Additional scrutiny of conservative organizations’ activities by the IRS did not solely originate in the agency’s Cincinnati office, with requests for information coming from other offices and often bearing the signatures of higher-ups at the agency, according to attorneys representing some of the targeted groups. At least one letter requesting information about one of the groups bears the signature of Lois Lerner, the suspended director of the IRS Exempt Organizations department in Washington.
Jay Sekulow, an attorney representing 27 conservative political advocacy organizations that applied to the Internal Revenue Service for tax-exempt status, provided some of the letters to NBC News. He said the groups’ contacts with the IRS prove that the practices went beyond a few “front line” employees in the Cincinnati office, as the IRS has maintained.
“We've dealt with 15 agents, including tax law specialists -- that's lawyers -- from four different offices, including (the) Treasury (Department) in Washington, D.C.,” Sekulow said.

Carney better get a good nights rest.
Jarrett’s revenge too. She’s been quoted talking about revenge, as well as 0bama’s ‘revenge’ remark. If she isn’t involved in all these agency scandals, I’ll eat my shorts.
As much as I don’t wish ill will on people, I wish for justice to be done even more. I want the right people in the right places to pay for this criminal behavior.
I hope they find the link that leads right to the door of the Oval Office. In this instance I should say AF1.
Carney is very busy getting his talking points ready. His only worry is which lie to tell first.
“...activities by the IRS did not solely originate in the agency’s Cincinnati office,...”
Of course..we knew that already. I hope Jay can connect the dots and get this before the American people.
If we give this outrage a pass, it will green light future oppression of groups that oppose rat regimes.
We might as well deed the White House keys to the DNC and not bother with elections; they will be a waste of time, a bigger waste than the last one.
exactly what I think
Lois Lerner as the James McCord of taxgate?
It is also interesting that Democrats claim voter fraud is minimal, yet they used all of these agencies to attack and stop an organization dedicated to fighting voter fraud. This one got the most attention.
What really upsets me is the republicans sitting on this instead of hauling ALL of them in, under oath and getting to the bottom of this. Heads should have rolled long ago. Dragging this out is making the republicans look spineless and stupid.
We know this leads to their messiah.
Anybody else notice how uncharacteristicly silent Biden has been lately?
We know. But the public has its head back up its a$$.
Yep! your correct. I hope that the GOP can tie this goon back to Shulman who visited the White House 122 times but couldn’t remember anything.

Outgoing White House Counsel (December 2009 to June 2011)
Why He Matters

Bauer is returning to New York University Law School this spring to teach a seminar on political reform.
The course will encompass campaign finance, lobbying laws, voting rights and more—topics Mr. Bauer has had ample exposure to during his 30 years of practice as a lawyer, which include stints working for political campaigns and the Democratic National Committee.
It gets better.
Read the end of this paragraph.
During his time on the campaign trail, Mr. Bauer led challenges to new voter laws backed by Republicans—including suing the state of Ohio in July—and lobbied the Federal Election Commission to allow individuals to text in donations (as did his Romney counterpart). Mr. Bauer also sought to compel the well-funded Republican advocacy group Crossroads GPS to disclose the names of its donors, citing millions of dollars the group has spent on campaign ads attacking Democrats.
This is the guy who pulled the chains with the IRS on behalf of the White House.
You can’t make this stuff up. On May 21, 2013 Obama appointed Bob Bauer to A FEC Presidential Commission on Election Administration.
