose so it can still be needed.
    Wouldn’t want it to go away or anything.

    There’s no doubt that they form pink mafias wherever they are active. But that includes bisexuals too – and the majority of these are married.

    Anyways, single homosexuals who promote a homosexuality agenda are a bane to any organization.

    Not really thanks to diversity – but thanks to the obsession to normalize homosexuality.

    Another nice example that the sexuality ideology that people have in their heads matters when hiring is concerned. You want to have junk of people, you hire people who think homosexuality is normal and who are shoving “gay rights” in society.
