Any thoughts on why they would reveal this? Seems kind of stupid and self defeating.

Yeah, I was wondering that myself.
Usually leftists are “all in” on anything that advances their agenda and their power.

I5t’s a dog whistle to encourage other Progressive bureaucrats to do the same at greater frequency and volume.

It does seem kind of self defeating, doesn’t it. Maybe they should be asked why it took them so long to come forward with this revelation and why they are revealing it now. Methinks this isn’t about them wanting to do the right thing, because that could have happened when the incidents happened.

That’s what I keep wondering—why all of this stuff is just coming out—I suppose it could be a Benghazi smokescreen but with the IRS being the Obamacare police, something tells me all of this IRS stuff is leading up to the repeal of Obamacare...

It's time to pick sides on this one. If they thought they were eventually going to get dragged into it. Give something up quickly. This way, they might be able to hide the fact that they were actively collaborating with the IRS to get Conservative Groups denied Tax Exempt Status.

I am so suspicious of this and all the other info that’s coming to light. What’s going on?

I looked into ProPublica's side of it. They state they contacted the IRS immediately and were repeatedly ignored and then told it was only a minor mistake.

I suspect they came forward for two reasons: first, to be the knowing recipient of this stuff is to be very vulnerable to legal action and to end up holding the bag when the denials start from the IRS, and second, because part of their mission is to be a watchdog for precisely this sort of thing.

I think there is a tendency in some quarters in DC to consider this sort of thing borderline legal and one of the perquisites of office. It isn't anything of the sort, it's quite a bit like sending the army after political opponents, and I suggest that most of the people behind it aren't quite old enough to remember Richard Nixon getting burned for it. Or perhaps they felt they'd never be caught, or that they could bluster their way out of it. They're trying the latter now.
