Steven Miller is breaking his silence about the scandal thats engulfing the Internal Revenue Service. Miller, the acting IRS commissioner, is quickly emerging as the focus of fury in Washington after an agency official acknowledged last week that conservative groups seeking nonprofit status were targeted for extra screening if their applications included words such as tea party or patriot.
In an op-ed published Tuesday in USA Today, he said the agency was simply trying to manage the explosive growth in applications for 501(c)(4) status that started pouring in to the IRS in 2010. "The Internal Revenue Service recognizes that we should have done a better job of handling the influx of applications by advocacy groups," Miller wrote. He denied that politics played a role in the targeting practice. Mistakes were made, but they were in no way due to any political or partisan motivation, he wrote. We are and will continue to be dedicated to reviewing all applications for tax-exempt status in an impartial manner. Miller blamed the mistakes on a "shortcut" the agency used to centralize the thousands of applications for tax-exempt status the agency received in the run-up to the 2012 election.

Haha, so many people (Obama’s people) HAVE to be coming out right now. All these HUGE, serious cover-ups and scandals coming out at once? Coincidence? No way, people are fed up, expect more in the next few days and next week.
There is NO way out for Obama and co. They are going down. What’s really fascinating is to think of how many OTHER people are going to save their own skins and tell the truth about what really has been happening.
Sounds like Osama Obama's drawn the line at Miller.It won't be allowed to go any higher.
Alright, mistakes were made. But one can hardly hold the current incarnation of Holy Mother Church responsible for oversights of old.
