Scandal: A retiring IRS lawyer implicates the IRS chief counsel's office, headed by an Obama appointee, as well as the head of the IRS' exempt organizations office. The targeting included a Tea Party Senate candidate.
In Thursday's hearing before the House Oversight Committee, 72-year-old retiring IRS lawyer Carter Hull implicated the IRS chief counsel's office headed by William J. Wilkins, who attended at least nine White House meetings, and Lois Lerner, head of the exempt-organizations office, in the IRS scandal.
In so doing, he made clear the targeting of Tea Party groups started in Washington and was directed from Washington.
A tax-law specialist with 48 years of IRS experience, Hull testified that Lerner, the former head of the exempt organizations division, demanded that he send some of the reviews of Tea Party groups to the IRS chief counsel's office in Washington. The chief counsel is one of two political appointees in the IRS.
According to Hull's testimony, Lerner, who famously pleaded her Fifth Amendment rights before the same committee, gave an atypical instruction that the Tea Party applications undergo special scrutiny that included an uncommon multilayer review that involved a top adviser to Lerner as well as the chief counsel's office.
Hull's name came up earlier in the testimony of Holly Paz, a D.C.-based supervisor in the IRS's tax-exempt status division, who reported to Lerner. It was on May 22, the day after Paz was interviewed by investigators, that Lerner refused to answer questions from lawmakers at a congressional hearing.

I thought it was all over. No more story. It was all the fault of some people in Cleveland.
Who is that congressman who said it was “solved?”
sfl
There would only be a story if it was discovered that the IRS wasn't targeting the enemy (i.e. Tea Party, conservatives, Christians, etc.).
Since the government is doing exactly what the left wants them to do, there's really no story to talk about.

They viciously targeted the Tea Parties because the FEAR them. The Tea Parties are the key.
Someone is about to disappear down the memory hole.

I guess that explains why Lois Lerner just got an invitation for a staff picnic at Fort Marcy Park.
