New IRS Chief Apologizes To Conservatives For Agency Targeting Them Despite Obama Claiming No Such Scandal Exists
Image
Someone didn’t get the memo.

Quote:
The new head of the IRS has apologized to those who suffered because of the agency’s targeting of conservative groups, after he testified before a House subcommittee for the first time.

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told reporters after the hearing before the House Ways and Means Committee that the singling out of such organizations for special scrutiny would be “intolerable,” and vowed the IRS is not doing so now.

“It won’t happen going forward,” Koskinen said. “And to the extent that people suffered accordingly, I apologize for that.”

Koskinen also expressed concern over the amount of time and manpower being spent by the IRS on the investigation into the scandal, calling the probe a “major drain” on resources.

“Which is one of the reasons I hope we can get to closure as soon as possible to get it behind us,” he said. “The facts will be what they are and we’ll respond appropriately. But we have a lot of resources that we could actually put to productive use dealing with services to taxpayers.”

[url]Lois Lerner Changes Mind, Will Testify Before Congress About IRS Tea Party Scandal[/url]
Image
Testifying. Not testifying. Pleading the fifth. Demanding immunity.

Enough of this French Farce.

Lerner abused the power of her office to wage attacks against American citizens.


Quote:
Former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner, a central figure in the IRS scandal, will appear before Congress Wednesday after refusing to testify last year on the matter, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said Sunday.

Issa, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, told “Fox News Sunday” that Lerner’s lawyers said she will testify before his committee, after saying last week that she would not.

“It’s going to be a good, fact-finding hearing,” he said.

Issa said he didn’t know why Lerner’s lawyers changed their mind, but suggested Lerner testifying was “in her best interest,” considering the recent evidence the committee had gathered.

Issa and Lerner’s attorneys have argued about whether she is protected under the Fifth Amendment from having to testify.

In May 2013, Lerner invoked the amendment right during her first-and-only appearance before the House committee, but only after she professed her innocence during an opening statement.

It's really a shame deranged conservatives have absolutely no proof of that. So why does Stupid lie?

WRONG! This went all the way to the top of the agency who knew for at least two years this was going on and denied it was happening to Congress.

Oh you mean IRS Commissioner Douglas H. Shulman, a republican who was appointed by President George W. Bush, right, Stupid?

Who's the liar now?

The Lois Lerner Emails That Were Lost Forever After Her Hard Drive Crashed Have Miraculously Reappeared

Image
You're looking at the party who was lying the whole time.

This ought to wipe the smirk off of their faces.


Quote:
The emails of Lois Lerner that had been feared to have been lost forever in the bowels of the internet for all of eternity have now been found and recovered by the IRS Inspector General.

On Friday, the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) announced to congressional staffers that the emails had been discovered among “disaster recovery tapes” which are used as backup for the IRS email system. From the Washington Examiner:

Quote:
“They just said it took them several weeks and some forensic effort to get these emails off these tapes,” a congressional aide told the Washington Examiner.


Up to 30,000 emails have been discovered and now committees in both the House and Senate are seeking the emails, which may contain evidence to support the claim that the Obama administration was working in conjunction with the IRS to target Tea Party-affiliated groups.
