Can't or Won't? - FORMER IRS CHIEF: CAN'T SAY HOW TARGETING HAPPENED

It's nothing new, IRS has targeted anyone who believes the government should follow its own laws, especially the Constitution! That has been going on since FDR. It just gathers information for use, ruin and intimidation against the citizens whop believe in the Constitution. m/r

FORMER IRS CHIEF: CAN'T SAY HOW TARGETING HAPPENED  News from The Associated Press
AP still has no idea of what year it is May 21,  BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER AND ALAN FRAM 
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The man who led the Internal Revenue Service when it was giving extra scrutiny to tea party and other conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status told Congress on Tuesday that he knew little about what was happening while he was still commissioner.
Douglas Shulman, who vacated his position last November when his five-year term expired, told the Senate Finance Committee he didn't learn all the facts until he read last week's report by a Treasury inspector general confirming the targeting strategy.
In his first public remarks since the story broke, Shulman said: "I agree this is an issue that when someone spotted it, they should have brought it up the chain. And they didn't. I don't know why."
Shulman testified at Congress' second hearing on an episode that has largely consumed Washington since an IRS official acknowledged the targeting and apologized for it in remarks to a legal group on May 10. Shulman and the two officials who testified at Tuesday's three-and-a-half hour session - the outgoing acting commissioner, Steven Miller, and J. Russell George, the Treasury Department inspector general who issued the report - were all sworn in as witnesses, an unusual step for the Finance panel.
