If the administration hopes to avoid a drawn-out investigation, it would do well to be more forthcoming.

Doyle McManus

May 22, 2013

 

Message to the president: Resistance is futile.

 

There are plenty of juicy targets for investigators in the IRS scrutiny of conservative organizations that applied for tax-exempt status, but the most dangerous for President Obama is this: Did bureaucrats in Cincinnati create this mess on their own? Or did someone in the White House give the marching orders to target the president's enemies?

 

The Treasury Department's inspector general asked that latter question of the IRS brass, and they said no but he didn't demand their emails and phone records.

 

So Congress is demanding them now. On Monday, Sens. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), the top members on the Senate Finance Committee, asked the IRS for all records of communications with "any and all White House employees including, but not limited to, the president."

 

Obama shouldn't merely allow the IRS to cooperate; he should order the IRS to cooperate fully and enthusiastically......(Snip)
