The claim that the ongoing IRS scandal is limited to low level employees is falling apart.

It was just a Clintonian stalling tactic..

IRS has watchers watching watchers, but how does their correspondence control system work ~ I remember Shulin doing a guest appearance before a USPS group ages back telling us how great it would be ~ and that higher level managers could review AND CHANGE correspondence as it was prepared at the staff level.

So, did they do that? If so the staffers at Cincy may well be unaware of how much cr*p was distributed under their names.

They should lawyer up.

“and a woman identified only as Ms. Richards. “

Could this come from use of one of those ‘secondary’ Email accounts like the EPA uses to hide their criminal activity ?

Well, if you can link her to Colleen M. Kelley, you’ve got the chain of command complete from Obama.

What do we know about Cindy Thomas

Then one level down is Cindy Thomas, the highest ranking employee in Cincinnati in this Tax Exempt and Government Entities Department that no one in Congress is talking to... yet.

Low level government employees do what they are told by their bosses. Anyone with 1/2 of a brain knows that.

Falling apart?

Gee, couldn’t be because it was apack of lies from the start?

This directive came from the top. Remains to be seen if Issa et al can clean all the snakes out of the vipers pit...

Cindy Thomas is low-level. Take this up the 01/11 chain.

Press secretary Jay Carney explained earlier today, “We have adopted as a cardinal rule that these unfortunate incidents were caused by lower-level, rogue underlings. With frikken lasers on their heads.”

If you start to fry the “small fry” in congressional hearings and then in court (lawsuits, perjury charges, etc)., you might find out that a little group of fishes can sing like a mighty flock of Canaries.
