    It's interesting how all the people calling this IRS thing a scandal likely also support law enforcement profiling of particular groups of people in order to catch terrorists. I guess how you see it depends on what you're afraid of.

    New acting IRS commissioner Danny Werfel to appear before House committee after report says agency spent $50M on conferences, and interviews indicate employees were directed by Washington to target conservative groups.

    getting closer to the oval office ?


    Additionally, interviews with an IRS field agent involved in the division that targeted Tea Party groups for additional vetting appear to contradict the White House’s assertion that rogue agents -- not the administration -- were behind the effort, according to partial transcripts released Sunday by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
