We have President Obama’s official response to the inspector general’s report on the IRS and its targeting of conservative groups, and that response is: Treasury Secretary Jack Lew will totally handle it. We wouldn’t want to be in the room when those rogue low-level employees get a stern talking-to. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is sending out signals, though, that he’s going to demand a bit more of a response than that before this case is closed.
Unfortunately, the IG #IRS report (http://t.co/QaRNgVoP6L) raises more questions than it answers.

What we know for sure is that #IRS personnel responsible for granting tax exemptions targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny.

That is why we should forget any Gov involvement and hire PRIVATE SECTOR for any investigation. We simply no longer trust Gov.— Bob Doty (@bobdoty) May 15, 2013
@DarrellIssa There better be a special prosecutor for this and not Mr. Holder. There is little trust left for DC.
