I was thrilled with the tone and line of questioning from these representatives and look forward to more IRS inquiry. I listened to most of it live on C Span radio while live Tweeting and Retweeting on the #IRS Hashtag.
Excuses today on #Benghazi & #IRS from respective responsible parties: We’re inept, bad at our jobs. Major indictment of big government.
#IRS: Well after those hearings I would say we are truly in a Constitutional crisis. Someone tell the media.
#IRS: Rep Renacci – “There were dozens of approvals after the election. Why was there such a large group approved _after_ the election?”
“This investigation has just begun.” ::Gavel:: #IRS
The #IRS official Obama claimed was “Fired” for targeting Conservatives is really retiring with full benefits and pay.. #Accountability?
“My goodness, how much money do you have in your wallet” Congressman Kelly, STANDING OVATION! #IRS #HWMC happening live now on C-Span.#tcot
Acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller is the prime example how government attracts losers as employees. #IRS #IRSHearing #IRSscandal
#IRS gets bonuses and promotions!The head of the #IRS says they gave horrendous customer service!
Man, these IRS guys speak and act as if they got a whole bunch of prewritten presidential pardons hidden away somewhere.
Rep. Kelly is going off. “Where you’re sitting? You should be outraged. But you’re not.” #IRS
“Is there any limit to the scope as to where you folks can go? … It’s sure as hell intimidating.” – Rep Kelly #IRS
Rep. Kelly is applauded after that epic rant. That should end up on Youtube. #IRS
Give me an example of one left-leaning 501 organization that triggered a special IRS “questionnaire.” One.
Mrs Black to #IRS Miller “Where’s the word progressive?” #crickets #IRSscandal #tcot #TeaParty
Diane Black nails it: Can’t be bad management if one side is targeted. Bad management implies procedure problems. Not the case here. #IRS
New #IRS approved excuse – “Unfortunately, I don’t keep a day planner.” Remember THAT on April 15th. #badatcalendarsandmath
Bio Feedback, recording of all prayers @WhitneyNeal: #IRS needs: day planners, calculators, note pads, file folders, memories, dictionaries
I wonder if prog #Jews see the implications of this? MT @CFHeather: #IRS asked about “content of prayers” of one #ProLife group #IRSHearing
Rep. Reed to #IRS Steven Miller: “You were not fired from your job…In my private experience, you would have been fired on the spot.”@WCPO
Apparently, the names of higher-ups in the #IRS are: “Um”, “I Don’t Know,” “I’m Not Sure,” and “I’ll Have To Send Them To You.”
Ah, arrogance. Exactly what you want in the guy running the #IRS. Every fear we citizens have re: #IRS are being proven justified.
I think Rep. Reed used his time well. He asked for names of people. #IRS #IRSHearing
Dems are literally out to lunch! But they really really really care about this #irs outrage.
Is anyone keeping track of the number of times Miller says “I don’t know”? #IRS How much was his government salary again?
Why yes, considering what the #IRS did it does make it harder to trust the gov’t for background checks: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/348619/scarborough-highlights-gun-control-risks-following-irs-scandal-andrew-johnson …
Sooooo, the #IRS criminal being questioned by the House AND a sitting U.S. Congressman just said that taxes are “voluntary”. @theblaze
#IRS @JennyHatch #irshearing Rep Marchant lists outrageous requests, emails, resumes, Tweets, fliers, etc
Alinsky tactics? You can scream profanity at me all day long & change the subject but it doesn’t negate the Obama #IRS scandal. @Catballou
On top of Tea Party groups and Jewish groups, the IRS went after Conservative Hispanic groups #tcot #IRS #Scandal
I knew #IRS employees to be lazy and incompetent but I was surprised at the huge douchebagness of Steve Miller #ReplaceThemWithAFlatTAx
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. —Thomas Jefferson #IRS
@Martha_Harbin Threat of losing ones job, benefits, bonus, and pension could lead to better “customer service” at the #IRS #AbolishTheIRS
This may be ironic w/ all the controversy, but #IRS call center people have become so much more pleasant to work with than in past years.
Miller says “was bad management” that lead to #IRS targeting. However, still saw fit to promote Sarah Hall Ingram to oversee Obamacare
@SamValley How far are we away from those who pray being thrown into a den of Lions?
