House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) revealed new testimony from IRS employees on CNN's State of The Union on Sunday. According to transcribed excerpts released by the Committee, a Cincinnati IRS employee made it clear they were told by Washington, D.C. personnel to give extra scrutiny to Tea Party groups:
Q: In early 2010, was there a time when you became aware of applications that referenced Tea Party or other conservative groups?
A: In March of 2010, I was made aware.
******
Q: Okay. Now, was there a point around this time period when [your supervisor] asked you to do a search for similar applications?
A: Yes.
Q: To the best of your recollection, when was this request made?
A: Sometime in early March of 2010.
******
Q: Did [your supervisor] give you any indication of the need for the search, any more context?
A: He told me that Washington, D.C., wanted some cases.
******
Q: So as of April 2010, these 40 cases were held at that moment in your group; is that right?
A: Some were.
Q: How many were held there?
A: Less than 40. Some went to Washington, D.C.
Q: Okay. How many went to Washington, D.C.?
A: I sent seven.
******
Q: So you prepared seven hard copy versions of the applications to go to Washington, D.C.?
A: Correct.
******
Q: Did he give you any sort of indication as to why he requested you to do that?
A: He said Washington, D.C. wanted seven. Because at one point I believe I heard they were thinking 10, but it came down to seven. I said okay, seven.

Akin to giving kudos to a gang member saying he wanted to 'get out' so he could go to college, become a great person, and help his mama....after building a 20 page rap sheet.
There’s no indication the specific targeting of conservative groups was going on prior to 2010.
I’m going to give this woman the benefit of the doubt that she was a person of conscience and took a stand when it counted.
She may be one of the keys to unraveling the criminality.
I agree. I dont know why in this Internet-based world there is such pressure to get things over quickly. I, personally, would LIKE to keep a wounded Holder in place for the next three years.
I am very torn about this. The longer these clowns stay in office the more damage they can do, but at the same time the faster they are out the sooner the low information voters will go back to thinking about the Kardashians and waiting to be told who to vote for by the LSM.
This article shows Proof Obama ordered his IRS to rig the election
Your right about Janet....plus she has been awful quite lately....think she does not want to be connected to the scandal..
zero can't fire Holder - the AG has ALL the dirt on zero AND the klintoon.
No, Holder has to have an 'accident'. ...................................................................... FRegards
