(CNSNews.com) – IRS employees were ordered by their superiors--including Lois Lerner who pleaded the 5th Amendment against self-incrimination rather than testify in Congress--to send certain Tea Party tax-exemption applications to the office of the IRS's Chief Counsel, which was headed by William Wilkins, who at that time was the only Obama political appointee at the IRS, according to a letter released today by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
“As a part of this ongoing investigation, the Committees have learned that the IRS Chief Counsel’s office in Washington, D.C. has been closely involved in some of the applications,” reads a letter released today by the House committees on Oversight and Government and Ways and Means. “Its involvement and demands for information about political activity during the 2010 election cycle appear to have caused systematic delays in the processing of Tea Party applications.”
It further states, “[B]ased on his decades of experience, [career IRS official Carter Hull] determined he had enough facts to make recommendations whether to approve or deny the applications. … However, Mr. Hull’s recommendations were not carried out. Instead, according to Michael Seto, the head of Mr. Hull’s unit in Washington, Lois Lerner instructed that the Tea Party applications go through a multi-layer review that included her senior advisor and the Chief Counsel’s office.”

...wonder how many times William Wilkins showed up on WH visiting lists?
There should be jail time.
” ...wonder how many times William Wilkins showed up on WH visiting lists?”
every day of the week, including saturday.
Jail time for everyone who voted A SECOND TIME for obama when they knew all that had happened.
Obastard’s criminality makes Nixon look like a 3 year old stealing a piece of candy.
Hopefully, we will soon find out how many outrages the IRS can get away with before We the People commit wholesale rejection?
The election of 2014 will soon be upon us, and we conservatives need to work together to increase our majority in the House and gain a majority in the Senate!
FairTax will be a winning issue in 2014, methinks.
Ordered? Someone’s name must be attached to that ‘order’...............
There should be hangings from oak trees. Right after we tar and feather them in public.
Nothing but traitors, the whole lot of them.
Wonder if the pubbies have the balls to act?
In addition, I’m sure Stevie Wonder was the one reviewing the applications from liberal groups.
Not likely.
I thought some info was about to break on the IRS scandal linking it directly to the White House.
So far enough keeps coming out to keep the issue alive, and impossible for the LSM to ignore, but I want irrefutable proof of a White House link, which I (and most people) believe exists.
Duh.
I hope you’re right, but I’m afraid this is going to be swept under the rug and ignored by the mainstream press.
These people make me wish that the 'violation of the public trust' was a capital offense.
Imagine this same politically corrupt organization in charge of our health care. Would the decision to treat or not treat you be subject to the same politics.
What difference does it make? none. Nothing here.
They are incumbents. The problem is systemic. We need a new party that voluntariy commits to term limits.
