WASHINGTON (AP) — The Internal Revenue Service's screening of groups seeking tax-exempt status was broader and lasted longer than has been previously disclosed, the new head of the agency said Monday.
An internal IRS document obtained by The Associated Press said that besides "tea party," lists used by screeners to pick groups for close examination also included the terms "Israel," ''Progressive" and "Occupy." The document said an investigation into why specific terms were included was still underway.
In a conference call with reporters, Danny Werfel said that after becoming acting IRS chief last month, he discovered wide-ranging and improper terms on the lists and said screeners were still using them. He did not specify what terms were on the lists, but said he suspended the use of all such lists immediately.

Yes, and Mitt Romney should consider either a criminal or civil procedure in an attempt to gain full disclosure from the guvmint.
The facts show these groups were granted tax-exempt status quickly.
So when they said it was just two guys, they lied, and when they said they stopped, they lied, but this time they are not lying because...
The tax gestapo is Always right, that is why they are going to be your new health care provider. Just walk down the line, and the IRS agent will choose if you go to the left, or go to the right.
Work makes Free!

“Whenever the Left is found to be corrupt, they and the media manage to proclaim that Both Sides do it; and then all is forgotten.”
Exactly!! My lib sister does this every....single.....time.....that Obama or a democrat gets caught in corruption or scandal. Every.single.time!!
BBBBBWWWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAAH
Buy that BS and I got a kenyan, no indonesian, no, no wait, wait, a British passport and a sosh security number from Connecticut I want to sell you. Along with some bond issues for a bridge in Brooklyn.
but Werfel is a new guy right? He's only been there a month. So he's not the one who said it was just 2 guys, is he? And he's not the one who said they stopped, is he? It seems to me that this guy is being more forthcoming.
Congress still needs to trace the problem to it's roots and weed out everyone involved including Sarah Ingram and Everyone involved in the Washington DC office.
Fine, we want names, firings, and long prison sentences. Without those things, we can’t tell that the Federal government understands it’s legitimate roll.
PROGRESSIVE my REAR END. Dissolve this agency that has turned into nothing but POLITICAL MUSCLE for THE FOREIGNERS REGIME. It’s about time to cut the fat out of government.
Honestly, a little too effing late...
Resulted in TWO fraudulent elections....
People need to go to jail.
Typical cover up.
Appointed by Obama. You think he will do anything about it?
Just wait until the contents of Mr. Snowdens laptops are analyzed. The Obama regime will be an amateur in the blackmail game.
Being appointed by Obama is definitely strike one. But the heat is on, perhaps Obama went with someone who was legit given the heat. It's not like the IRS can help him get reelected now. And there's always a slim chance he accidently appointed an honest rat.
I’m sure they went after groups with “Israel” in their names but they sure as hell didn’t go after liberal groups BECAUSE they were liberal. I’m betting that’s a lie.
He was appointed to his previous position by Obumbler. So what do you think?

Yep. Union gangster thugs. I didn’t even know that they had a union until this came out.
If it’s “over”, then why is Lois Lerner still on paid administrative leave?
Has he been asked if any of the Tea Party et al requests were granted? I’d like to know if any had been approved.
