The IRS's leaders refuse to account for the agency's corruption and abuse.
"I don't know." "I don't remember." "I'm not familiar with that detail." "It's not my precise area." "I'm not familiar with that letter."
These are quotes from the Internal Revenue Service officials who testified this week before the House and Senate. That is the authentic sound of stonewalling, and from the kind of people who run Washington in the modern age—smooth, highly credentialed and unaccountable. They're surrounded by legal and employment protections, they know how to parse a careful response, they know how to blur the essential point of a question in a blizzard of unconnected factoids. They came across as people arrogant enough to target Americans for abuse and harassment and think they'd get away with it.

If we as conservatives believe that we may have been targeted based possibly on our conservative beliefs by agencies other than the IRS, who should we go to to report this?
Furthermore, if we believe that conservatives are being blacklisted in their chosen professions, whose attention can we bring this too.
bring this to that should read.
The logical conclusion here would be that they have used other agencies to unfairly target conservatives as well as the IRS.

If wouldn’t surprise me if down the road the “Lone Wolf Gun Shop’ of Fast and Furious fame isn’t found to be part of the war against Conservatives.
Remember they took Hank Williams Jr.’s Are You Ready For Some Football off the Monday Night Football song and replaced it with Faith Hill doing Joannie Jett I Hate Myself for Loving You, all because Hank Williams Jr. compared Obama to Hitler “offending” people.
Thanks!
If we give this outrage a pass, it will green light future oppression of groups that oppose rat regimes.
We might as well deed the White House keys to the DNC and not bother with elections; they will be a waste of time.
No, it's just ‘rogue’ agents in all of these agencies, that just coincidentally happened to target the same people. Gee, what are the odds?
I agree with your conclusion. If this doesn't lead to convictions, jail time, and sweeping changes in how the government does business, there is no need to ever again utter the words ‘liberty and justice for all’, and we might as well cancel July 4th.
Each organization would need to be investigated simultaneously in separate investigations. Two other investigations would need to have overview and to be informed on all of these investigations. The two investigations with overview would need to be an impeachment investigation and a RICO investigation.
all these groups didn’t just decide to act on their own, they were guided. the more you peel away at this, the more it stinks.
Hank Jr. was prescient.
It was always a revolutionary goal of the left to infiltrate, saturate, and takeover our agencies and institutions, and they have accomplished their goal, with no small amount of help from Republicans wanting to play nice. If we want to get leftist bias and partisanship out of our agencies, we will have to string everyone up. Give notice to the innocent. “Leave while you can,” and break out the rope. Otherwise, we will have to live with it, because the universities that provide warm bodies for our agencies are the heart and soul of leftist revolution. ...Maybe the better way to handle this is to get rid of the agencies.
‘...smooth, highly credentialed and unaccountable.’
In other words - weasels.
Levin was on a tirade last night. In some ways he was fine with the hearings going forward, but he was livid like I have not heard him that the Rupubies had the House when this stuff started to seep out what 2 years ago now and they did nothing because they are anti-Tea-Party as well.

Don't go to anyone to "report this." Deal with it yourself. The thing a politicized bureaucracy fears the most is a day of reckoning that does not involve political contests, legal proceedings, and the like.
