This sounds like the question leading up to Nicholson’s famouse speech in “a few good men”....tell me Colonel, If you gave an order that Santiago wasn’t to be touched, and your orders are always followed, then why would he be indanger, why would it be necessary to transfer him off the base?
On in this case, why would the IRS issue orders to not target certain 501’s and then have some low level guys do what they wanted to do?
IRS commissioner to all employees:
As much as I hate the tea party groups and think they should be given a full body cavity search of an audit, under no circumstances do I want any IRS agent to do that.
Furthermore, as much as I would like to promote any IRS agent harrassing repulicans or conservatives, I want to be perfectly clear that this agency will severely frown on any of these actions.
