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

Posted on 05/10/2013 6:06:34 PM PDT by Nachum

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.

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":

So low-level employees at the IRS dictate IRS policy?

What do high-level employees of the IRS do?

Low level is the Obama legacy.

Yesterday it a Bush.

Tomorrow it wil be the sequester followed by Mitt and Fox news.

I’ve got a feeling that this goes all the way to the top.Be sure that evidence is already destroyed,and is being destroyed as we speak.This story is the kind of thing that should lead to removal/impeachment if White House involvement can be proven.

They are in charge of blaming "low level" employees and other cover up efforts.

Top down corruption.

And people wonder why we aren’t going to hand over our guns to these people?

You could fill stadiums with lefties that would like nothing better than frog march all of us (conservatives) right into the gas chambers.

Anyone that doubts that has been in a coma for years.

This is a criminal act and somebody needs to go to jail. Preferably that chickenshit off a CIC Obama.

Just a reminder to low-level employees everywhere.

When it hits the fan, you are the one who will be hung out to dry.

So if you are directed to do something you think might be hinky, and you don’t have the nerve to refuse, at the very least keep some cover-your-backside documentation archived where you can get at it when you need it.

Because the people telling you to do it sure aren’t going to volunteer to take the hit.

I think this was an attempt to distract from Benghazi and I think it was a major miscalculation which will also blow back on the mis administration.
