Letters from the IRS to tea party-related organizations in Oklahoma City and Albuquerque, New Mexico show that IRS headquarters in Washington, D.C., and two satellite offices in California, were directly involved with sending harassing letters to conservative organizations that sought tax-exempt status.
The IRS has acknowledged only the involvement of its Exempt Organizations office in Cincinnati, Ohio, which typically makes most decisions about granting or denying tax-exempt status to non-profit organizations.
And Wednesday afternoon, CNN cited a congressional source in reporting that the acting IRS Commissioner whom President Obama fired later in the day had identified two 'rogue' employees, both in Cincinnati, whom he thought were responsible for targeting right-wing organizations with tactics that were not applied to left-wing or non-political groups.

Steven Miller then the acting IRS Commissioner, described the two employees as being 'off the reservation,' according to the CNN source.
Miller, added CNN, had emphasized that the problem was not confined to just two staffers.
Tuesday's report from the IRS Office of Inspector General, however, focused exclusively on the Cincinnati office.
This IG's review, according to the report 'was performed at the EO [Exempt Organizations] function Headquarters office in Washington, D.C., and the Determinations Unit in Cincinnati, Ohio.'
The Washington staffers involved, the IG report continues, were in charge of reviewing materials prepared in Cincinnati.

Nothing in the report describes letters sent by IRS employees in California or the District of Columbia.

Under color of Authority
Repeat until civil rights suits ensue.
Worth sending to Drudge.
The Inspector General’s report has just been shown to be another cover up.
Once again British journalists doing the job American journalists won’t do.
Glad that a British paper is giving the news.
Next they’ll be claiming DC stands for District of Cincinnati.
Drudge has it up.
How ironic that the press in our former “Mother Country” provides coverage that shames the press in our country.
This scandal goes all the way up to the Oval Office.
Maybe we won’t have to rely on the presstitutes at ABCNBCCBSCNN to provide the drip drip of details scandals need to grow legs. Fleet St is on it.
Isn't it ironic that the A.P. is the focus of the press scandal?
Its fun watching the press eunuchs run in circles then stop & drool when the purple lipped prince speaks.
The IRS has become part of Organizing For America. We are so screwed.
It stands for “District of Corruption “.
Fox TV out of Cinncinati is quoting the “rogue employees” as stating that they were doing what they were told to do.......
Tomorrow ought to be a great day for both Nero and Baghdad Jay. ;)
I’ll make popcorn.
“Docs: IRS letters harassing groups...”
Jeezuz chrips. The fat-ass, 300-pound, gutless, 50 IQ IRS savages live in your neigborhoods.
Duh! Go harass them. If you don’t have the balls to dump a paper bag of flaming dog shit on their porches, you deserve every misery delivered on you by the metrosexual, purse-carrying IRS.
