CNS News - ACLJ: White House Account of IRS Abuses 'Does Not Square With the Facts'

“It’s apparent this White House continues to try and create a narrative that simply does not square with the facts,” said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice. The ACLJ is representing 27 tea party groups that were subjected to inappropriate scrutiny by the IRS.

“Without question the IRS misconduct of harassing and abusing our clients was still in high gear from May 2012 through May of this year.

To suggest this tactic ended a year ago is not only offensive, but it is simply inaccurate as well.”. . .
