McConnell: Obama Administration ‘Misled’ Congress, Hid Evidence to Conceal IRS Targeting
Washington Free Beacon ^ | August 6, 2015 | Morgan Chalifant

Posted on 08/06/2015 11:59:28 AM PDT by lbryce

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) accused the Obama administration of misleading Congress and hiding evidence in order to conceal the effort by the Internal Revenue Service to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.

The Hill reported that McConnell slammed the White House in a statement Wednesday following the release of a bipartisan Senate Finance Committee report that revealed the extent to which the “delinquent” IRS mismanaged applications from Tea Party groups.

“The report makes clear that civic groups were harassed specifically because they identified as conservative,” McConnell declared. “It underlines the seething contempt partisan officials like Lois Lerner had for them. It also reveals that administration officials continually misled Congress and attempted to hide evidence that might have brought the truth to light sooner.”

Among the 142-page report’s key findings, it concluded that Lois Lerner, former head of the government agency’s Exempt Organizations Unit, “failed to adequately manage” members of her staff processing the applications in question for two years beginning in 2010.

Lois Lerner: “failed to adequately manage”

That's it? We're done? ...everyone can go home, collect their big taxpayer funded pensions.

F'ing figures.

Are our hopes now pinned to Judicial Watch to put Lois Lerner in prison?

Butt holes like McConnell are why I no longer identify with the Republican Party.

I hate the word “misled” in this title. It should be LIED, there is no other word for what they did.

The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal. Why are you complicit, Mitch?

“failed to adequately manage”

That will leave a mark!

A very, very tiny mark, maybe somewhere on her heel...
