Ed’s “WaPo versus WaPo” post spotlighted a quote from an IRS employee claiming that there had to be a “directive” issued to the Determinations Unit to get them to focus on tea partiers. Was there? Actually, yes — and, via Mickey Kaus and Sean Higgins, we know that from the lede of an NYT article that was designed to exculpate the agency. Quote:

During the summer of 2010, the dozen or so accountants and tax agents of Group 7822 of the Internal Revenue Service office in Cincinnati got a directive from their manager. A growing number of organizations identifying themselves as part of the Tea Party had begun applying for tax exemptions, the manager said, advising the workers to be on the lookout for them and other groups planning to get involved in elections.

Who was their manager, and at whose behest did he issue the directive? That’s what Rand Paul was getting at yesterday, despite CNN’s best efforts to make him look like a conspiracist for wondering. Per the Times, there are still no answers:

Whose idea was it to launch the Coffee Party? There should be tracks to and from all over and around that.

The photo of Jarrett is creeeeepy to the max. I know there is a really an alien lizard under that human-looking skin. And moochelle looks like the sort of angry person you would expect to see raising a ruckus at McDonalds because they are taking too long to fill her order.

You have to follow the money and the promotions. 0bama is big on 'hush money'. Sarah Ingram received a $103,000 BONUS and PROMOTION.

Susan Rice; Promotion coming.. This is to keep her loyal to Dear Leader and.. QUIET.

Follow the money and/or promotions. This why all the big players at the IRS received over $92 MIL among themselves to keep them loyal, and.. QUIET.

Follow the money.. AND PROMOTIONS!

Hmmmm.. Notice how Axelrod was REALLY quiet and out of the news for months following the election? I’d look at Valerie Jarrett, too.

This is the real issue in the scandal. Not when Obama or Treasury “knew” about it. That is a dodge that puts the blame on the low level employees. Someone told the low level employees, explicitly or implicitly, to target conservatives. That is what we need to know.

I hear it’s a low-level functionary with a suave mustache named Kurt Grove.
