Issa Got Regular Updates On IRS Probe Over Past Year

[Lakhota]

WASHINGTON -- For all the outcry over who in the White House knew about an inspector general report detailing instances of the Internal Revenue Service targeting conservative groups, it turns out someone else was getting regular updates on the issue over the past year: Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.).

[Mr. H.]

So, the buck stops at Issa?

I think not.

In a little-noticed interview last week, Issa indicated that he knew "approximately" what the IG would report on the IRS' selective targeting of conservative groups, but said it wasn't appropriate to "accuse the IRS until you've had a nonpartisan, deep look."

until you've had a nonpartisan, deep look.

Issa - who's kidding who ???

Issa and the Republicans asked for the probe. Of course they knew about it.

The Oversight Committee knew about the audit because it requested it,” an Issa aide told ABC News. Issa released the letter, along with his own letter dated June 28, 2012 requesting the investigation, last week.

This is a great article from ABC. Doesn't sound like regular updates according to ABC.

The letter notes that it was Issa who had written him about “questionnaires that the IRS has issued which may exceed appropriate scrutiny and a potential lack of balance in the use of criteria for reviewing organizations that are applying for tax-exempt status.”

George offers no confusions but says, “our Office of Audit recently began work on this issue.”

According the Issa aide, the committee received an email update from George in December saying, “We are leaving no stone unturned as part of our due diligence. As such, we won’t be able to provide a detailed, substantive briefing until late April/early May.”

I pointed this out last week and the inmates here reacted by using their trusted ignore it and maybe it will go away strategy.

It kills the 'coverup' accusation, dead and buried, so of course the rightwing propaganda machine has to ignore it.
