So, who was president in 2001 and in 2006? And she was a registered Republican.Your falsehoods are very amusing. Lerner was not hired by Bush. She had been working for the FEC, and transferred to the IRS in 2001, and was chosen, in 2006 by Steven Miller,
Commissioner of the IRS Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division, to run the EOD of the IRS. And she was definitely not a republican, ever.So, lifelong Republican Lois Lerner, hired by the first George Bush investigated tea party groups, a political movement, because she thought they might be engaging in partisan politics and, therefore, not entitled to the tax exemption for non-partisan groups. That is called doing her job.Obama did nothing of the sort.
Yes, you are willing to lie for Obama, I understand.
A big part of leftism is the complete lack of ethics and integrity that you display.

Lois G. Lerner, the woman at the center of the Internal Revenue Service scandal over special scrutiny of conservative groups, specifically targeted tea party applications and directed that they be held up in 2011 in order to come up with an agency policy, according to several of Ms. Lerner’s emails released by a House committee Thursday.
In one 2011 email, Ms. Lerner specifically calls the tea party applications for tax-exempt status problematic, which seems to counter Democrats’ arguments that tea party groups weren’t targeted.
“Tea Party Matter very dangerous,” Ms. Lerner wrote in the 2011 email, saying that those applications could end up being the “vehicle to go to court” to get more clarity on a 2010 Supreme Court ruling on campaign finance rules.

Emails show IRS Lois Lerner specifically targeted tea party - Washington Times
The IRS simply vetted tax exempt organizations to see if they were entitled to the exemption. Not a scintilla of evidence that there was any directive from the administration to the IRS.
False, the IRS targeted enemies of Obama in an effort (successful) to corrupt the political process in America and influence the election in 2012.
You favour corruption when it serves your party, because you have utterly not integrity and only care about party.
Doesn't matter, no one should use the IRS to push a personal political view like she did.
Career federal employees are allowed to have political views. The problem starts when they abuse their authority or otherwise act unethically because of those views which is what she did. She also did it when she worked at the FEC.
