Judicial Watch released nearly 300 pages of FBI documents that reveal top IRS officials knew of the targeting of conservative groups two years before disclosing it to Congress.
Top IRS officials Lois Lerner and Holly Paz "knew that agents were targeting conservative groups for special scrutiny as early as 2011," Judicial Watch reported.
Judicial Watch was able to obtain the new treasure trove of documents through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
According to the docs obtained by Judicial Watch, Paz, a senior member of the IRS, was informed in the spring of 2011 that agents in Cincinnati had put out "Be On the Look Out" guides to flag "cases using the tea party term."
According to the docs, IRS senior official Nancy Marks, who was appointed to conduct an internal investigation said, "Cincinnati was categorizing cases based on name and ideology, not just activity," Judicial Watch reported.

lock them ALL up and throw away the key.
And democrats wonder why people fight the no fly/no gun list. Anyone the government has an axe to grind could be put on the list for no reason at all. So it's a way to abuse without overt public actions. No thanks. The democrats can take their control bill and hysterics and stick it where the 🌞 don't shine.
Two Sets of Laws.
You and I go to prison. They run for President or get to retire at $65,000 a year.
Keep cheering.
This is not news. Any one with half a brain figured it out along time ago.
And of course these are just the ones not lost due to various computer problems once the story started to leak.
