When accusations first emerged in 2010 that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had targeted conservative and Tea Party groups for additional scrutiny, it was unclear how widespread the problem was, or how to respond. Some groups sued the IRS. Some contacted Congress, which sent inquiries to the IRS over a period of several months, beginning in October 2012. The House Ways and Means Committee, which is opening hearings on the subject on Wednesday, sent three separate letters to the IRS--but the IRS claimed no knowledge of the issue. It took the efforts of Mark Levin's Landmark Legal Foundation to find a strategy that would yield answers. Levin, who is also one of the most popular conservative talk radio hosts in the nation, decided to approach the Inspector General of the U.S. Treasury rather than the IRS itself, which is typically opaque in its responses. In a letter dated March 23, 2012, Levin cited reports of unfair targeting, and reported: "The information demanded [of Tea Party groups] in many cases goes far beyond the appropriate level of inquiry [for tax-exempt status]." Levin added that an investigation into the IRS by the Inspector General "also must determine whether the relevant IRS employees are acting at the direction of politically motivated superiors."

Anyone who doesn’t realize that this has to go all the way up to the top of the Obama regime is either an idiot are a complete partisan hack.

I agree!! Even if the senate never signs on...it will serve to set this administration on it’s heels and for all of their dirty little secrets to come spilling out for all to see.
I’ll say it loud.... IMPEACH!
I second that motion.
Nuff said.

I have found that you really don’t need to be fearless. A clear vision of right and wrong is all that’s required.
Double Ditto.
Is the same irs that’s gonna require each person to fill out a long form for “obamacare?” The same irs that’s gonna collect individual payments?
We are already in a fascist dictatorship.
