IRS Lawyer Says Scandal Was Overseen by D.C. - Daily Caller
|
Top IRS officials in Washington, D.C. planned and oversaw the agencys improper targeting of conservative groups, according to the 72-year old retiring IRS lawyer who will testify Thursday before the House Oversight Committee, the Daily Caller reports:
Retiring IRS lawyer Carter C. Hull implicated the IRS Chief Counsels office, headed by Obama appointee William J. Wilkins, and Lois Lerner, the embattled head of the IRS exempt organizations office, in the IRS targeting scandal and made clear that the targeting started in Washington, according to leaked interviews that Hull granted to the Oversight Committee in advance of Thursdays hearing.
Started in D.C. did it? Who knew ?
Treasury Inspector General J. Russell George will return to Republican chairman Darrell Issas committee Thursday along with two central characters in the IRS saga: Hull and Cincinnati-based IRS employee Elizabeth Hofacre, who previously gave Hulls name to congressional investigators, fingering him as her Washington-based supervisor.
We were simply following orders from the Reichssicherheitshauptamt
Hull is naming names.
Yes, give us the names please.
In April 2010, Mr. Hull was instructed to scrutinize certain Tea Party applications by one of his superiors in Washington. According to Mr. Hull, these applications were used as test cases and assigned to him because of his expertise and because IRS leadership in Washington was trying to find out how [the IRS] should approach these organizations, and how [the IRS] should handle them, according to Oversight Committee documents.
We were searching for voters guidance.
According to Hulls testimony, Ms. Lerner
gave an atypical instruction that the Tea Party applications undergo special scrutiny that included an uncommon multi-layer review that involved a top advisor to Lerner as well as the Chief Counsels office, according to Oversight Committee documents.
"Atypical" ....unless of course you are a democratic campaign activist
Much more, right after the page break.
