Here is a transcript of congressional
investigators' interview with John Shafer, a screening manager based in
Cincinnati, released by Rep. Elijah Cummings. Clearly, the release is an assist
from Cummings to the IRS, an effort to make sure that everyone being
investigated can be "on the same page" -- both literally and
figuratively.
About the transcript, Forbes' Richard Rubin notes:
What’s less clear is exactly why the
groups’ applications were delayed for so long, why the IRS couldn’t come up
with clear rules and why senior executives didn’t tell interested lawmakers
about concerns earlier.
That's all true, as far as it goes. But every
coordinated, innocuous "explanation" proffered by the IRS isn't
really going to answer Americans' questions until someone can explain how it
was that only conservative groups were subjected to extra
scrutiny and harassment.

transcripts that bears particular mention, email me at Carol(at)CarolLiebau.com
