Acting IRS head Miller resigns after agency controversy
Jerusalem Post ^ | 15/5/13

WASHINGTON - Steven Miller, who resigned on Wednesday as the acting head of the Internal Revenue Service, said in a message to colleagues that there is a "strong and immediate need" to restore public trust in the nation's tax agency.

Miller resigned after the IRS became embroiled in a controversy over the agency's targeting of conservative groups for extra scrutiny.

"It is with regret that I will be departing from the IRS as my acting assignment ends in early June," Miller said in an internal message that was released by the IRS. "This has been an incredibly difficult time for the IRS given the events of the past few days, and there is a strong and immediate need to restore public trust in the nation's tax agency."

So he needed to leave weeks earlier, just as this was hitting the fan.

He'll just be replaced with another good little Commie who will continue the attacks on conservatives.

His resignation letter highlighted that. Kicked some dirt at Barry.

He didn’t want to apply for the permanent position? His application was turned down? Why? Because the bus’ undercarriage had to be fed? Because he’s an incompetent boob? Both?

[Miller] was scheduled to leave in early June anyway. Meaningless.

Miller also ran the harassment of conservatives and right-wing organizations during the 90's as part of the Clinton administration. He was probably one of the administrators responsible for this particular scandal.

Miller should probably be jailbait.

as former Senator from Ohio and AG under Nixon (the last one) Bill Saxbe once said, “that’s like shooting the guy that plays the piano in the cat house.”

“The wheels on the bus go thump thump thump...”

Except zero flies around on a magic carpet.
He is living proof that America was not ready for a black president and demonstrating it to the fullest.

...there is a strong and immediate need to restore public trust in the nation's tax agency pretend that we will stop targeting conservatives.

I’d sure like to know if the fake tea party groups were targeted.

If they weren’t that suggests even deeper democrat complicity.

Utterly predictable. Had to be someone high enough to be deemed worthy as a sacrificial victim, but not anyone who had any serious power.

This guy was a placeholder. And “acting” head of the IRS.

Suuuure... that will solve everything.

That’s pretty neat. Commit a federal crime, resign from your job, walk away probably with a bonus, nice pension and free non-obamacare health care.

How nice. Arrests no longer allowed in the Obama administration?
