"Carls Junior."

House Republicans plan to ratchet up scrutiny of the IRS during a hearing Thursday morning where agency workers are expected to discuss the involvement of high-level officials in slowing down applications from Tea Party groups.
For the first time, the House oversight committee has invited two key agency officials to testify. Republican leaders of the committee claimed Wednesday that one of them recently revealed that the IRS chief counsel's office -- led by a political appointee -- played a role, along with embattled IRS official Lois Lerner, in scrutinizing conservative groups.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the committee, told Fox News that agency officials in Cincinnati were taking their orders from Washington, and that the investigation needs to look next at both Lerner and the counsel's office.
"As a part of this ongoing investigation, the committees have learned that the IRS Chief Counsel's office in Washington, D.C. has been closely involved in some of the applications," Issa and other Republicans wrote in a letter to IRS Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel.

Don’t be a tool.
They are all about protecting POTUS.
Ms. Maloney is full of Baloney.
Jordan and Chaffetz -— both excellent! They bring clarity to the hearing...and some momentum.
I thought that was Cummings that asked Chaffetz to yield...?
The lady speaking is an idiot.
She says that political groups should get no exemption.
She then says the IRS should not make determinations about political activity?
HUH?
Like the admin is going to contact low level employes, what a laugh.
.
Wow.. Those two are protecting team 0bama. This is all for show, with these two agreeing that the IRS ‘targeting’ was not politically motivated.
After Chaffetz made the closing statement that this went to WH.....Issa redirected that it was opinion and hearing would stick to the facts. I thought he was talking about Chafftez but could be wrong.
Maloney trying to say ‘unsubstantiated’ - can’t get it out - finally gives up.
We need more like Jordan...he’s direct, professional and doesn’t waste any time getting to the point.
*************
And he does his homework!
Has Gowdy been on yet?
No, they are not. Maloney is asking if anyone associated with the Obama Campaign contacted, influenced or pressured them.
She is being very careful to not ask about administration officials.
"Carls Junior."
No..not yet.
No
Good catch.
Maloney: “The idea that the Dems would use the tax system to control the vote is ridiculous.”
HOLD THE HORSES. No one accused anyone of that, yet.
Denying before being accused is a sign of what ?
Now she’s going off about some country in the Middle East. AND she won’t shut up, even though Issa has tried three times.
