The House Ways and Means Committee holds the first Congressional hearing on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) subjecting applicants for tax-exempt status to higher levels of scrutiny based on political leanings.
Witnesses include Acting IRS Commissioner Steve Miller who resigned on Wednesday and the Treasury Department’s Inspector General Russell George for Tax Administration.
Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) said the IRS' targeting of "American taxpayers based on politics is both astounding and appalling." He stated that the Committee will "get to the bottom of this practice and ensure it never takes place again.”
In announcing the hearing, Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) said that it is "essential that there be a thorough and bipartisan investigation and effective remedial action.”
Since June 2011, the Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating whether the Internal Revenue Service discriminated against taxpayers based on political opinions.
Here we go again with the “I don’t know” and “I don’t remember” crap. This guy’s been around Holder you can tell.
Commie bastards
Funny, if he did, I’d like to know why someone wouldn’t....
They should always be sworn in, to my mind.
Dave Camp
Committee chair - R-Mich
Thanks!
Dave Camp is Chairman of the House Ways and Means committee, he’s our Darryl Issa today.

He talks like a ‘valley girl’.
Thanks to all!
Camp doing a pretty good job..setting him up for lawsuit that Ted Olsen is bringing.
He doesn’t know who “we” is.
Well here we go again...”I don’t know”.. to.. “I don’t remember”....
Some talented indidividual needs to make a song using these phrases.
This guy Miller is a poster boy for govt competence...
Over paid, under worked, blasé attitude, read it in the press, don’t remember, wasn’t informed, yada yada....
We PAY for these idiots!!!
‘Yeah...like so....’
Hate that phrase!!
Miller is astonishingly ill prepared, it looks like he has no paperwork in front of him at all. “I’ll have to get back to you on the exact date”, etc.
Folks, the gravity of this needs to be front and center.
THE IRS RIGGED THE 2012 ELECTION.
The 2012 election was a fraud, due to the actions of the IRS. The government in power now is ILLEGITIMATE.
Did you notify anyone?
“They were in the press, sir.”
Drinking phrase: “I don’t recall....”
Don’t forget he was only “deputy” director... during these times....
