Did news coverage of a Tea Party group launching a 501(c)(4) in February 2010--including a story at NPR-- launch the two year scrutiny of Tea Party groups? It's impossible to tell for certain but the IG report does offer some clues that suggest this could be the case.
Other news outlets have speculated about what might have prompted the scrutiny but no firm conclusion seems possible since the IG report redacts the event which initiated the scrutiny. However the report does offer clues.
A detailed timeline included in the report indicates the whole affair began with a February 25, 2010 email. The contents of the email, as well as the name of the sender and recipient, have been redacted and replaced with a string of asterisks. However the next entry, dated March 1st, does provide a clue. It reads, "The Determinations Unit Group Manager asked a specialist to search for other Tea Party or similar organizations’ applications in order to determine the scope of the issue." [Emphasis added]
So we know the IRS became aware of Tea Party groups whose election activities raised an "issue." A specialist was asked to determine how widespread that issue was. We know that the focus was eventually on Tea Party related groups who had applied for 501(c)(4) status, so we can assume that was also true of the group (or groups) which were noted in the initial email....

The beast named Valerie Jarret.
Fear and Hate.
Marcy Kaptur is using today’s hearing for a platform to continue her long lost war on the Citizens United ruling.
The beast named Valerie Jarret.
Exactly. She should be put on the hot seat. She’s one evil _itch.
The SCOTUS ruling in the Citizens United case.
It quite literally scared the crap out of the Left.
They foresaw Obama being buried under a blizzard of third-party negative advertising in 2012. So they pulled out every available stop to try and head this off.
Successfully, as it turns out.
Like I said....Where’s Valerie??
Bingo. The “What” is the bitter hatred for America and the notion that anyone be allowed to think differently than Der Fuhrer 0bama and his SS.
Jarret/Obama/Holder.
The beast named Valerie Jarret.
Add in Axelrod and Michelle and you have the win place and show for a trifecta.

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
Many “beasts’ in D.C.
The IG-—you mean that guy that the Obama administration appointed to find out what they wanted it to find out and make a stupid statement.
Does anyone trust an IG that Obama appointed?
This shyt is getting laughable.
In the interest of correct English usage, Barack Obama should be referred to as "Who".
It’s a who, not a what, and the who is...Iranian Valerie Jarrett.
No but it would shift from comparing this to Watergate to the real comparison: FDR's Great Sedition Trial of 1944.
As Ms Peggy Noonan pointed out Watergate was elites using the machinery of government to spy on elites. What's happening today is the Obama Adminstration using the machinery of government government to go after "little people." E.g., using the Obama/Holder Department of Just Us and Our People.
Nixon's Articles of Impeachment listed that Nixon was being charged with endeavoring to use the IRS and another agecny; in some cases the Articles of Impeachment did say that he used a third agency. They knew the difference.
I think that Ms Peggy Noonan wrote recently: [Watergate] was elites using the machinery of government to spy on elites . . . The dreadful thing about this scandal, what makes it ominous, is that this is the elites versus regular citizens. It’s the mighty versus normal people. It’s the all-powerful directors of the administrative state training their eyes and moving on uppity and relatively undefended Americans.
Thus it ain't Watergate it is FDR's Great Sedition Trial of 1944.
The sedition was just a ruse to destroy anti-FDR and anti-communist "bloggers".
Once the little people of the opposition were disposed of the next targets would be the elite Republicans like Senator Taft and the publisher of the Chicago Tribune. Some believed.
I have oft-posted: "I like to mention A Mockery of Justice The Great Sedition Trial of 1944 often.. because I see Great "Sedition" Trials of 201x - 201x" a coming." Little did I know that it was happening all those years.