@SamValley I literally started to shake when he said that…
#IRS saying it’s inappropriate but not illegal is BS. IRS used inappropriate questions/requests to intimidate & delay 501c4 #tcot
First they had to hide the #Benghazi survivors, now they’ll have to hide a bunch of “low-level” #IRS staffers. WH travel office very busy…
Bad customer service? Bad customer service is when jiffy lube gets dirt on your seat. let’s not trivialize the targeting of taxpayers #IRS
The same folks that freaked out on nothing burger Valerie Plame is saying not to get all hot and bothered over what the #IRS was doing…
Dems seem upset that the reputation of their favorite agency is taking a political hit. Worried about bad PR. #IRS #freaks
The content of one’s prayers? Good God. #IRS
#Obama #IRS Refused Tax Exempt Status to Christian and Pro-Israel Groups But Granted Nonprofit Status to Muslim Orgs http://shar.es/Zvnvf
Miller, who said earlier that the IRS’ conduct wasn’t illegal, now says he’s not sure. Great Q’s by Schock. #IRS
Schock: Pro life group if asked if they do education in both sides of issue. Is that appropriate. Miller won’t answer.
Schock: Is it appropriate to ask content of prayers. Miller doesn’t condemn. Says it would surprise him.
@hughhewitt I know…. “What did you Pray about?” Feeling sick…
The questions from @RepAdamSchock are stunning. Can’t believe that happened.
RT @ByronYork: IRS digs in: No targeting, no bias, focus on conservative groups just employees seeking greater ‘efficiency.’
#irshearing #cspan they orally counseled and reassigned positions for criminal actions from our Internal Revenue Service. That’s it?
#IRShearing the IRS has engaged in PROFILING how disgusting. The era of Jim Crow lives #tcot
#IRShearing today it’s Tea Party & Christians, tomorrow under a Republican it’s YOU. WE THE PEOPLE demand better. You should too.
#irshearing Commissioner: “We don’t have enough people” so that’s why we ask more questions. #tcot
@Garrett_R_Hall And really, why should we stop with Tea Party groups? Let’s just harass anyone whoever had a negative thought about Obama…
#IRShearing: Miller: We need more staff…so we can more effectively target Tea Party groups on a larger scale. #tcot
@GOP A special prosecutor MUST be put on this IRS activity. #IRSHearing is a bunch of crap, w/Dems making excuses, not wanting answers
Donors are only relevant when they contribute to Conservative causes, eh Miller? #irshearing #IRS
“We’d like to apologize” and “We’ll have to get back to you on that” are now acceptable responses to IRS questions. Good to know #IRSHearing
“No one person can do this; that cuts down on the bias.” -Miller #IRShearing
#IRShearing George and Miller on Political Activity @JennyHatch Rep Smith: Doner Lists? “27 Doner lists requested”
Now is the time to prove your integrity @ACLU – will you stand with the #TEAParty? #IRS #IRShearing #tcot #TGDN #sarahhallingrammustgo
It is definitely clear at this point that the #IRS is as corrupt as the White House. #IRSHearing #tcot #teaparty #GOP #p2 #ccot #tlot
A lesson to us all. Low funding means just conservative applications will be assaulted. Now I get it. #IRShearing #tcot
Listening to #IRSHearing . I think it’s sad that I can tell what political party each questioner is by the type of questions they make.
And Miller now informs us of his expert opinion that the #IRS targeting groups of Americans is not illegal. #IRSHearing
According to Harry Reid, taxes are voluntary? So that means I get to keep my money next year instead of paying in like this yr? #IRShearing
So concerning the #IRSHearing has revealed that the culture of the IRS is such that targeting groups of Americans isn’t seen as illegal.
Biggest takeaway from #IRSHearing: “I’ll have to get back with you” apparently an acceptable response to #IRS. Remember that on April 15th.
#irs Miller says it wasn’t illegal to target conservatives. Really? Its not illegal to violate citizens first amendment rights? #irshearing
In a serious society, #IRSHearing would be on prime time TV with American Idol ratings. Without knowing what Govt does, voting is pointless.
Rep Blumenauer at #IRShearing doing what Dems did at #Benghazi hearing: blaming inadequate #IRS budget i.e. it’s Republicans’ fault. #tcot
Why do I have this feeling that a rapid case of amnesia is going to set in during this hearing today? This should be good. #IRShearing
#irshearing RT @freddoso: Acting IRS Commish now being questioned by a guy who probably DID need an audit. #charlierangel
Paul Ryan: “How can we not conclude that you did not mislead this committee?” #IRShearing
Miller repeats that he wouldn’t characterize IRS behavior as “targeting” even though IG report says they did #irshearing
RT @DavidMDrucker Rep McDermott: Most groups requesting tax exempt status were from “far right groups” So, #IRS took a short cut #IRShearing
Listening to #IRS Congressional Hearing closing remarks “None of this would have happened if we had just had more money, resources” Right.
