BREAKING: IRS Cover Up Worsens: IRS claims they targeted Progressive Groups also

And if you believe that I got a bridge to sell in Brooklyn! These news claims by Obama’s IRS comes after they investigated themselves.  So of course we should believe them. 

Right?

The Internal Revenue Service used terms such as “progressive” and evidence of advocacy on Israel to flag groups’ tax-exempt applications for extra attention, complicating what had been seen as targeted scrutiny for small-government groups reports Bloomberg. 

The IRS’s disclosure yesterday of 15 redacted versions of its Be On the Lookout document, or BOLO, bolstered its contention that delays experienced by Tea Party groups applying for nonprofit status were a symptom of mismanagement and not politically motivated action. 

“The BOLO list in my mind loses this sinister nature,” said Jeff Trinca, who was chief of staff to the IRS restructuring commission in the 1990s and is now a lobbyist at Van Scoyoc Associates in Washington. “And it becomes another way of creating criteria lists to try to deal with the huge volumes that come through the agency.” 

The disclosure raised a new set of questions about the IRS, which acknowledged last month that it had given extra attention to Tea Partygroups and other advocates for small government. The documents don’t explain how employees used the BOLO or which groups, if any, received extra scrutiny because of it.
