During the Nixon administration, there were attempts to use the Internal Revenue Services in manners that might be comparable in terms of misusing it. I'm not saying the actions taken here are comparable, he told a House Appropriations subcommittee. This is unprecedented.

Bears repeating huh.

Once again, here's a person that can't resist the magnetism of the perceived "worst president ever", when trying to explain what's going on here. Frankly, I don't think Nixon every actually used the IRS to target his foes. If others have a better memory, please mention it.

What Obama and his crew have done here, is way way way over the line. It's striped jump-suit time here, and I think a number of folk are going down for this.

This was a criminal enterprise. And as many visits as the brass were making to the White House, it's going to be very hard to deny any knowledge of this.

Poor source maybe, Wikipedia, but the point is made ( the joint committee, no doubt with preponderance of Democrats...come to think of it, probably just didn’t want republicans countering with what LBJ and JFK had done).

“According to Dean, Colson later compiled hundreds of names on a “master list” which changed constantly. On December 20, 1973, the Congressional Joint Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation concluded that people on the “Enemies” list had not been subjected to an unusual number of tax audits.”
