Cummings: Unnamed ‘conservative Republican’ behind IRS abuse

Daily Caller ^ | 6/11/13 | Patrick Howley

Rep. Elijah Cummings has yet to reveal the name of the “conservative Republican” IRS agent he claims started the agency’s improper targeting of conservative groups, despite evidence that the targeting was overseen by a registered Democrat working out of Washington, D.C.

Cummings, a Democrat from Maryland and the top Democrat on the House oversight committee, claimed this week that an unnamed Republican manager in the IRS’s Cincinnati office started the agency’s targeting of conservative groups, and that “the case is solved” with no evidence of White House wrongdoing.

Cummings claimed in a letter to Republican Oversight Committee chairman Darrell Issa, dated June 9, that his staff had interviewed a “conservative Republican” manager from the IRS’ Cincinnati office who took the blame for the improper targeting.

Wasn’t this the big fat liar who falsely claimed racist Tea Party protestors spit on him?

I can see a conversation between Cummings and Hank Johnson:

C - "Did I tell the name of that conservative Republican who worked at the IRS?"

J- "No! But if we send him to Guam, will it tip over?"

...with no evidence of White House wrongdoing...right - except that Lois Lerner signed many of the letters to the targeted conservative groups, except that confidential IRS information on several taxpayers was leaked to leftwing interest groups to be used in campaign and fundraising activities, except that several of those targeted by the IRS were also hit for the first time ever with harassing reviews and inspections from such government agencies as OSHA, EPA, and DOJ after their application for tax-exempt status - hardly the works of some low-level "conservative Republican"......

Listen Rep. Come-along: I do not care if George Washington authorised this govt abuse -- this is TYRANNY and should be dealt with as such.

Amen! Heads need to roll!
