For a year, the administration and IRS headquarters in Gomorrah by the Potomac have attempted to run an implausible con-job: The harassment of organizations opposed to Obama’s policies by an executive-branch agency had nothing to do with the Obama administration — it was just a rogue operation by an IRS office in Cincinnati which, though regrettably overzealous, was apolitical, non-ideological, and without “even a smidgen of corruption.” .......To Read More.....

committee will be necessary.
Just two weeks ago, the scandal involved the cover-up of
administration duplicity regarding the Benghazi massacre. (See my related article in the new edition of National Review.)
Now, it is the targeting of conservative groups by the Internal Revenue
Service.
