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.

Good.
Here comes the idiot.
Can’t find the thread, but source said it had been pre-planned by Dems to go after George today.
that was my line
She doesn’t know how to form an intelligent question.
Ms Norton
uh um uh um uh um
You have to look at the entire universe.....
I remember seeing that and also saw something on Twitter about the dem strategy too. It is all obfuscation.
“Here comes the idiot.”
Apparently went to the obama school of um, speech class. Is there a question or a sentence in anything the says?
That was my question.........she is obviously from another planet, looks like of the apes, no racial slur intended, she really does.
Norton is a moronic hack.
You can’t target everybody.
Brain. Stem. That. Speaks.
MZZZZ.Norton doesn’t see that she’s making the GOP case as far as targeting is concerned. No prog groups were turned up because none were targeted.
Yep, and now Norton is being a rat.
She has her universes mixed up.
Exactly, is that just rich. I am amazed.
How can one come to the conclusion that groups were not targeted based on their name....
Yes, if you are targeting, you are picking them out. Hello?
They had the names “Tea Party”, “Conservative”, “Patriot”
What a stupid idiot...yes, that’s why CONSERVATIVES are saying THEY were targeted...and liberals were not, that is why you won’t see liberal groups (i.e. occupy, progressive, etc) names.
Wow....does she not even hear her own argument or line of questioning and how she contradicts her own self??? Trying to project her idiocy on this witness and make him to be the one lying or inconsistent. Typical liberal progressive....brain of mush.
It's an outrage that she's even there. She has no Constitutional authority whatsoever for her presence.
She was talking about methodology, doncha know. ooohh - Red Herring mention which I nailed Elijah on from the get go today.
Worse. I understand that, when one gets next to her, they can hear the ocean...
This is blatant discrimination, targeting groups by the substance of their name, and the color of their skin.......make no mistake.
