IRS chief: We deliberately hassled conservative groups during 2012 election

Lois Lerner, head of the IRS unit that oversees tax-exempt groups, apologized this morning for the actions of a group of IRS workers in Cincinnati.

She admitted that the staff, whom she described as “low level,” had enforced additional checks and time-consuming reviews on right-leaning and conservative groups to see whether they were violating their tax-exempt status.

And true to the name "conservative", none of these groups were in violation of the law. We cannot say the same for these public servants who might have abused their authority to pursue a private political agenda.
