IRS Hearing Continues - More Pleading 'Da Fif'?

Following yesterday's 'Queerbait' comments and pleading 'Da Fif', we suspect more of the same to follow today as the House Ways and Means committee continues its investigation into the IRS targeting practices at 10amET

Some highlights from yesterday's shenanigans,
For the second time in as many months, a senior IRS manager on Wednesday invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination, fueling perceptions of an agency in crisis.

Greg Roseman, a Deputy IRS Director, spearheaded the awarding of the IRS's largest contract in history to a company owned by a close friend of his, an action that is prohibited under government contracting regulations.

As evidence of their close friendship, the committee published text messages between Roseman and Castillo. The two men apparently found kinship in using homophobic slurs. One exchange reads, "Paging Dr. Faggot." The response reads, "Queerbait. How come u haven't called back? Ain't got all day. Lol."
