TYT: Darrell Issa Report on the IRS Reveals Surprising Results



"House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) released a report Tuesday that faulted the IRS for improperly targeting conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status between 2010 and 2012, but found an absence of evidence linking the actions to the Obama administration — which it is not taking as evidence of absence.

The report, the culmination of a review of more than 1 million documents and 52 witness interviews, also faulted the agency and the White House for refusing to fully comply with the investigation.

Issa’s report highlighted eight people it said had knowledge of the improper scrutiny and failed to curtail it, including Lois Lerner, who locked horns with Issa throughout the entire inquiry. “Each of these leaders could have and should have done more to prevent the IRS’s targeting of conservative tax-exempt applicants,” the report read, per the Associated Press."

Nevertheless, he did his job and many people think Obama used the IRS to target enemies.

teaparty will be yanked and maybe 10% of liberal

I dont have the time right now but if you do the research you will find that almost all con groups would be disqualified if the IRS enforced the law properly instead of just investigating then doing nothing

Allow Issa to roll over him and continued to do the proper job, you have to give Issa credit, he gave it his best but Cummings and the truth overruled.

Term limits mean Isaa is no longer Chairman of House Oversight Committee. He has wasted enough of our money on sham partisan investigations.
