An employee at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) who was involved in targeting conservative groups during the Obama administration is now leading the same IRS division, according to a new memo from the American Accountability Foundation (AAF) obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Robert Choi served as the director of the IRS’s Tax-Exempt Organizations Rulings and Agreements division in 2010, when the agency began applying heightened scrutiny to organizations associated with the Tea Party movement seeking tax-exempt status, the AAF found. Despite this history, Choi was reportedly recently promoted to acting commissioner of the Tax Exempt and Government Entities division, which handles the administration of tax laws that govern tax-exempt organizations.
Choi led the Tax-Exempt Organizations Rulings and Agreements division between 2007 and 2010, reporting to Lois Lerner, who admitted in 2013 to singling out applications containing the words “tea party” or “patriot” for tax-exempt status, resulting in her resignation. Emails showing Lerner describing Republicans as “crazies” and “a**holes” also fueled allegations of anti-conservative bias within the agency.
The IRS website and an IRS organization chart dated May 8 both indicate that Choi is actively employed by the IRS. The White House, Choi, and the IRS did not respond to the DCNF’s requests for comment.
Although Choi faced no disciplinary actions at the time, publicly available records show he was involved in email communications related to the Tea Party cases the agency was handling, and that IRS employees sought “clearance” from him. Records also show that Choi — who is a registered Democrat in Maryland — was interviewed by lawmakers on the scandal in 2013.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Paging lifelong-Democrat Scott Bessent.
Speaking of Tea Party-era scandals, what ever happened with Lois Lerner?
This is the kind of thing that makes one say “What the H-—”
I believe she retired on a $500k annual pension
At least Bessent didn’t promote him like Kash.
You’re offering a pretty low bar there.
How does this even HAPPEN?
Is no one looking, out for the people?
No one?
Lol. I know but it’s all we have at this point.
No telling how long it’s going to take to clean out all the rats embedded in our government agencies.
Fire Choi and whoever promoted him.
