Top White House aides first learned of a draft report detailing IRS abuses in targeting conservative groups in late April, but they chose to insulate President Obama by not informing him until it exploded in the press, the president’s spokesman said Monday.
White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters Monday that White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler learned about an IRS inspector general’s draft report looking into the singling out of conservative groups on April 24. She advised senior White House staff including chief of staff Denis McDonough — about the then-draft report, but Mr. Carney said she believed that Mr. Obama shouldn’t be told and other staffers followed her advice.
“To be clear, we knew the subject of the investigation and we knew of the nature of some of the potential findings, but we did not have a copy of the draft report,” he said. “We did not know the details, the scope or the motivation surrounding the misconduct, and we did not know who was responsible.”
Mr. Obama, as well as Mr. Carney, have said they did not know that the IRS was targeting conservative groups until news of the impending IRS inspector general’s report broke in the press May 10. Mr. Obama has said he will not tolerate the political targeting by the IRS and forced the resignation of acting IRS Commissioner Stephen Miller.

A decent and honest president would do that but of course he's neither and was probably behind the unconstitutional singling out in the first place.
Oh and G Gordon Liddy was just a staffer that was out of control....
I’ll get my time machine and let President Nixon know to throw him under the bus in 1972.....
Yep, time for a new slogan: “The Buck Never Got Here”.
“The Buck Never Got There”
Unless it is money from a Democrap group then the Bucks come into there...
Either Obama knew what was happening and let it happen or is so incompetent that he knows nothing about what is going on. In either case he should resign the presidency or be impeached.
I’m waiting for Chris Matthews to say Obama is the best President ever, he just had the most corrupt Administration in history.

“Apparently, they just deactivate him when he’s done reading the teleprompter for the day. He used to be in charge of everything.”
OMG. That’s so funny!
Waiting to hear Williams and Beckel splain it away.
I really want to hear the Left spin their heads off.
The regime got saved by a tornado in Oklahoma...
The way they’re going, they’ll be talking nonstop tornadoes for the next few hours.
They have to inform him, that’s their fricking job. Bunch of LIARS.
And bozo probably instructed them to do so.
You’re exactly right. There’s no way they would not tell him unless he told them not to tell him...Liars all.
See no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil.
Well, it worked for the clintons and Sandy Burglar, didn't it?
Oh, and don't forget Madelene Halfbright...