#IRS Chief says they have too much work wants to get more agents. I have a better suggestion: fire them all. #Repeal1913 #IRSHearing
#IRS Official in Charge During Tea Party Targeting Now Runs Health Care Office http://abcn.ws/107NMqc #Tcot #Tlot
This #IRS Steve Miller guy is an effing stooge. Is being an incompetent moron a prerequisite for being a career federal bureaucrat?
#IRS and Miller embody everything that’s wrong with big govt: incompetent people with too much power. #obamacare will be a f’ing disaster
In what courtroom is “I don’t believe so” a sufficient answer? #IRS #WaysandMeans
RT if you are watching the #IRS hearing on @cspan http://myop.us/Z17MMN #tcot #marriage #no4m
Steven Miller “Can I rephrase your question?” WTF? No. That’s not how a congressional hearing works. #IRS
Schumer, Franken urged #IRS to target tea party in 2012 | The Daily Caller http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/17/flashback-schumer-franken-urged-irs-to-target-tea-party-in-2012/ … via @dailycaller Time for Investigation of
No, waiting 30 minutes for a burger at Applebees is a “customer service” issue. Targeting political enemies is a CRIME. #IRS
#IRS: Soooooooooooooooo, Ingram is innocent, and superb, and perfectly qualified.
My Twitter has blown up with the #IRS hearing. I never knew a congressional hearing could be so fascinating!
WATCH: “We’re not safe until we restrict the power of government” http://ow.ly/l8rVa #IRS #Scandal @gretawire
IRS Miller “not aware religious groups targeted…” I guess he didn’t read the newspapers. #IRS
The idea that low-level #IRS bureaucrats decided themselves to target the #TeaParty, is like believing #Benghazi was in reaction to a video.
#IRS #Obama is up to his eyeballs in this thing. All it takes is one of his soldiers to turn on him and tell the truth and it’s over #tcot
Miller as head of #IRS, a lot like Obama and Holder in they know NOTHING about ANYTHING they are supposedly leading/running. What!? #tcot
It’s time to abolish the #IRS now more than ever! pic.twitter.com/ERBqfm75rK
Of course #IRS officials deny political targeting. Bunk.Lies.Question is really who at agency called the political shots,and why. #tcot
Steve Miller “unaware” that religious groups were also targeted. #IRS
So a couple of low-level #IRS bureaucrats came up with HUGE questionnaire asking about books read. Media…?
Michelle Malkin on #IRS Scandal: Wasn’t Just #Teaparty, 912, Constitutional groups but religious & others http://youtu.be/63M-9xhyWb0 #PJNET
Apparently the #IRS Commissioner doesn’t know anything about anything. Why was he even employed there? #fb
Steven Miller answers perfectly crafted questions just like eric holder does. #IRS scandal is being stonewalled by prepped #obozo witnesses.
Hey everybody, the scandals are all falling apart. Nothing to see here! Say, did you hear what Angelina Jolie did?
“I have no knowledge of that.” -Miller when asked by Rep Gerlach(R-PA) if taxpayer info shared w/ individuals outside the IRS. #IRShearing
Reichert drilling back on Miller’s previous testimony. Didn’t this committee have a right to know that groups were being treated differently
Miller providing “a no answer once again” says Reichert. Key point. Does this Committee have a right to know what you knew
Reichert:”This is the Congress…do you not believe it is your job to provide us with the I to you knew..you raised your right hand today.”
Who was responsible: “I don’t have that name” says Miller. Who did you ask? Nancy Marks.
Here’s the fired IRS head’s official excuse for the targeting of conservatives: Just trying to be ‘efficient’ http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/05/17/fired-irs-head-testifies-that-irs-targeting-of-conservatives-involved-foolish-mistakes-in-attempt-to-simply-be-more-efficient/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=story&utm_campaign=Share%20Buttons …
Hmmm..I always thought I would go to prison if I didn’t pay my taxes? According to Congressman Becerra it’s voluntary!! #IRSGate
Reichert flayed Miller. Key exchange. Miller showing there are no excuses.
@hughhewitt Cop knows how to ask questions
Unreal: Acting IRS chief whines that ‘targeting’ is a ‘pejorative term’ for agency’s harassment of conservatives http://bit.ly/10VCuH8
