the question before the report came out and she claimed personel targeted conservative groups. Did she have some motive in doing so? The result of it, made these conservative groups look like victims, even though there was a need to scrutinize these groups for applying for tax exempt status, merely because the number had quadrupled. And it was the Press carried it from there. Apparently this heightened scrutiny began around the period of 2010. Many of these conservative groups were complaining to, enough for Issa to get involved. Allegedly, that was the reason for this IG report, which clearly reported back to Issa. My question, if the report was iniated by Issa, how independent was this report, if he was giving updates to Issa? Did Issa influence the findings in any way? I also would like to know if Lerner had any contact with Republicans or these groups? I'm not for a politcal appointed Special Counsel, such as a Ken Starr. I think the DOJ is perfectly capable of doing its job.
