Scandal: A retiring IRS lawyer implicates the IRS chief counsel's office, headed by an Obama appointee, as well as the head of the IRS' exempt organizations office. The targeting included a Tea Party Senate candidate.
In Thursday's hearing before the House Oversight Committee, 72-year-old retiring IRS lawyer Carter Hull implicated the IRS chief counsel's office headed by William J. Wilkins, who attended at least nine White House meetings, and Lois Lerner, head of the exempt-organizations office, in the IRS scandal.
In so doing, he made clear the targeting of Tea Party groups started in Washington and was directed from Washington.
A tax-law specialist with 48 years of IRS experience, Hull testified that Lerner, the former head of the exempt organizations division, demanded that he send some of the reviews of Tea Party groups to the IRS chief counsel's office in Washington. The chief counsel is one of two political appointees in the IRS.
According to Hull's testimony, Lerner, who famously pleaded her Fifth Amendment rights before the same committee, gave an atypical instruction that the Tea Party applications undergo special scrutiny that included an uncommon multilayer review that involved a top adviser to Lerner as well as the chief counsel's office.
Hull's name came up earlier in the testimony of Holly Paz, a D.C.-based supervisor in the IRS's tax-exempt status division, who reported to Lerner. It was on May 22, the day after Paz was interviewed by investigators, that Lerner refused to answer questions from lawmakers at a congressional hearing.

“I’m sure they’ll get on that any minute now.
***checking watch***
Yessir, any minute now...
***tapping on watch***”
You are wrong. In fact, I’m sure that they are working feverishly on this - on how to distract from it/cover it up. I’m sure that there is a strat meeting going on as I type this.
That's one 3AM call neither Obozo or the Hildabeast is ready for...
God help us.
Fixed it.
I think you are correct. If you're taking flak you're over the target.
Why would he?
We’ve kicked Him out of government schools, government court houses, public discourse, every level of government except for lip service when politicking.
The mere mention of His name is banned in most businesses.
He is seldom mentioned in media, TV, radio, stage, or the silver screen, and that’s usually only to mock or as a prefix for dammit.
Perhaps God will find the mercy to help us, but I rather doubt he will do anything to help our government or our “betters” public or private.
Why would He?
Why should He?
‘Cause He’s got plans.
I don’t find any mention of America in those plans.
Although I could argue we provide the wings of the eagle in Rev 12:14. We give the woman a couple cargo planes for her to fly to the wilderness. I guess that’s better than nothing.
Really, John F'n Kerry would be getting that one...(or his voicemail).
You know or may remember I’m a student of the Vedas; there’s plans mentioned in there. Of course the US isn’t mentioned, but the timeframe is.
We’ve got a rough part for a while but it will improve mightily.

God Bless Darrel Issa.
We need him for a Presidential candidate.

Lerner's Tea Party-hit was demanded from WHOM?
Where there's smoke there's...more smoke...and more smoke....and MORE smoke...
Does ANY one ever find the d@mn fire within this lying, fascist, treasonous administration? But don't fret, friends. GOP bulldogs/patriots Boehner, McConnell and McCain (who is back from Syria) are demanding an immediate investigation!
Oh, wait....

Am I wrong in saying that Obama is moving into the same league as Stalin and Hitler?
/s
If 100,000 trees are wiped out by a volcano in a forest, and no one hears it, do they make a sound?
I think this Gestapo assault on TP groups was actually perpetrated before the election as to prevent them from waging a campaign battle against Gangsta-0.
HA! (and hiring a food-taster/buying new wheels)
” Lerner’s Tea Party-hit was demanded from WHOM?”
Obama
Holder
” Does ANY one ever find the d@mn fire within this lying, fascist, treasonous administration? But don’t fret, friends. GOP bulldogs/patriots Boehner, McConnell and McCain (who is back from Syria) are demanding an immediate investigation!”
This is criminal.
We have no Republican party, anymore.
Gangsta-0 -- has he even ever been questioned by ANY media or GOP on any of the thousands of scandals and criminal enterprises?
The guy doesn't have to answer if no one questions him. Just amazing. Cruz and Gowdy and Lee and Paul are holding the fort. That's about it.
