IRS official Lerner placed on leave
Washington (CNN) – The Internal Revenue Service official overseeing the unit that targeted conservative groups for several years beginning in the spring of 2010 has been placed on administrative leave, according to Congressional sources in both parties.
Lois Lerner was the director of exempt organizations when the agency filtered applications for tax exempt status for words such as "patriot" and "tea party."

I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. I am finally ready to stop this insanity. Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let’s try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well.

Wolf you might want to watch the Lawrence O'Donnell Show or do some research on your own, and you'd soon discover that under the Law as it was written, that none of these political groups really qualify for tax free status, under the forms the submitted. It is interesting to me that to you people over at CNN consider spring of 2010 to be several years ago, when most people would say a couple or three years ago , you throw out several years, after that come a few which could cover four to five years and then more accurately six and over would constitute the use of the word several. Do y'all need an editor over there, possibly researchers, because even I am being to wonder do we need someone to investigate your current editor for bias.
