Via Mediaite, it took a few days but at last we have some fall guys. Its ludicrous, of course, to think the problem was limited to two people the IG report last night specifically blamed ineffective management and, as Guy Benson reminds us, we already know that knowledge of the harassment went all the way up the chain but pay attention to the fine print in the video clip at 1:22. Miller, the commissioner, apparently acknowledged that the IRSs mishandling of this went beyond the two rogues. Evidently theyre setting up to put most of the blame on the two employees and then appease critics with some perfunctory mistakes were made shinola-eating from the higher-ups. All we need now is for some IRS exec to whine that the agencys gotten too big to manage effectively and the self-serving scandal narrative will be complete. An obvious question: When they say the employees went off the reservation, are they suggesting that theyre prepared to acknowledge that they had a malevolent political agenda as opposed to just being overzealous in policing 501(c)(4)s or whatever? Im keen to know what going rogue means in this case.
Meanwhile, Sean Higgins asks a good question: Why do the IG reports timelines of what happened in this case begin with a heavily redacted entry?
On top of page 13 is a graph titled Figure 5: Timeline of Events and Delays Involving the Processing of Potential Political Cases (******1***** through May 2012) that redacts the first item, not even giving a date. A spokesman for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee confirmed the ****1**** item was Treasurys style for redactions.
The mystery date was apparently February 25, 2010, based on two appendixes in the back of the report

Two? Does not pass the smell test. I bet they were bought off.
“THE FISH ROTS FROM THE HEAD DOWN”.....
If Republicans buy that only two people in an organization as large as the IRS are the only culprits they are not worthy of anything other than contempt for their devoted(?) service. Though Obama might not have been explicit/direct as to actions and people he only had to ask the innocent(?) question of ‘There must be some way to get at these other guys and I want someone to find that way. Pass the message down because Valerie Jarret needs something to give to our enablers’. These kinds of diabolical government actions are not on the calenders of just two people.
And the Underside of the Bus gets just a bit more crowded.
I believe more IRS offices were involved than 2 across the country! So these two people were the only ones to review all non-profit requests!
Man we Americans must have a label on our foreheads that says STUPID!
I’m angry! You’re angry! We’re all angry! I’m walkin here!
And Barry your out of ORDER!
If BArry had a son it would be twin rouge IRS Agents!
“A Man’s gotta know his limitations”
“Make My day”
And I guess these same 2 stole the 60million medical records as well?
The IRS agents all have manuals, books and guidelines that tell them how to properly do their legal job functions. These procedures must be laid out on paper or pdf some where.
.... and how did all of the tea party apps get funneled to these two?
