IRS Officials Knew Conservative Groups Were Targeted

Well, isn't this interesting.

Among the other revelations, on Aug. 4, 2011, staffers in the IRS’ Rulings and Agreements office “held a meeting with chief counsel so that everyone would have the latest information on the issue.”

On Jan, 25, 2012, the criteria for flagging suspect groups was changed to, “political action type organizations involved in limiting/expanding Government, educating on the Constitution and Bill of Rights, social economic reform/movement,” the report says.

Hey, maybe the IRS is just defining "low-level" differently than you or I would:
Read the Hot Air link to see how serious these charges are. (Spoiler Alert: Nixon.)
