NEW IRS CHIEF: ‘INAPPROPRIATE’ TARGETING WAS BROADER AND LASTED LONGER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT

The Internal Revenue Service’s screening of groups seeking tax-exempt status was broader and lasted longer than has been previously disclosed, the new head of the agency said Monday.

An internal IRS document obtained by The Associated Press said that besides “tea party,” lists used by screeners to pick groups for close examination also included the terms “Israel,” “Progressive” and “Occupy.” The document said an investigation into why specific terms were included was still underway.

In a conference call with reporters, Danny Werfel said that after becoming acting IRS chief last month, he discovered wide-ranging and improper terms on the lists and said screeners were still using them. He did not specify what terms were on the lists, but said he suspended the use of all such lists immediately.

  1. "Lasted longer than previously admitted" is more like it. This criminal administration has been caught and there is no excuse so they admit what they have to, then admit more as it becomes public knowledge.
