Conservative Republican At IRS Defends Tea Party Targeting
John Shafer, a self-described “conservative Republican,” says there was no political agenda and that he and a lower level worker first flagged a Tea Party group because of the high profile the Tea Party was getting. Shafer spoke to congressional investigators.
Asked if the lower-level agent sought to elevate the case to Washington because he disagreed with Tea Party politics, Shafer said that was not the case.
“We never, never discussed any political, personal aspirations whatsoever,” he said, according to a transcript of his testimony reviewed by Reuters on Tuesday.
