An email recently released by the House Oversight Committee shows IRS official Sarah Ingram was pretty excited about President Obama publicly speaking out against conservative groups with "secret donors." The email was sent from Ingram to Lois Lerner and others inside the tax agency after a glowing piece was published in the New York Times about the IRS and the trouble it was having with new tax exempt applicants and groups in light of the 2010 Citizen's United ruling.
"The 'secret donor' theme will continue -- see Obama salvo and today's Diane Reeham (sp). At least SS started the idea that we don't have the law to do something," the email reads.

A second high-ranking Internal Revenue Service (IRS) official is stepping down amid the controversy over targeting Tea Party groups.
Joseph Grant, the acting commissioner for the agency’s Tax Exempt and Government Entities division, plans to retire, according to the IRS.
An internal IRS announcement said that Grant would retire from the agency on June 3. The announcement comes one day after President Obama asked for and received the resignation of Steven Miller, the IRS’s acting commissioner, who will also leave in early June.

IR-2013-47, May 8, 2013
WASHINGTON The Internal Revenue Service today announced the selection of Joseph H. Grant as commissioner of the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division and Sheldon Kay as Chief of Appeals.
Joseph and Shelly are strong leaders who will provide strong leadership and continuity in these critical parts of the IRS, said Steven T. Miller, Acting IRS Commissioner.
Grant has served as the TE/GE Deputy Director since 2007. As TE/GE Commissioner, Grant will oversee the administration of tax law relating to employee plans, tax-exempt organizations and various government entities. TE/GE serves approximately 3 million organizations.
Grant originally joined the IRS in August 2005 as director of the Employee Plans Rulings & Agreements division. Before that, he was Chief Operating Officer and a Deputy Executive Director of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). Grant also served on the staff of the Oversight and Social Security subcommittees of the House Ways and Means Committee.
UPDATED: IRS tax exemption/Obamacare exec got $103,390 in bonuses; Did Obama OK them?
Sarah Hall Ingram, the IRS executive in charge of the tax exempt division in 2010 when it began targeting conservative Tea Party, evangelical and pro-Israel groups for harassment, got more than $100,000 in bonuses between 2009 and 2012.
More recently, Ingram was promoted to serve as director of the tax agency’s Obamacare program office, a position that put her in charge of the vast expansion of the IRS’ regulatory power and staffing in connection with federal health care, ABC reported earlier today.
Ingram received a $7,000 bonus in 2009, according to data obtained by The Washington Examiner from the IRS, then a $34,440 bonus in 2010, $35,400 in 2011 and $26,550 last year, for a total of $103,390. Her annual salary went from $172,500 to $177,000 during the same period.
America lost her head. The 17th Amendment alone pulled the keystone from the Framers' careful design.
It ended free government. The result is a federal constitution without a federal government, for the constitution acts on states which no longer had representation in congress.
That would be the oils...
Why aren’t these people being arrested?
because those who would do the arresting want to do the very same thing they would have to arrest others for
>> The result is a federal constitution without a federal government, for the constitution acts on states which no longer had representation in congress.
Exactly right.
