The IRS targeting controversy: A timeline

As scrutiny of the Internal Revenue Service intensifies following the revelation of its disproportionate evaluation of conservative groups' applications for 501(c)4 tax-exempt status, IRS officials and the Obama administration find themselves the target of increasingly intense questioning and criticism.

The IRS began targeting conservative groups three years ago, according to a timeline obtained by CBS News; more details are expected when the acting commissioner of the IRS is grilled at a congressional hearing on Friday.

Here's a timeline of the IRS's targeting, who knew what and reaction to the IRS's actions:

According to your timeline, it was Douglas - sm

Schulman, a BUSH appointee, who was doing this.

Miller must just have assumed it's business as usual, only flipped for the Democrats.

EVERY single person involved in this needs to be fired and charged criminally. By your standards, you'd approve if it was a Dem appointee? Your post is exactly why people pull this BS. NO MATTER WHAT PARTY AFFILIATION IT IS AGAINST THE LAW - PERIOD! What part do not get about that statement?

I agree it's against the law, regardless of WHO - sm

did it, but why do you give Bush a pass?

I will always blame Obama for NOT getting rid of ALL Bush appointees. That's the only way to have an honest government.

This is a witch hunt for Obama. That practice in the IRS should stop immediately, but you're trying to blame it ALL on Obama.

What I don't get is WHY the republicans are - sm

blaming ALL of this on Obama!

What I don't get is why AREN'T the republicans actually WORKING for the people, instead of continuing this witch hunt? I hope they ALL get voted out.

It has some interesting facts.

Yeah, I'm sure Miller had no idea that what was going on - was wrong.

That's a good story for him to go with, though - everyone else seems to be using the "I don't know" defense. Sorry, but ignorance is no excuse, either for Miller or Schulman or anyone else, for that matter.

But it's only being brought up by a hateful - sm

republican house. Everyone else got a pass, especially Bush, who was probably less truthful than Nixon, since he lied his way into a couple WARS!

Republicans simply have no credibility. They're not even trying to hide what they are doing. At least they're transparent in THAT!

When are they going to stop their witch hunt on Obama and improve JOBS??? If you've been paying attention, Obama has substantially LOWERED the deficit.

Oh please not that again. Sorry, that is not going to fly anymore - sm

Sorry the oh boo hoo you are so "hateful". This sounds exactly like the person on the other side of a computer game my son was playing the other day. The kid was cheating and my son reported him and his response was you're a hater.

What happened is wrong and against the law. There are plenty of democrats who are standing for what is right too. It's not just republicans.

How many more times do we have to explain to you. Bush did not lie to get into wars. Bush was given information. That information went to congress and congress approved the war. NOT Bush. And guess what. There were plenty of outraged republicans. You just don't want to believe it.

Republicans AND some democrats are trying to get to the bottom of this. There should be an investigation by an independent group. No group should be investigating themselves.

If you've been paying attention under Obama the debt has SKYROCKETED since he has taken over. 44.5% and that figure was about a year ago (give or take) - see link below. People need to pay attention and stop making things up because its what they want to believe.

All I know is laws have been broken and the people responsible need to be held responsible. People should not be allowed to break laws and get away with it because they belong to the democrat party. They should be held to the same level of responsibility that the republicans are held.

I'm not even going to reply to the witchhunt statement, it is not deserving of any reply because it's just made up without any facts to back it up.

How about we read something from this MONTH?

As far as the witch hunt, I don't have to READ that anywhere. All I have to do is watch the republicans in Congress and their actions, and I can see very clearly what's going on.

There was another one in my local newspaper, but it wasn't online when I looked it up, which is strange because it was today's paper. http://docs.house.gov/energycommerce/TIMELINE.pdf ...

I was looking around this morning for something to post on the anniversary of 9/11, to honor those who died and were injured, and the loved ones they left behind. I didn't exactly find what I was looking for, but this timeline is very interesting, so I thought I'd share this. I hope everyone finds a little peace in themselves today where they can, and I hope we can be a little nicer to each other today. Of course, not perfectly nice--but a little nicer. ;) I love our beautiful ...

As IRS efforts targeting politically-conservative groups gained momentum, George Soros-funded liberal groups repeatedly called on the IRS to investigate conservative nonprofit organizations. While the first reported instances of extra IRS scrutiny for conservative groups began in Cincinnati in March of 2010, the attacks began to pick up steam on a national level soon after Soros-funded groups began firing off letters to the IRS in October of that year - following the Supreme Court's Citize ...

Illegal gun owners are probably laughing their heads off: Missouri Democrats introduced an anti-gun bill which would turn law-abiding firearm owners into criminals. They will have 90 days to turn in their guns if the legislation is passed. Here’s part of the Democratic proposal in Missouri: 4. Any person who, prior to the effective date of this law, was ***LEGALLY*** in possession of an assault weapon or large capacity magazine shall have ninety days from such effective date to do a ...

July 2. Egyptian Coptic Christian and naturalized US citizen Nakoula (AKA Sam Bacile), uploaded English version of “Innocence of Muslims” to You Tube.

this is incredibly spiteful. At virtually the last possible moment, the Obama administration on Monday rolled out new regulations making it even more difficult and more costly to mine coal in the U.S., a final shot against the already beleaguered coal industry as the president leaves office. The Interior Department’s Stream Protection Rule will go into effect 30 after its official release and publication in the federal register, meaning it likely will be implemented Jan. 19 — one day ...

Sadly, the 18 month investigation into the IRS targeting of conservative groups isn’t over, and it may be worse than anyone thought. A federal judge has broken loose more emails that the DOJ had surely hoped would never surface. The picture it reveals isn’t pretty. The documents prove that Lois Lerner met with DOJ’s Election Crimes Division a month before the 2010 elections. It has to be embarrassing to the DOJ, which may not be the most impartial one to be investigating the IRS. In fac ...
