Issa is ah gettin' closer folks...
Lois Lerner you'll recall pled the 5th, which now makes total sense. It didn't back when the Administration was pointing the finger at rogue agents in Cincinnati ( reminiscient of the video that caused Benghazi).
Anyway the IRS Chief Counsel's office referenced above is headed by one of two White House political appointees to the IRS.
This came out just yesterday...which may help explain the hasty, testy, and surprising President's remarks today regarding the Zimmerman trial and racism in America. Distraction is the one White House policy that seems to work. Perhaps because it's practiced regularly.
“As a part of this ongoing investigation, the committees have learned that the IRS Chief Counsel’s office in Washington, D.C., has been closely involved in some of the applications. Its involvement and demands for information about political activity during the 2010 election cycle appears to have caused systematic delays in the processing of tea party applications,” wrote Issa, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich.; Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio; and Ways and Means Subcommittee Chairman Charles Boustany, Jr., R-La., in a joint letter addressed to IRS director Daniel Werfel.
“based on his decades of experience, [career IRS official Carter Hull] determined he had enough facts to make recommendations whether to approve or deny the applications … However, Mr. Hull’s recommendations were not carried out. Instead, according to Michael Seto, the head of Mr. Hull’s unit in Washington, Lois Lerner instructed that the tea party applications go through a multi-layer review that included her senior adviser and the chief counsel’s office.”
