This an evil and old Rat scheme.

During the second comings of the Clintoons, I had republican relatives and friends across the country get hammered by IRS for the sins of donating to the Republican party.

In each case, they were professionals or owners of small businesses.

They were charged with the crime of making too much money!?!?

When GW was elected, I told them to send the head of their IRS the picture of GW and Cheney, sent out to their donors and say, “Oh, really!”

That worked for each friend or relative.

Timing is interesting.

Might this be timed to try to distract Congress from their highly critical Benghazi investigation?

Yep, she claims their actions were not “political.” That is a bald face lie. If a group of employees is targeting certain political groups for extra scrutiny it most certainly is political.

The question yet to be answered is were those actions taken based on encouragement from the 0bama campaign, the DNC or the White House?

What is known already calls for some heads to roll at the IRS. What may be discovered could lead to trials for the federal crime of misusing the IRS.

FTA: Lerner said the practice was initiated by low-level workers in Cincinnati and was not motivated by political bias.

It wasn't political. They just really hate tea so they targeted groups that they thought were promoting tea parties.

That's as good of an answer as we will ever get out of The Most Transparent Administration in History.™

Nixon only implied a desire to use the IRS, and the media went nuts.

The rats want to instill fear into anybody who may be on conservative membership or contributor lists.

As long as Holder is at Justice there will be none (justice, that is).

Update: I want to know why the word “patriot” in particular triggered some sort of extra scrutiny.
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice ? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.

It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric? - Washington's Farewell Address 1796
