The House Ways and Means Committee holds the first Congressional hearing on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) subjecting applicants for tax-exempt status to higher levels of scrutiny based on political leanings.
Witnesses include Acting IRS Commissioner Steve Miller who resigned on Wednesday and the Treasury Department’s Inspector General Russell George for Tax Administration.
Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) said the IRS' targeting of "American taxpayers based on politics is both astounding and appalling." He stated that the Committee will "get to the bottom of this practice and ensure it never takes place again.”
In announcing the hearing, Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) said that it is "essential that there be a thorough and bipartisan investigation and effective remedial action.”
Since June 2011, the Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating whether the Internal Revenue Service discriminated against taxpayers based on political opinions.
I might add to that if IRS asked a group the contents of their prayers...we have a religious rights and separation of powers problem to add to articles of impeachment.
Let’s hope they (Gop-lite) doesn’t let this line of recovering information stop.
BTTT!
Back part looks like “Kiss”?
No. Oak Park is on the west side of Chicago. Obozo lives on the south side in Hyde Park.
Bender are you drunk YET you would at end of this today IRS hearing ROFL
No, the WH learned on April 22nd of the investigation. The kenyan says his lawyer didn’t tell him, then he saw it on the news friday!
I don’t think the Obamas will ever go back to Chicago. They will run off to their Mega Mansion in Hawaii and never look back.
Gosh Barry, if you as a lawyer had a client that had to learn something from the “news” instead of you first, ya think you would FIRE your lawyer and start to wonder why everyone around you either knows nothing (the ones you appointed to be CEO’s of agencies) or they don’t tell you anything?
Mr Lacey and I are heading out for 3 weeks on a cruise. I’m beginning to wonder if we’ll have a country to come back to.
Diversion and evasion are tools of deceit
My tag line says it all for Miller...
What a GD liar....
I don’t think so either. Why would anybody want to live there now? I was born and raised in Chicago but it’s the last place I would want to live now. It’s a hell-hole.
You can always come to Texas...we will be first to tell DC to GTH....lol.
Mr. Miller, diversion and evasion are tools of deceit
Rep. Black calls them out, “This is targeting.”
Tom Reed R-NY
TargetingGate
I like this guy!!
Rep. Reed of NY “Targeting-Gate.”
When the kenyan “knew” is irrelevant and the GOP leadership needs to call him out for that dodge. This is all Obama Admin operations and the OBAMA IRS is still refusing to admit it was targeting despite the IG report.
When will somebody ask which news channel the President of the United States watches to get his news? Inquiring minds want to know.
