ABC News is reporting that the woman who was the head of the tax-exempt organizations division of the IRS during the time conservative groups were targeted is now director of the IRS' ObamaCare office .
You can't make this stuff up.
So who is Sarah Hall Ingram?
Well, she was appointed as Commissioner of the Tax-Exempt and Government Entitles Division of the IRS in 2009 . Before that, she was the deputy commissioner, and before that, she was Division Counsel/Associate Chief Counsel for that division. She began her career with the IRS in 1982, in the Tax Litigation Division. She is a 1979 graduate of Yale and a 1982 graduate of Georgetown Law -- which means that (1) she was obviously aware of just how unconstitutional and wrongful the targeting scheme was and (2) she has never worked for anyone, anywhere, except for the IRS.
Ironically, Ingram has touted the importance of "transparency" to the proper governance of non-profits. Her remarks suggest that she s ees the IRS in a strong, activist role promoting what the IRS considers to be "good governance" of non-profits.
It's interesting -- and potentially significant -- that she was put in charge of the ObamaCare IRS office. Did someone in the administration know she could be trusted to play political hardball? Was the post a reward for her service at the IRS? Whose idea was this nomination? How far up the chain was it approved?
Certainly, someone (again, whom?) liked the work she did between 2009 and 2012 at the IRS; Mark Tapscott at the Washington Examiner reports that she was richly rewarded:
Ingram received a $7,000 bonus in 2009, according to data obtained by The Washington Examiner from the IRS, then a $34,440 bonus in 2010, $35,400 in 2011 and $26,550 last year for a total of $103,390. Her annual salary went from $172,500 to $177,000 during the same period.
The 2010, 2011 and 2012 bonuses were awarded during the period when IRS harrassment of the conservative groups was most intense. The newspaper obtained the data via a Freedom of Information Act request.
So who was in charge of those decisions? The questions -- just like all the appalling administration news -- just keeps coming.
:-P
Is she also behind the 10 million medical records issue too ..??
She was REWARDED for breaking the Law.
Inquiring minds wonder how many MILLIONS of Americans
have been criminally hurt by her over decades as she
“earned” her way up as a hatchetwoman for the DNC.
Also, every democrat admin always says, “... we’re going to be the most transparent admin in history”.
THEY DO THAT AS AN INFERENCE THAT THE PREVIOUS GUY WAS NOT TRANSPARENT .. even if they were.
It’s more of the democrat double-speak.
Does she have a Weiner?

This is the ONLY photo of her on the net.
Yet she knows you better than your own mother does.
She looks like SNL Dana Carvey’s church lady.
not quite as sexy.....
Wow! Not much else to say.
I tried to find her on Wikipedia and she’s not there.
Yeah.
By their words and attitudes, this President, his non-stop campaign organization, his Administration, the former Democrat Speaker, Pelosi, and Senate Leader Reid created an atmosphere of contempt for the millions of Americans who self-identified as part of a Taxed Enough Enough Already movement.
Pelosi called them "astro-turf." Others identified them in other, and sometimes worse, terms, but all discounted their efforts, failing to acknowledge them as American citizens whose understanding of their Constitutional rights was motivating them to speak freely of their concerns.
Why would anyone be surprised that such "progressive" contempt would translate itself into action by the department of the government which implements tax policy?
The wisdom of America's Founders did not overlook the possibility that "artful" (Washington) politicians might make attempts to overreach the "constraints" (Obama) of the Constitution and its limits on their coercive power.
With reference to to the kind of citizens involved in the so-called "Tea Party movement" and targeted by the Internal Revenue Service under President Obama's Administration might remind us of an essay from "Our Ageless Constitution," a volume originally published in 1987, the Bicentennial Year of our Constitution. The essay describes the America's Founders' concept of "responsibility of citizens" to preserve liberty--a concept which seems to describe what, today, would be a "complete conservative."

Ugly B*&^CH isn’t she?
“We have churches under audit” - Sarah Hall Ingram. They love her at Barry Lynn’s scum-bag site. So ... what churches were audited. I want to understand that better. I don’t know of any Tea Party named churches so they will have to come up with a different excuse
