CNN Exclusive: Two ‘Rogue’ IRS Employees Blamed For Tea Party Targeting Scandal
MediaIte ^ | 05/15/2013 | by Matt Wilstein

Posted on 05/15/2013 3:20:03 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

CNN’s Drew Griffin broke into Wolf Blitzer‘s Newsroom report Wednesday afternoon to reveal new information about the investigation into the IRS’ admission that they targeted conservatives during the 2012 election year.

Griffin said a Congressional source told him that the acting commissioner of the IRS, Steven Miller, has identified two “rogue” employees in the agency’s Cincinnati office, who he characterized as “off the reservation.” The commissioner reportedly said the two, as yet unnamed, employees were “principally responsible for overly aggressive handling of Tea Party requests for tax exempt status over the past two years.” Another source, according to Griffin, said that Miller confirmed that two employees have “already been disciplined.”

“I suspect a lot of Republicans, especially, but there are a bunch of Democrats outraged by this as well,” Blitzer said, “are going to suggest this may just be the tip of the iceberg, if you will. They’re going to want to see who else could be implicated in this.”

Sure, they didn’t notice it was taking conservative groups 27 months to get approved.

It is pure BULLSTALIN. There were constituents who contacted their congresscritters who were told there was nothing undue about the delays.

There were legal experts trying to unclog the logjam on conservative filings.

2 people didn't give all of the responses.

There is a coverup of criminal conspiracy to influence an election.

supposed to take 100 days or less. Seriously.

The big hoorah about this being some little backwater outpost in Cincinnati? This is where the non-profit aps are processed. The national center.

What a gang of disembling, mendacious, lyin’ bastards!

Why haven't they been arrested yet? They are criminals who have broken the law. Arrest them you idiots!!! They have already been disciplined? What the hell does that mean?! They get "fired", with pay, for six months until this blows over and then they get their jobs back? How many months in prison did they get? They violated the civil rights of lots of Americans and Americans lost big in November 2012's elections because of what these two little piggies did.

In a related story, Rush cracked me up with his play off of CNN's "off the reservation" remark today. I couldn't stop laughing for 45 minutes.

I doubt they’ll release the names for privacy reasons or some such. So for all we’ll ever know, the two rogues never even existed.

......”There is no such thing as rogue operatives in the federal government”.....

Agreed...but they will always “select” them just the same.

Still I know that federal employees are some of the laziest unmotivated and unqualified individuals in the work force. I wouldn’t put it past any to be on the take when they can get it. When they do that at the top you can be certain the bottom is getting their share.

Right, they just took it upon their little old selves to start investigating conservative organizations.

Bette Midler has already tweeted her support for such partisan activity by government offices.

-------------

Several democrat Congressmen including Al Franken had sent the IRS threatening emails demanding that the IRS do exactly what it has done to conservative groups such as the Tea Party.

Anybody got that list of names?
