Steven T. Miller, the acting IRS commissioner who managed the division that has admitted targeting anti-Obama Tea Party groups, was one of several agents who investigated anti-Clinton organizations including Judicial Watch during that Democrat´s administration, according to court documents and interviews. Miller, who headed the IRS Services and Enforcement Division from 2009 until the end of last year, is named in court documents as part of a trio of Internal Revenue Service officials who allegedly characterized the 1998-2001 investigation of Judicial Watch as politically motivated.

That was right around the time I decided to sign up to post at FR after lurking quite a while. My login name was “Don’t wanna be audited”. Pretty stupid. If anything, it probably brought even more attention to me rather than less. But the paranoia was palpable in those days.

There are other FReepers who were targeted as well.

I remember George. Tough old bird.

Me too. He was one of the first conservative commentators that I spent time learning from, after my escape from the liberal mind control plantation.

And this is why one needs to start looking at the federal unions and their leaders.

But hey...I’m just a ‘disruptor’ as I was told yesterday.

Consider who levied the charge, their record and evidence of the charge, then apologize, dismiss them, or expose them for fraudulent charges. Defend/dismiss/attack as necessary.

Our differences are microscopically insignificant compared to the differences we have with people who deceive us, want to steal from us or want to kill us.

I was hoping Rush would mention this but I didn’t hear anything this week, unless I missed it.
So, will this Miller guy be working for Hillery?

BTW, the specialists who make the rulings are usually not lawyers, although there are lawyers who consider a detail into a shop like this one a career enhancer for further advancement in the regulatory industry.

The gub'mnt is it's own lawyer ~ and the expertise in these exacting procedures is usually going to be found in someone who hasn't cooked his brain at a lawschool.
