Second the feds occasionally do enforcements like this to "keep up appearances" and pretend they are without bias. Thirdly, as TerpenoidTester suggests this is the prelude to more IRS raids. (and they will be heavily tilted against the Right and "the little people") I do wonder how bad this union must have been to become the first target.
