Who's ready for another major shift in the IRS' official story? In recent days, Darrell Issa's Democratic counterpart on the House Oversight Committee, Elijah Cummings, has been telling anyone who will listen that Congress' IRS "witch hunt" is over and resolved. His absurd assertions -- from which he's edged away slightly -- smack of desperation, especially considering that new developments continue to arise. Why, here's one just now, and it's a biggie:
The Internal Revenue Service's screening of groups seeking tax-exempt status was broader and lasted longer than has been previously disclosed, the new head of the agency said Monday. In a conference call with reporters, Danny Werfel said that after becoming acting IRS chief last month, he discovered wide-ranging and improper terms on lists screeners were still using to choose groups for careful examinations. He did not specify what terms were on the lists, but said he suspended the use of all such lists immediately. "There was a wide-ranging set of categories and cases that spanned a broad spectrum" on the lists, Werfel said. He added that his aides found those lists contained "inappropriate criteria that was in use." Werfel's comments suggest the IRS may have been targeting groups other than tea party and other conservative organizations for tough examinations to see if they qualify. The agency has been under fire since last month for targeting those groups. His comments also indicate that the use of inappropriate terms on such lists lasted longer than has been revealed previously. A report last month by a Treasury Department inspector general said agency officials abolished targeting of conservative groups with those lists in May 2012.

IRS Sent $7,319,518 in Refunds to One Bank Account Used by 2,706....’ Aliens’.
this remarkable payout was spurred by two IRS employees who went to members of Congress “alleging that IRS management was requiring employees to assign Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN) even when the applications were fraudulent.”
The report was completed in June 2012 and released in August 2012. In an August press release that accompanied the report, TIGTA said the report “validated” the complaints of the IRS employees.

The reason that the IRS does not want to disclose the names/terms of the other groups targeted is because they include Jew, Jewish, Israel...which are traditional democrat constituents.
Seriously? Are Republicans so P-whipped that they can't call Cummings an imbecile? He can't even speak the American language.
Careful with any praise for this Obama Hack. He's probably going to tell us that this all started way back during the Bush Administration.
Bold statement. Do you have a source you can link to?

But, but, but they told us there was no intentional targeting of Conservatives........This Admin can NEVER find any wrongdoing or criminality they have done! We need to stop letting them investigate themselves!
Watch the House Ways and Means Committee hearing with the IRS later this week...
I see now the article mentions “Israel” as a key word.
So the story about a couple of rogue agents targeting tea party groups completely falls apart and is exposed as a broad conspiracy against opponents of the regime including anti Palestinian organizations as well as anti abortion groups (church organizations) and more...
The IRS is going to be even more tyrannical when Obamacare goes into effect this coming 1JAN2014.
The article above links to Bloomberg article which mentions “Israel” along with lib words.
