Top IRS officials in Washington, D.C. planned and oversaw the agency’s improper targeting of conservative groups, according to the 72-year old retiring IRS lawyer who will testify Thursday before the House Oversight Committee.

Retiring IRS lawyer Carter C. Hull implicated the IRS Chief Counsel’s office, headed by Obama appointee William J. Wilkins, and Lois Lerner, the embattled head of the IRS’ exempt organizations office, in the IRS targeting scandal and made clear that the targeting started in Washington, according to leaked interviews that Hull granted to the Oversight Committee in advance of Thursday’s hearing.

Treasury Inspector General J. Russell George will return to Republican chairman Darrell Issa’s committee Thursday along with two central characters in the IRS saga: Hull and Cincinnati-based IRS employee Elizabeth Hofacre, who previously gave Hull’s name to congressional investigators, fingering him as her Washington-based supervisor.

Until I see someone in jail I will continue to believe the GOP will let this get swept under the rug like every thing else. For crying out load no one is in jail for fast and furious yet and people died. A lot of people died.

So much for rouge employees in the Cincinnati office.

Of course the instructions to break the law came from Obama the queen b*tch Valerie Jarrett.

“Will this get BO and the Mooch impeached??”

Impeached by the House? Possibly.

Convicted by the Senate with Hasshole Reid in charge? Zero chance.

Probably was the intern.

Interns seem to cause a lot of damage and release things when they shouldn’t.

We have as much chance of getthing those two grifters impeached as we have of seeing the real Santa Clause.
