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

Wasn’t this obvious from what happened to True the Vote? They even had OSHA after them. Do low level guys/gals have the power to order other departments and agencies to do this stuff?

I doubt it.

I just told my wife earlier this evening that if Congress really wanted to know what happened, how it happened and by whose authority they would conduct a process audit starting with the lowest level employee involved. My conclusion: they really don’t want to know.

Takes a local reporter to find out the story, great summary of structure of IRS , no way DC didn't know

More REAL investigators are needed! Something I posted on another discussion about the IRS investigation

The conservatives and honest liberals are making a concerted effort to get to the facts; HOWEVER, I would suggest that they ask the right questions of the wrong people.

Considering how the anointed one operates I wonder who has oversight of the Czars and their networks? How can there ever be possible checks and balances over the informal nameless community organized styled mirror administration that President Obama seems to meet and consult with more frequently than the Senate confirmed or Presidentially appointed figureheads presently riding desks in Washington?

A Real investigator and or news reporter needs to get the names of these people so that they may be brought in for questioning as to their roles in this corrupt and criminal enterprise.

honest liberals

I'm throwing the oxymoronic flag on that.

ROTFLMAO!!!! I try to give a benefit of doubt that there is at least two of them.

Six employees working for different first line supervisors but tied out to a common second or third line supe just screams dedicated working group/task group to me ...

[tanknetter]

300 groups multiplied by at least 18 months for each group, means thousands of red flags would have been generated in the system

That would depend on how the roll up reporting in the system is constructed, wouldn't it?

Looking at the apparent org chart involved it looks like the work was distributed across five staff (excluding the "supervisor" - maybe a working group lead?) each working for a different manager AND "territory manager".

So simple and assumed (extrapolated from the org chart) math (5x5x5) points to five staff out of 125 being part of that organization.

Or, rather, 4% of the staff reporting to Cindy Thomas. Assuming there aren't even more layers of management between the "territory managers" and her.

That's as beautifully a "distributed" workload as I've ever seen. Almost by design (NO! It wouldn't be that!) it would serve to obscure what was really happening in the reporting.
