(Daily Caller) Capitol Hill aides spent their Memorial Day weekend scanning hundreds of pages of documents related to the IRS Scandal in order to prepare Members of Congress for what will be inevitably a month of investigations into government wrongdoing at the IRS involving at least 5 different offices including, Cincinnati Service Center; Baltimore, MD; Chicago; El Monte and Laguna Niguel, California which improperly targeted Conservative and Jewish organizations whose activities contradicted the Obama Administration’s public policies.
The IRS shenanigans chronicled in the damning report by the Treasury Dept’s Inspector General uncovered serious irregularities at the IRS including but not limited to contradictory statements made by Lois Lerner the IRS’s Director of Tax Exempt Organizations (now on paid administrative leave) which have emerged.
Former Clinton White House Counsel Lanny Davis speaking on national radio’s Andrea Tantaros Show last week said, if the IRS investigations show that the Obama Administration was involved or had prior knowledge of the growing IRS-Tea Party Scandal, which has robbed Democrats of the so called “trust edge” they held over Republicans, it could jeopardize the Democrat majority in the Senate in 2014 and even the hopes of Democrats like that of Hillary Clinton, should she run for President again in 2016

Audit This! Tea Party Groups to Protest the Corruption of the IRS Nationwide Tuesday, 21 May –Michelle MalkinAnonymous IRS Cincinnati Service Center Official: Everything Comes From The Top
Monday, May 20th, 2013
(Washington Examiner) A story in the Washington Post late last week about the Internal Revenue Service, Cincinnati Service Disservice Center, which is tapped to do most of the auditing of 501(c)(4) applications of not for profit groups and organizations, clearly contradicted earlier reports that the IRS targeting of Conservative, Jewish and religious groups was the result of rogue agents.
The Washington Post story quoted an anonymous staffer in Cincinnati who said they only operate by directives from headquarters.
On Friday, outgoing IRS Commissioner Steven Miller testified before the House Ways & Means Committee and claimed that targeting of Conservative groups is ‘absolutely not illegal.’
