I think Pete Sessions tried to take out his frustrations on the IRS commissioner
I caught the tail end of C-SPAN's radio coverage of a hearing on the IRS.
Sessions asked if the IRS had found its audits disproportionately burdened people of color? The commissioner replied that it was an outside study that suggested that, and that IRS had modified its audit plans in response.
((IMO: I suspect that there had been a focus on the Earned Income Tax Credit, and additional issues such as whether or not two parents were both claiming head of household. Back when I was working in volunteer income tax clinics, there was always a big rush early on as people (mostly minorities) wanted their EITC money as soon as possible. Sometimes they brought kids in tow, some even to interpret. But some kept forgetting that everyone had to have a SSN (or ITIN) card/letter presented so the clinic could process them...))
