Jerusalem Post ^ | 15/5/13

WASHINGTON - Steven Miller, who resigned on Wednesday as the acting head of the Internal Revenue Service, said in a message to colleagues that there is a "strong and immediate need" to restore public trust in the nation's tax agency.

Miller resigned after the IRS became embroiled in a controversy over the agency's targeting of conservative groups for extra scrutiny.

"It is with regret that I will be departing from the IRS as my acting assignment ends in early June," Miller said in an internal message that was released by the IRS. "This has been an incredibly difficult time for the IRS given the events of the past few days, and there is a strong and immediate need to restore public trust in the nation's tax agency."

Apparently, he was leaving anyway and just upstaged the Kenyan with an email. That will leave a mark.

The IRS would have to lop off whole slices of the pyramid and go to an innocent until proven guilty protocol before they gain any cred with me.

That wasn't trust, Stevie boy, that was and is fear.

Trust??? How do you trust people who are arrogant and utterly unaccountable to anyone else?

The correct term is “Underbussed”.

There was a time when everyone trusted the IRS, when teenage girls would tell an IRS agent things they’d be afraid to tell their own mothers. But then (sob) Nixon had an enemy’s list that he sicked the IRS on. Now, poor Obama is being tarred with the same brush, when really we need to be looking for feathers and a rail.

He was scheduled to leave in early June anyway. Meaningless.

Obama Fires Acting IRS Commissioner

AT THE top of his brief appearance, Obama stated that the IRS misconduct was “inexcusable.” He segued then to say that he’d talked to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, and then stated that the acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller has been asked for his resignation and it was given.
