As if this coverup weren’t enough.
The Muslim Brotherhood “must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” — “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America,” by Mohamed Akram, May 19, 1991.
This piece is very good because it revisits what was happening in Feb 2010 and the author makes a point about how the media started portraying the Tea Party as a threat, among other things.

Remember When Andrew Joseph Stack Flew a Plane Into a Texas IRS Building? That was February 18, 2010. A week later, the agency’s scrutiny of the Tea Party began. Here’s what happened leading up to the two events.

On the theory that media reports might have been involved (since the agency says media reports led to the end of the special scrutiny of Tea Party and other conservative groups in February 2012), I went back and read through some of the national newspaper coverage on the Tea Party groups in mid-to-late February of 2010.

There was a big David Barstow piece in the New York Times on Feb. 12, 2010, examining the political aspirations of Tea Party and other groups: “Tea Party Lights Fuse for Rebellion on Right.” Within the first five paragraphs, it mentions the Tea Party, the Sandpoint Tea Party Patriots, Friends for Liberty, Glenn Beck’s 9/12 Project, the John Birch Society, and Oath Keepers, described as “a new player in a resurgent militia movement.”

What else happened in February 2010? The first National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, Tenn., featuring a major speech by Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice-presidential nominee.

On February 23, 2010, Robert Wright, writing for the Times’ Opinionator blog, looked at “The First Tea Party Terrorist?” His column on the Andrew Joseph Stack incident is chilling in retrospect and in light of the IRS’s subsequent decision to begin sorting exemption applications for groups with “Tea Party, “Patriot” “9/12” and other conservative buzzwords in their names for referral to a specialist.
On February 18th, Stack had flown a small airplane into an IRS office in Austin, Texas, killing himself and IRS agent Vernon Hunter and injuring 13 on the ground. Stack left behind a six-page rant against the federal government and the IRS.
