Top IRS officials specifically targeted tea party groups and misled the public about its secret political targeting program led by ex-official Lois Lerner, according to a bombshell new congressional report.
The Daily Caller has obtained an advance copy of a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee report set to be released Tuesday morning that definitively proves malicious intent by the IRS to improperly block conservative groups that an IRS adviser deemed icky. (Thats right. Icky.)
The Committee has identified eight senior leaders who were in a position to prevent or to stop the IRSs targeting of conservative applicants, the Oversight report states. Each of these leaders could have and should have done more to prevent the IRSs targeting of conservative tax-exempt applicants.
Here are six major takeaways from the report:
1. The IRS admitted that the front office was spinning about the targeting rumors as early as 2012, after IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman denied the tea party targeting to Congress.
This is what the front office and [IRS Chief of Communications and Liaison] Frank [Keith] are spinning about now, an IRS legislative affairs office employee wrote in an email to co-workers, referring to a news article on Shulmans dishonest testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee, in which he denied rumors of improper targeting.

Let me know when some high ranking government official (preferably Obama) is taken out via perp-walk to jail.
Too many Low Info Voters got “Grubered” in 2008 and beyond; now I just want justice for these corrupt SOBs!
I am sure when Jeb Bush becomes president this will all get fixed.
Since conservatives have been portrayed as all white this would be institutional racism.
LOL and ***sigh***, good old Elijah...true to form.
How convenient.
It will never see the light of day.
That's the plan, isn't it?
I feel like I've somehow taken up residence in the former Soviet Union.
Some of the few things missing are the torture chambers in the basement of the Lubyanka and the Gulags for those who oppose the Communist government.
But that is coming, no?
Anyone who likes the Orwellian-named “Fair” Tax is an economic moron.
There is nothing “fair” about it.
Starting with their insistance on the deceptive ‘tax-inclusive’ rates, to the ‘prebate’ of a government handout to anyone making less than a certain (government named) amount
Every Democrat in the country would we trampling over everyone else to offer a bigger ‘prebate’ if you just elect them
The ‘Tax-inclusive’ rate is impossible to figure outin your hear and is rediculously high to start with
The Question: Will there be consequences for these IRS employees?
The Answer: No, of course not. This is the Obama administration.
Establishment Republicans won’t do anything about this because they hate the conservatives and tea partiers even more than Democrats do.
I guess Boehner and McConnell want to bury this, too.
This was not the actions of “rogue” IRS officials, but was initiated by likely White House operatives with the full cooperation of uber liberal IRS employee like Lois Lerner. If Lerner were facing years in federal prison she might be willing to rat on her White House contact. My bet the trail would lead to Valerie Jarret.
If not totally complicit.
