Anonymous Cincinnati IRS official: “Everything comes from the top.”
The Washington Examiner ^ | 5/19/2013 | Sean Higgins

Posted on 05/19/2013 2:07:47 PM PDT by Beave Meister

A story in the Washington Post yesterday about the Internal Revenue Service’s Cincinnati office, which does most of the agency’s nonprofit auditing, clearly contradicted earlier reports that the agency’s targeting of Tea Party groups was the result of rogue agents.

The Post story anonymously quoted a staffer in Cincinnati as saying they only operate on directives from headquarters:

As could be expected, the folks in the determinations unit on Main Street have had trouble concentrating this week. Number crunchers, whose work is nonpolitical, don’t necessarily enjoy the spotlight, especially when the media and the public assume they’re engaged in partisan villainy.

“We’re not political,’’ said one determinations staffer in khakis as he left work late Tuesday afternoon. “We people on the local level are doing what we are supposed to do. . . . That’s why there are so many people here who are flustered. Everything comes from the top. We don’t have any authority to make those decisions without someone signing off on them. There has to be a directive.”

“...doing what we are supposed to do...”

means “doing what we are told to do.”

Get these guys under oath and testifying to Congress. Then Obozo will have to appoint a Special Prosecutor.

Of course, in this regime, the Special Prosecutor will be Tim Geitner’s brother-in-law.

If there’s a directive, there’s something written somewhere, hopefully electronically and on paper.

As much is obvious to those with eyes willing to see.

They, the IRS, knows it! WE Americans know it. It’s the low information Obama types who are clueless about what went on here. It doesn’t help that the toads in Barry’s state run “media” keep misleading the low information types with their 30 second sound bites on the nightly “news”.

Something like this would be done verbally. There will be no paper trail.
