Just to close out this issue of the IRS "scandal," after a long investigation (including the FBI) the U.S. Department of Justice has closed its case with no criminal charges. See this press report for example:
http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-irs-conservatives-20151023-story.html The investigation went over 100 interviews and over one million pages of documents. I'll quote from the Justice Department's statement: "Not a single IRS employee reported any allegation, concern or suspicion that the handling of tax-exempt applications – or any other IRS function – was motivated by political bias, discriminatory intent, or corruption." Moreover, DOJ notes that former IRS director Lois Lerner is completely absolved and, in fact, was the first IRS official to recognize the problem (such as it was) and try to correct it. As a "thank you" for her good civil service, a political party hounded her out of office. :-( Facts are facts, and I try to understand them as best I can.
