(2,730 posts)Even the IG report whichever agency did it should be thoroughly examined and the methodology they used to make such a politically charged assertions. The best people to do are statisticians and research experts. What was the purpose of the IG's report and what was it focused on? Was it the purpose of the IG report to look for discriminatory practices of Tax exempt groups?
A study like that takes time because of certain rules needed to be followed. You cannot just assume discrimination if there were more conservative groups applying for Tax exempt status than Liberal groups. That is why you need to examine the methodology the IG or IRS used to make such a charge. That is why Miss Lerner's actions matter a lot if she was politically motivated herself. How normal is it for an IRS official to plant negative questions against her own office? How often does the IRS come out and issue an apology to certain groups versus defending their actions? Miss Lerner should be called to Congress and answer questions about this. I also think it is imperative, the lower level employees need to be heard too instead of officials sweeping this under the rug. We need to know the chain of command of these lower level employees. I'm hoping the DOJ does this rather than the Republican Congress. I think Miss Lerner should also be questioned by the DOJ if she had any political motivations and if someone put her up to this? And just like they are asking the investigators on Benghazi, I think the DOJ needs to examine the IG investigators and get a full understanding of their procedures and how they came to certain conclusions in their Report. I want to know what period in time they did this report and their methods.
