Crucial evidence needed to develop an accurate answer to that question would include the records of any communications that went back and forth between the IRS and the White House on the topic.
In a May 14 letter signed by Chairman Dave Camp and Ranking Member Sander Levin, the House Ways and Means Committee demanded precisely those records from the IRS. In the same letter, the committee also demanded the records of any communications between IRS and the Treasury on the matter, plus other information and records that would help the committee understand the facts about IRS actions that subjected to heightened scrutiny conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status.

Contempt of Congress.
Ha! Will they have to pay a *penalty*?
Does that mean we can miss IRS deadlines too?
Bush’s fault.
The sequester’s fault.
Citizens United’s fault.
Gosh, if I miss an IRS deadline, I’m in trouble.
If they miss a deadline, what difference does it make?
Congress must ask if they were ordered to stall their response to Congress’ information demands.
They actually need to do this and investigate every agency that stalls and misses deadlines.
I think Holder is already in contempt of Congress for other matters where he refused to turn over e-mails, so it obviously doesn’t matter very much.
FYI
Executive privilege coming soon.
Have no mercy on them! They have no mercy on anyone else! Prosecute to the greatest extent of the law!
I think Congress should just send the US Marshalls over to the Commissioner’s house...bring him to a federal holding facility, and then tell the number two guy....we come to your house in forty-eight hours, if you don’t provide the information, and then let the number three guy know that he might be next.
If you assume a position of responsibility to the United States government, you are given a trust. If you can’t do the job....you need to move on. It’s not the occupation for you.
He’s manipulated the law to create anarchy to his advantage. No authority.
Cut IRS funding!
Just a small gesture to show congress how little esteem and respect this adminitration holds for them.
Throw everyone that works for the IRS into jail.
I don’t see how anyone can trust them again.
No problem in this banana republic.
Hmmmm
We have to meet the IRS’s deadlines for face penalties, etc. and they, the IRS, don’t have to meet Congress’s?
How about Congress growing something and informing the IRS leadership that they are being fined, individually and collectively, for not meeting Congress’s deadline.
What is good for the goose should be good for the gander!
