WASHINGTONThe top Democrat on the House's watchdog committee says a self-described "conservative Republican" has told investigators that no one at the White House directed the Internal Revenue Service to target tea party groups. Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings Sunday released a transcript online Sunday of the House Oversight Committee investigators' conversation with a manager from the IRS' Cincinnati office. During that interview, the unidentified manager said he was unaware of any political motivation in giving extra scrutiny to tea party groups' applications for tax exempt status.
The manager was interviewed Thursday and says workers in Cincinnati instigated the applications' reviews. The manager says he has no indication of White House involvement.
Republicans have suggested tea partyers were targeted because they disagree with the Democratic administration.

Of course they weren’t in on the REVIEWS.....they had already gave orders to give conservatives a NO QUARTER!
Stephanie Cutter.
When she’s called to be asked about her many meetings with Shulman will Obama claim executive privilege? That’s what Nixon did early on. Will Shulman go to prison quietly? Will he point fingers? What about Lois Lerner? She looks like a mean bi*ch. Will she go to prison for a few years to protect Carter Hull??? Will Hull sing?
Get the popcorn ready it’s going to be an interesting summer.
Hire like-minded people and you don’t have to ask.
Fellow Travelers know what is expected of them.
I can believe that no one at the White House made any calls to the IRS to target the Tea Party groups. That would be unheard of.
Yeah, right. And my sister’s husband’s uncle has an unnamed friend in High Places who assured him that there’s nothing to see there. That should be good enough for anyone.
Can't cross-examine a transcript, can we? And if this were truly the case, we wouldn't have a certain individual taking the 5th, would we?
Carter Hull is a two-bit flunky, they don’t care about him.
No white house involvement? What I found interesting is that Cummings is defending against an allegation that most (the MSM, for example — although they probably never will. congressional republicans, for another) aren’t making (yet).
Why is he getting so far out front of this? The democrat’s usual defense for this sort of thing is to laugh it off, and call the accusers birthers and racists. But they seem to be worried about this one.
Hitler didn’t kill the Jews himself. But his lackies knew what he wanted done.
Same thing.
“When shes called to be asked about her many meetings with Shulman will Obama claim executive privilege? Thats what Nixon did early on. Will Shulman go to prison quietly? Will he point fingers? What about Lois Lerner? She looks like a mean bi*ch. Will she go to prison for a few years to protect Carter Hull??? Will Hull sing?”.....
Won’t make any difference as they will drag this scandal out till odumbo has to step down at the end of his term, then he will grant them all pardons like he will do the muzzies down it Guantanamo Bay.
His chief of staff knew about it. His lead counsel knew about it. His campaign staff knew about it. The IRS commissioner visited the WH 157 times. How freaking stoned do you have to be to miss all of that?
Elijah Cummings. LOL! What a joke. I don’t think it should be too tough to find “self-described conservative Republican” in Cincinnati. There can’t be too many of those living there. We’d like to know who it is.
Who's going to prosecute them? The DOJ and the US attorneys are in enemy hands. It would have to be a state court and prosecutor, I suspect.
This is good.
The workers in Cincinnati are already mad that they were thrown under the bus and have said so.
This will just make them wild and more determined to make the truth known.
Smart people know that when faced with legal problems, whether deserved or not, you never ever make the troops mad.
NEVER!
Needs to be explained why the IRS commissioner visited the Obama White House 157 times including meeting with Stephanie Cutter from the Obama campaign.
“Will she go to prison for a few years to protect Carter Hull??? “
Have you been sleeping? Ain’t no one going to prison. 0’s people could be caught killing someone and they would skate. GAY-RUN-TEED
