    A veteran IRS worker testified on Thursday that officials from a Washington office led by a political appointee intervened in the screening of Tea Party applications, saying publicly for the first time the IRS chief counsel's office was involved in the controversial program.

    Carter Hull, a recently retired tax law specialist, gave his first-hand account during testimony before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

    Hull had earlier come under scrutiny after an employee in the Cincinnati IRS office told congressional investigators that he had been micro-managing her review of Tea Party groups' applications for tax-exempt status. But Hull revealed that he, too, was taking orders from up the chain of command.

    Hull specifically said he was told to forward documents to an adviser for embattled IRS official Lois Lerner -- who first revealed the targeting of Tea Party groups and has since refused to answer lawmakers' questions. But Hull said he was then told to send documents to the Office of Chief Counsel for their review -- which is led by political appointee William Wilkins.

    At an August 2011 meeting, Hull said, someone from the chief counsel's office said additional information was needed from Tea Party applicants that Hull was dealing with, and that a second letter should be sent out requesting more information.

    These letters have since been cited by Tea Party groups as part of a drawn-out process that in some cases left them without any resolution for years.

    There is our smoking gun. Now they need to pull this William Wilkins dirtbag in front of Congress and put him under oath. He is a huge Obama donor.

    This is tyranny.

    It was direct testimony to Congress. If you can only attack the source, then you have no argument.

    So she named Hull... and Hull is naming Obama's lead council appointee... Wilkins.

    Mmm. Baucus again...
    Highlighted NY Times article:
    The UNNAMED article is named 'The New GOP Money Stampede', originally titled 'How the Republican Establishment is Raising So Much Money'. The highlighted
    “$300 million … spending blitz” is actually:

    We now have a DIRECT link to 1 of only 2 Barack Obama political appointees to the IRS.

    This is an enormous scandal.

    Just going to post this...again, as it seems a lot harder to push off as each day brings new light on the subject.

    [video=youtube;J80nxsplKwE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J80nxsplKwE[/video]


    Again, if this was any other crime....and someone was on record joking about said crime long beforehand...they'd be an obvious suspect. Theres his mindset in video, but we're supposed to believe this ever growing chain of people is going to magically stop at his doorstep, and he knew nothing about it.

    No one with common sense will ever use Fox News as a source and expect to be taken seriously.

    No one with common sense will ever look at video of a congressional hearing and discredit it because of the site it is on and expect to be taken seriously.

    I provided 4 or 5 links.

    Address those.

    The Fox link was of the direct testimony. Do you expect anyone to take you seriously when all you do is troll and attack the source?

    Please add real content.

    I've always found the liberal mentality quite..... puzzling.

    The congressional hearing is nationally televised for whomever wants to watch it, but only Fox has chosen to show it. If MSNBC chose to show it, would the lib viewers believe they're watching the real thing? Bet they would b/c it was on MSNBC..... but then if they flipped the channel over to Fox and saw the same exact congressional hearing, same players...... well, I imagine the libs would become very confused.

    Oh well! As you said 'no common sense'........

    Fox is the ONLY news source that doesn't have their collective noses right up the president's behind!! That's why the rest of them are called "the STATE run media."

    Watching the State Run Media black this out reminds me of Soviet Russia... the leftists have taken over the bureaucracies, media, education... they followed the Marxist handbook.


    We have the IRS being used by Barack Obama appointees to attack political enemies and it cannot even make the nightly newscast. It's called tyranny.

    ha ha Isn't that funny? It's FOX, it's FOX.

    Fox is the fairest network of all. Liberals seem to be so afraid of the light (the truth).

    - - - Updated - - -

    If the national media reported everything that was really known, the American public would not only throw out Obama, they'd throw out the entire liberal wing of the Democratic Party. And good riddance.

    You tell us.

    No. Seriously now, everyone should watch Fox, and one other reputable source from the left- like one of the ones you mention. That way, they'd get some good right news and some good left news. Just not MSNBC. They are TOO slanted.

    The funny thing is, these liberal posters run in here and scream what a cheat Fox is, when all the posters are doing is getting that from their leftwing sources. And if liberals DO watch Fox, the watch it with such dark blinders, the Fox message is entirely distorted by their liberal blinders and again, they hate Fox with no real idea of what Fox is. It's hilarious.

    The Tea Party Movement is FRAUD committed against the United States of America by Fox News. They should be attacked at every opportunity.

    Political ideologies that do not fit the Liberal/Marxist mindset should be illegally attacked.

    That is what you are espousing... how very authoritarian of you.

    Oh...here we go with that rogue agent lie again. When this this scandal broke, there were a high number of liberals upset with this selective targeting from the IRS, then when their spin sites began spinning their bull(*)(*)(*)(*), liberals ate it up and regurgitated it out.

    I am truly amazed at Americans that are A-OK with this sort of tyranny, actually, they are (*)(*)(*)(*)ing stupid

    You cant be serious. The testimony was given to congress not to Fox news. Are you so feeble in your ability to form a rebuttal to the charges leveled that you are resorting to the "attack the source, even though its accurate" lame ass democ-rat tactic?
