Outgoing acting IRS chief Steven Miller was busted by Sen. Chuck Grassley while testifying before the Senate Finance Committee. That planted question that prompted the IRS’ Lois “Math is Hard” Lerner to admit the agency targeted conservatives was all Miller’s brilliant idea.
Miller now says he came up with idea to plant the question for Lerner

Exit question:
Why didn't Miller take responsibility for planting the question when he was asked last week? What's he hiding?
