The IRS Scandal, Day 915

Forbes:  Republicans Want IRS To Target Hillary Clinton, by Peter J. Reilly:

Given the outrage that Republicans have expressed about the “targetting” of the Tea Party by the IRS, you would think that they would be slow to advocate IRS political targetting.  Apparently  it is more a matter of who’s ox is being gored.

When the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) called for Ben Carson to step out of the Presidential race, he countered by demanding that the IRS immediately revoke its exemption.  Then this week Reince Priebus, Chair of the Republican National Committee, wrote to Commissioner Koskinen about a grave matter concerning the Clinton Health Access Initiative. ...

It has become an article of faith in some circles that the delays and intrusive inquiries involving Tea Party exemption application was politically motivated.  The main evidence of that motivation is Democratic lawmakers complaining about dark money organizations and Lois Lerner and President Obama bemoaning the Citizens United decision.  Everybody agrees that the IRS shouldn’t oughta have targetted the Tea Party, whether it did or not. So why should the IRS now target the Clintons? And launching an audit in response to a clerical error would clearly be political targetting.
