The IRS official who led the tax-exempt organizations unit when Tea Party groups were targeted is now in charge of the IRS office responsible for ObamaCare, two Capitol Hill sources tell Fox News.
The acknowledgement fueled criticism of the agency and led one prominent Republican senator to call for the IRS to be blocked from implementing the health care law.
In a statement from Texas Sen. John Cornyn touting his plan to block the IRS from receiving money to implement part of the health care law, he said "now more than ever, we need to prevent the IRS from having any role in Americans’ health care."
Sarah Hall Ingram had been serving as commissioner of the office responsible for tax exempt organizations from 2009 to 2012, and has since left to serve as director of the IRS' Affordable Care Act division. While still the commissioner of the Tax-Exempt and Government Entities Division, she was assigned to head the implementation of ObamaCare at the IRS in 2010 after the law was enacted. It is not clear when she stopped being the head of the tax-exempt office or how active her role was there while she was implementing ObamaCare.
But the official who succeeded her, Joseph Grant, is now leaving the agency in the wake of the scandal. His retirement was announced Thursday, even though he only took the job May 8.
"Stunning, just stunning," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday following the news that the IRS official who oversaw the scandal-plagued office that targeted conservatives, is now leading the IRS’ ObamaCare office.

That is not an attractive woman! Assuming that is a woman. If she had anything to do with this and now she’s going to implement Obamacare, we have got to clean house and soon!
Ah ,the creator of the 21-page application for ObamaCare I bet
Thanks for the ping ...
Hope the Senate will see fit to get her off of the payroll.
Don’t worry, you can trust Emperor Obama.
Obama brings in no one new ,he just moves the same scum around
They’re rubbing our noses in it with the attitude of: “What are you gonna do about it, peons?”
unbelievable, that they wouldn’t have found almost any other job for this person (if the idea was to keep same on the public payroll) ... in any of 5,000 different agencies which are far, far less politically sensitive right now... this was very careless politically of them, indeed.. very careless!
Makes one wonder whether they still have their ChicagoStyle Act together, or whether its all unraveling for some reason or other?
Getting people who will cover for him and shares the same idealogu
We are truly living in the depths of Alice in Wonderland!
Egregious treachery.
Ever since Capo Rahm left, the WH has been run by amateurs.
Thx Jim...you lift our spirits so.
And old friend,
