In future, please present LINKS and PAGE NUMBERS of the specific information you claim to be quoting so that anyone can see for themselves what was really said in context.
From page 1 of the EMIC / Copeland report.
Please note from Grassley's own report, KCM chose to follow the law and the advice of their lawyers.
IF Grassley could not provide enough LEGITIMATE evidence to the IRS to get them to initiate an investigation, it tells me the Grassley CIRCUS was ungrounded from start to finish.
IF the IRS would have initiated an investigation, Grassley could have requested EVERYTHING he wanted from the IRS.
IF KCM would have waived their rights, then NOTHING would have been subject to the laws of this land. NO ONE would have been subject to perjury charges.
IF everything went through legal channels, PERJURY charges would be leveled at anyone found guilty.
A VERY GOOD reason to follow the law and the advice of your lawyers.
SO AGAIN, you guys are speaking evil about things you know nothing about.
You're grasping at straws to convince people that your strange ideas about WOF are real.
You really should get up and get going for the LORD and doing something to glorify HIM. You're being lead around by the nose, into bitterness and anger.

Staff Overview of EMIC/Kenneth
Copeland PAGE 1.
Introduction
The Committee‟s initial letter was addressed to Kenneth Copeland Ministries. In its response however, the organization responded that Kenneth Copeland Ministries, Inc. (“KCM”

is an assumed business name, as registered with the Texas Secretary of State, for Eagle Mountain International Church, Inc. (“EMIC”

. Thus, KCM does not appear to be a separate entity from EMIC and, therefore, EMIC and KCM, while used interchangeably, are considered by staff as one and the same for purposes of this review.
Generally speaking, EMIC/KCM was not responsive to the Committee‟s request for information. Throughout their written response to questions posed by the Committee, EMIC/KCM, through their legal counsel stated, “
Based on constitutionally and statutorily based privacy and confidentiality concerns, the Church respectfully declines to provide the detailed accounting requested. The Church understands that the IRS has the ability to request this information from the Church through a church tax inquiry conducted in accordance to section 7611 of the Code, and that the Senate Finance Committee would have the ability to obtain this information from the IRS through a request pursuant to section 6103(f) of the Code. Proceeding within these well-established statutory frameworks would allow Senator Grassley to obtain the information requested without compromising the legitimate constitutionality and statutorily based privacy and confidentiality concerns of the Church in a disparate manner from other churches that enjoy these constitutional and statutory protections.”
In April of 2008, John Copeland, Kenneth Copeland‟s son, stood in front of the IRS office in Dallas, Texas, while CBS News filmed him requesting that the IRS initiate an inquiry of EMIC/KCM.
In another response to the inquiry via the media, John stated the following when questioned about EMIC/KCM‟s response to the Committee, “
KCM‟s response contained detailed information about non-church related questions but did not provide certain private information about the ministry and operation of the church. We assured the Senator that KCM fully complies with all of its legal obligations. We also pointed out that anything KCM declined to provide Senator Grassley could easily be obtained by the IRS in a church inquiry where confidentiality and privacy would be maintained.”
