GOP links IRS counsel’s office to targeting bias

The Hill:

House Republicans charged Wednesday that the Internal Revenue Service’s chief counsel’s office and an agency official at the center of the targeting controversy helped delay applications for tax-exempt status from Tea Party groups.

In a letter, four leading GOP lawmakers said that the office of the IRS’s top lawyer took unique interest in Tea Party cases, reviewing applications even after a veteran specialist said there was enough information to make a decision.

Lois Lerner, the IRS official who first apologized for the targeting of Tea Party groups, made the request to send tax-exemption applications to the chief counsel’s office, according to an agency official.
