Congress's investigation into the IRS targeting of conservatives has been continuing out of the Syria headlines, and it's turning up news. Emails unearthed by the House Ways and Means Committee between former Director of Exempt Organizations Lois Lerner and her staff raise doubts about IRS claims that the targeting wasn't politically motivated and that low-level employees in Cincinnati masterminded the operation.
In a February 2011 email, Ms. Lerner advised her staff—including then Exempt Organizations Technical Manager Michael Seto and then Rulings and Agreements director Holly Paz—that a Tea Party matter is "very dangerous," and is something "Counsel and [Lerner adviser] Judy Kindell need to be in on." Ms. Lerner adds, "Cincy should probably NOT have these cases."

Has the targeting of Conservative groups stopped? Does anybody know the answer?
Last I heard, it was ongoing. They have no fear of Congressional oversight, because they know the Dems will run interference for them out of sheer party loyalty.
And little fear of prosecution with Holder running the DOJ. This is what tyranny looks like.
Why would it stop when nothing is being done about the crimes this admin is committing. They are completely empowered by the cowered GOP.
This deserves the “No Sh** Sherlock” award. Purely thug government by nobama, the Clown Prince, Clown Car minions. Rule of law...we don’t need no steenkin’ laws.
Everyone knows this administration is corrupt to the core but are afraid to say so just like Ed (I don’t want to appear racist) Asner said.
She will be protected by those who have even more to lose
Why isn’t this woman in prison ?
no after a 2010 lien i am being auditted for 2012.
That liar should be in jail.
I’ll revise my own comments to add that the GOP could be among her staunchest supporters. What better way to suppress the Tea Party than to have the IRS squash it like a bug?
She should be in prison, but the closest she will get to a prison cell is when and if she tours a prison.
Because nobody has dragged her sorry ass into court?
The entire U.S. government is a criminal enterprise. Until WE do something WE will continue to be their slaves.
you have an excellent point.
The Tea Party only benefits the people, not most of those in power now.
Does the sun rise in the west? That is when the targeting of Conservative Groups will stop.
Yeah, I'm sure that'll work, that'll do it.......
Bohner plans to send a sternly worded letter stating that they will be some undefined consequences in the undefined distant future if it every happens again maybe.Just as long as if it doesn’t ruin the chance for bipartisanship,compromise,and agreement with commonsense proposals from the democrats.
Exactly true !
Continue to supress the conservative voice by :
continueing of the same process of delay,
hold no one person accountable ,
and claim that "Bush did it too ".
IRS DISCRIMINATION/BIAS IS CRIMINAL VOTER SUPPRESSION !
It will be promptly investigated by the Dept. of " JUST-US ", and apprehensions will occur at the conclusion of the investigation (How's that Fast and Furious investigation comming along ?)
It’s still going on. If they were to stop, it would be a tacit admission of wrongdoing. IOW, they have to continue it.
