The [[Secret Research Project]] originated as a term in the Obama team. It involved the [[U.S. Department of Justice]] under [[Eric Holder]] and the FBI under Robert Mueller. Eric Holder requested over 1 million tax records via CD-ROM: The IRS sent the FBI “21 disks constituting a 1.1 million page database of information from 501(c)(4) tax exempt organizations, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.” The transaction occurred in October 2010.
