IRS Blames 'Low-Level' Employees for Targeting Conservative Groups
Breitbart ^ | 5/13/13 | Tony Lee

On Friday, the IRS blamed "low-level" employees in its Cincinnati office for targeting tax-exempt organizations that had "Tea Party" or "Patriots" in their names during the 2012 election and apologized for their actions.

Upon a review of the IRS bureaucracy, though, the Cincinnati office is not a random backwater outpost for "low-level" IRS rogues. In fact, the Cincinnati office is where determinations on tax-exempt organizations' eligibility are made and is the only physical office in the complex IRS bureaucracy dedicated to tax-exempt determinations.

On the IRS's website, in the "How to Contact the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division" section, the Cincinnati office is the only one listed for people to contact if they have questions about "Charities & Non-Profits":

To obtain a determination letter that applies the principles and precedents previously announced to a specific set of facts, or to transmit copies of amended documents write or fax to:

It is VERY difficult to remove data in a big organization.

The problem is that not every single IT geek in the loop marches to the same liberal drum beat.

The chances of some geek having already sifted through the data to make a backup of the interesting stuff is too great.

Of course, Ohio bureaucrats did a number on Joe the Plumber when Obama needed it.

Didn’t see it but I read about it some. I didn’t know he blamed Bush, though it doesn’t surprise me at all.

Benghazi was promulgated by low level State Department officials... not building security for the compounds, not rescuing victims, and communicating falsehoods after the obvious outcome...

It wasn’t “low level employees” that started this - it came from the top, like all the rest of the fascist oppression that we’re experiencing these days.

These commies HATE regular Americans, and they’ll do anything they can to assault their enemies.

This came from Obama, sure as the sun will come up in the morning. It’s his way. Eff him.

"It is VERY difficult to remove data in a big organization."

True. Most organizations, especially the White Hut, has a continuous, multilevel backup infrastructure.

If this was being done by low level employees, then they should be indicted and sent to prison immediately.

But this was done by high level administration appointees and everyone knows it but nobody will do anything about it. Welcome to ObamAmerica.

They also seem to create their own unique forms to mine information

Low level my ass. Low life racists more likely.

Be very afraid.

Be very angry.

Be prepared.

He says with an evil laugh.

Yes, they need to be careful because payback can be hell. Low level people are sacrificed by the big fish when they escape. When they escape they can’t protect low level henchmen and women.

The creeps need to think on this and be afraid.

It is not their flag.

Spread the word.

Mishandled hollow point bullets in the hands of disgruntled “low-level” DHS employees could do a lot of damage.
