I think it's pretty clear that they're OK with suppressing tea party & conservative groups, especially if their fingerprints don't have to be on it.
The GOP has had a DEEP HATRED for the tea parties since the beginning, to think WE THE PEOPLE had the audacity to expect accountability from our representatives the GOP could have cared less that the IRS did this to tea party groups!!! After what they did to Trump we can ALL rest assured that they had NO INTENTION of holding the IRS responsible they were HAPPY the tea party groups were held at arms length!!! CORRUPT BASTARDS all of them!!!!
