Will Congress Mark IRS Targeting Anniversary With Contempt Vote?
On May 10, 2013, former top IRS official Lois Lerner appeared before a gathering of the American Bar Association. Responding to a question that she had planted in the audience, Lerner apologized for what she acknowledged was “inappropriate” targeting of conservative political groups during the 2012 election.
Lerner said the practice was initiated by low-level rogue employees in Cincinnati and was not motivated by political bias.
Fast forward to today – on the eve of the one-year anniversary of that bombshell. Lois Lerner faces a vote in the full House of Representatives – a vote to hold her in contempt of Congress.
What a difference a year makes. . . .
