CNN Exclusive: Two ‘Rogue’ IRS Employees Blamed For Tea Party Targeting Scandal
MediaIte ^ | 05/15/2013 | by Matt Wilstein

Posted on 05/15/2013 3:20:03 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

CNN’s Drew Griffin broke into Wolf Blitzer‘s Newsroom report Wednesday afternoon to reveal new information about the investigation into the IRS’ admission that they targeted conservatives during the 2012 election year.

Griffin said a Congressional source told him that the acting commissioner of the IRS, Steven Miller, has identified two “rogue” employees in the agency’s Cincinnati office, who he characterized as “off the reservation.” The commissioner reportedly said the two, as yet unnamed, employees were “principally responsible for overly aggressive handling of Tea Party requests for tax exempt status over the past two years.” Another source, according to Griffin, said that Miller confirmed that two employees have “already been disciplined.”

“I suspect a lot of Republicans, especially, but there are a bunch of Democrats outraged by this as well,” Blitzer said, “are going to suggest this may just be the tip of the iceberg, if you will. They’re going to want to see who else could be implicated in this.”

I hope that all the fat-cat federal bureaucrats hired by Obama understand the ramifications of Obama’s scapegoat policy.

Low level employees don't spread the idea to other centers ~ but their bosses do!

For some reason CNN wants to make us think it was just the center at Cincy.

Put them on the witness stand, under oath.

They can either name who put them up to this, or they will be the target of the mother of all civil rights suit.

Too late to call them “rouge”. Bette Midler has already tweeted her support for such partisan activity by government offices.

I sure hope those low level rogue employees were able to forward e-mails to their personal accounts before they were disciplined, so they could provide documentation that they were following orders from higher ups.

Obama needs a bigger bus. Eventually people he keeps blaming will turn on him. I hope sooner than later.

Words can’t express how much I hate Obama and I hate the republicans let him get away with everything. There is no accountability at all for him.

FUBO

“THIS is a lie and a cover-up.”

Any bureaucrat who gets instructions to do something they’re antsy about would document, document, document. If they try to hang somebody that somebody had better have printed off the emails and recorded the voicemails and verbal instructions. CYA is the name of the game and any employee would be stupid not to follow the game rules.

Oh but when even a liberal nutcase shoots somebody they speculate he was incited by tea party rhetoric.

Obama talks dirt on conservative Americans every day, and these people work for his administration. Duh they got their ideas from him.
