IRS agents testified before Congress that the agency’s
political targeting did not apply to progressive groups as Democrats and the media
have claimed, according to a bombshell new staff report prepared by the House
Oversight Committee chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa.
IRS agents testified before Oversight that ACORN groups were
scrutinized because the agency thought they were old organizations applying as
new ones. Emerge America was scrutinized for potential “improper private
benefit.” No evidence exists that the IRS requested additional information from
any Occupy Wall Street group.
“Only seven applications in the IRS backlog contained the
word ‘progressive,’ all of which were then approved by the IRS, while Tea Party
groups received unprecedented review and experienced years-long delays. While
some liberal-oriented groups were singled out for scrutiny, evidence shows it
was due to non-political reasons,” according to the Oversight staff report,
which was obtained by The Daily Caller.
