Acting IRS Commissioner Resigns

Post by Flesh Thorn »

President Obama said Wednesday that acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller has resigned in the fallout of the agency scandal in which conservative groups were targeted.
The president made the announcement in a brief statement at the White House, following a meeting with Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and other top department officials in which they reviewed an inspector general’s report on the issue.
The White House scheduled the meeting a day after the release of the report, which found ineffective management at the IRS allowed agents to improperly target Tea Party groups for more than 18 months, starting in 2010.

My favorite : “Americans have a right to be angry about it, and I’m angry about it,” Obama said from the White House.

OK... the "acting" IRS chief... who has nothing to do with this at all... and was going to leave his position in JUNE has told he will resign. Then we learn he will resign in JUNE... the same time he was going to leave anyway.

Yep, they sure did put the screws to that guy!

So far, with the big three scandal (IRS, AP, Benghazi), the main thing we learned is that the president and Eric Holder didn't know what was going on, just found out today by watching CNN and doesn't know anyone who did it, but it is most likely a low level staffer.

There are two routes here. Both are lying through their teeth, or this is the most incompetent presidential administration since US Grant.
