http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/rep-issa-aware-of-irs-investigation-since-last-julyThe Treasury Department Inspector General for Tax Administration sent a letter to Congressman Darrell Issa and Congressman Jim Jordan on July 12, 2012 informing them they would be auditing the IRS in response to their concerns that certain groups might be receiving extra scrutiny. The letter came in response to a June 28th letter of that year from Congressman Issa.
The letter states that after meeting with the staff of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which Issa chairs, the IG Office of Audit began work on the issue. The IG offered in the letter to provide a status update to the staff of the committee throughout the investigation as well as provide copies of interim and final reports.
We would be happy to provide a status update to the Subcommittee staff and provide a copy of our interim and final reports on the matter when they are issued, the letter reads.
The Huffington Post also reported Saturday that an aide to Congressman Issa said he asked the IG for an investigation after hearing allegations of selective targeting of conservative groups.

they are packaging it all together so it all looks big. However, their sacandalmongering is as effective as a damp firework.

I'm not sure this clown has one.
I can't imagine anyone thinks as highly of him as he thinks of himself. Shudder!
