NYT: Obama Administration Knew Of IRS Scandal 5 Months Before The Election

Friday, May 17, 2013

(Before It's News)

In no uncertain terms and with no hedging, The New York Times reports that the Obama administration was aware of the fact that the IRS was targeting Tea Party groups as far back as June of 2012. The Treasury Department’s Inspector General confirmed that he told senior Treasury officials in June of 2012, a full five months before Election Day:

 

The Treasury Department’s inspector general told senior Treasury officials in June 2012 he was investigating the Internal Revenue Service’s screening of politically active organizations seeking tax exemptions, disclosing for the first time on Friday that Obama administration officials were aware of the matter during the presidential campaign year.

 

We still don’t know for sure what the President knew or when he knew it, but this does confirm that the administration was aware of the fact that Obama’s political enemies were under fire by the IRS and covered that fact up during an election year.

 

Oooops.  Gotchya.  This is no joke and if nothing comes of this then there is truly a bias for this president no matter what he does because if this was Bush, there would be people in the streets over it.  -Mort
