FOX19 has exclusively learned that as many as four people may be the first Cincinnati Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees to face disciplinary action, and possibly even criminal charges, for allegedly targeting Tea Party and Liberty groups applying for non-profit status.

On Wednesday, the IRS announced that it has pin-pointed two employees at the agency's Cincinnati office for being 'primarily' responsible.

On the surface, this appears to be good news.

What I am fearful of, however, is that a few low-level employees will be scapegoated, in order to protect those higher up the food chain who may have orchestrated this horrible misbehavior.

We’re letting the ‘fox count the chickens’ now? Time for Congress to determine who the bad guys are, not the bad guys making those determinations.

"Prior to his resignation, Steven Miller called the two Cincinnati employees 'rogue' and 'off the reservation', adding that they were 'overly aggressive' in handling the requests from those conservative groups over the past two years."

I wonder what kind of rewards they were promised or expected for their endeavors?

We need to make some examples out of these petty tyrants. “Kill a chicken to scare the monkey”, as the Chinese say. Let’s make a ruckus until these fascist scum are stripped of their pensions and sent to prison. Remember Alinsky: individuals hurt more than institutions. Lets really put the hurt on this filth.

Remember how the TV told us that anyone that thought this was happening last year was just “CWAZY!, “NUTS!”, “A Fox-News Zombie!”, “Crazy Freeper!”, quite possibly a racist, or something similarly insulting?

these four IRS workers claim "they simply did what their bosses ordered".

There goes your "Rogue Employees" story, 0bambi!

Set up Scapegoats. Let them testify like Hicks, Thompson and Nordstrom.

Lois Lerner is the GUILTY LIAR.

IRS Letters Harassing Conservative Groups Came From Washington, DC Headquarters And California Offices, Despite IRS’ Claims It Was “Rogue” Cincinnati Employees… ~snip~ 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.

...it's important to institute new leadership that can help restore confidence going forward," said President Obama in a statement on Wednesday evening.

At least he got this statement right.

So we are to believe that all of these conservative group applications were handled by a couple of people. Somehow these just ended up on their desks. Sorry, not buying it!
