The chief counsels office for the Internal Revenue Service, headed by a political appointee of President Obama, helped develop the agencys problematic guidelines for reviewing tea party cases, according to a top IRS attorney.
In interviews with congressional investigators, IRS lawyer Carter Hull said his superiors told him that the chief counsels office, led by William Wilkins, would need to review some of the first applications the agency screened for additional scrutiny because of potential political activity.
Previous accounts from IRS employees had shown that Washington IRS officials were involved in the controversy, but Hulls comments represent the closest connection to the White House to date. No evidence to date has definitively linked the White House to the agencys behavior.
According to a partial transcript released by House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and House Ways and Means chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.), the chief counsels office also discussed using a template letter to ask questions about the groups activities, despite Hulls warning that such a boilerplate approach would be impractical.

If he was in the US Congress, he’d still have his seat and no punishments (see Al Franken).
Obama ordered his IRS to rig the election for it and democrats/communists in the Congress and Senate.
