The Internal Revenue Service official who sparked a firestorm last week with her admission that the agency targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status signed two letters sent last year to the Richmond Tea Party requesting additional information from the group.
Lois Lerner, the director of exempt organizations for the IRS , apologized Friday for the improper scrutiny of tea party groups, describing it as the work of low-level staffers in the agency's Cincinnati office.
But the letters signed by Lerner and provided by the Richmond Tea Party place her in the position of pursuing additional information in the same vein criticized by the Treasury inspector general's office in a scathing audit released Tuesday. Lerner was appointed in 2005 to her job by the IRS commissioner, the agency's top official, appointed by the president.
In a 2012 letter, Lerner informed the Richmond Tea Party that its application for tax-exempt status had been placed "in suspense."
That letter cited a Jan. 9, 2012, request for additional information sent by another IRS official to the Richmond group seeking among other things, the names of donors, how much money they gave and details on how it was used along with the same information for income the group expected to receive in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
The same list of questions in that document is featured in the inspector general's audit as an example of excessive requests for information from past and future donors. "Many organizations received requests from the IRS that included unnecessary, burdensome questions (e.g., lists of past and future donors)," the report said.....

She’ll tell us they are ‘autopenned’, just like Hillary.
They better collar this dog (IRS) but fast.
Do you have a verified source for that? I want to use it in a local publication but I haven’t been able to verify the source.
I think your dripping faucet is quickly turning into Niagara Falls.
Wow, I actually delivered this paper when I was a kid. The News-Virginian beats out the WaPo.
Too late, the cat is out of the bag. Obama throwing all of his minions to the wolves isn’t going to work this time. Keep hammering away at this corrupt administration, and do not let up on the pressure until it is cleaned out.
I’ll be in Waynesboro tomorrow. Shall I have Bob Stuart give you a call?
Now I ask you.......if she said this, why, why is she not being investigated? This kind of crap just can’t be allowed, what is it, a death threat or what?

WASHINGTON — Gary Johnston thought the questions the Internal Revenue Service was asking seemed overly intrusive, even for an agency known for being irritatingly meticulous.
When he showed the federal tax agency’s demands to an accountant, her response confirmed his suspicions. “Her first question was, ‘Who did you make angry?’” Johnston recalled. “She said, ‘There is something wrong here. A lot of these questions are illegal.’”
Johnston feels absolutely certain that his organization, the Roane County Tea Party, was one of dozens of conservative groups the IRS has admitted to singling out for extra scrutiny when reviewing their applications for tax-exempt status. Today and Friday, he will be in Washington with other tea party officials from across the country to draw attention to their tangles with the tax agency.
Johnston said it took the Roane County Tea Party roughly 37 months to be granted non-profit, tax-exempt status — a process that normally should have taken about four months.
That is a violation of law. Arrest her and charge her with malfeasance.
