Compost sweeping it under the rug.

The Republican-led House Ways and Means committee on Tuesday plans to hold the fifth hearing on the IRS’ inappropriate targeting of conservative groups.
Viewers who watch Tuesday’s hearing can expect to see the congressional panel — especially its GOP members — draw out dramatic accounts of the worst experiences from the review process.
A representative from one of the targeted groups said the review process was “pretty much a proctology exam through your earlobe,” while others complained that their applications had been lost or that the IRS demanded names of board members, copies of meeting minutes and résumés, among other detailed information.
The constant hearings are likely to be taking a toll on morale within the IRS community, particularly among the rank-and-file employees and managers in the agency’s tax-exemption division, who have been blamed for lack of oversight and proper management in the affair.
“The constant hammering the IRS is taking right now will be detrimental for those who are doing a good job,” said Max Stier, president of the Partnership for Public Service. “It’s demoralizing for the whole system.”

Burping at the dinner table is "inappropriate".
Targeting a political enemies list with a department of government is criminal.
“five and counting” is not “constant hearings” and every new hearing reveals more dirty deeds.
Does the WashCompost think they can squeeze a single tear from taxpayers by trying to paint the power-mad IRS as a victim in this obviously criminal enterprise?
They really do cater to the lowest of the low-information Democrat voters...and university professors.
Well, Max, you'll take the aural proctology and LIKE it, by damn. If it were up to me all you weasels who had anything to do with this, including providing cover and moral support for those responsible, would be put under a guillotine and your last vision would be the basket your head will fall in.
“Partnership for Public Service.”
Government bow wow apologists, inc.
“Never let a good crisis go to waste”
This is the time to call for the joint to be dissolved, boarded up and properties sold.
Republicans need to appeal to the American public to close the IRS and present a new, logical tax system. Make the Democrats vote on it, in or lose.
The Washington Compost is just helping to keep us moving along. Nothing to see here, just another partisan witch hunt.
Compost sweeping it under the rug.
I would sure hope the Congress is going to DO MORE THAN just have hearings. Burn the IRS to the ground. Time for a different way to raise revenue.
Have we entered into the “normalization” phase where these things are considered normal yet?
Dragline: They got their rules. We ain’t got nothin’ to do with that. Would probably have happened to him sooner or later anyway, a complainer like him. He gotta learn the rules the same as anybody else.
Luke: Yeah, them poor old bosses need all the help they can get.
Having worked in large organizations, briefly but several times, I don't believe this in any meaningful sense. When those who are out of line are being exposed and corrected, decent people in the same organization are thrilled that it is finally happening. The only ones who mind are the criminals at IRS, and I don't care if their moral declines to the point that they quit.
It is entertaining when the best strategy the big government leftists can come up with is trying to get low information voters to feel sorry for the poor abused IRS stooges. I think that will be a tough sell with anyone who works for a living and with anyone who hopes to eventually work for a living.
Boo freaking wooo...
You don't think the IRS is taking a toll on the American people?! Try dealing with any of them...clueless & dumb and proper English doesn't exist.
They don't know the answer to anything. And don't question them why or they will hang up on you (if they decide to even show up that day).
Pampered bunch of overpaid keyboard cops who can't even get that right.
NOW they are REFUSING to answer who told them to target conservatives! Subpoena them and if they don't talk FIRE THEM without pay & benefits!
Cry me a river! The lives they have ruined is unbelievable and incalculable. And NO ONE has ever paid a price for it! It's time they are held accountable as in CLOSE DOWN THE DAMN PLACE! Let them get real jobs where they have to at least show up everyday!

WEDDINGS/CELEBRATIONS; Florence Pan, Max Stier
Florence Yu Pan and Max Ian Stier were married yesterday at the New Zealand Embassy in Washington. Rabbi M. Bruce Lustig performed the ceremony, which was followed by a Chinese wedding banquet.
The bride, who graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, and the bridegroom, a summa cum laude graduate of Yale, met at Stanford University, where both received law degrees with distinction.
Ms. Pan, 37, is keeping her name. She is an assistant United States attorney in Washington, where she prosecutes organized crime and narcotics trafficking cases. She is a daughter of Felicia D. Pan and Wu-Ching Pan of Cliffside Park, N.J. Her father retired as an importer of precision tools and an exporter of electronics and telephone equipment in Tenafly, N.J. Her mother retired as a statistician at the United Nations in New York, where she was an editor of the ‘’The Statistical Yearbook’’ and other publications.
Mr. Stier, 38, is the president of the Partnership for Public Service, an organization in Washington that works to attract college graduates and graduate students to public service. His previous marriage ended in divorce.
First lady Michelle Obama told a group of government employees last month: "Federal workers are this invisible face. No one knows what they do, what it means, how much they benefit us."
Federal workers are motivated not by fame or fortune, but by a desire to serve our country.
