“Sir, you misled Congress — make no question about it,” Democratic congressman Stephen Lynch shouted at former IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman for not informing Congress that he had learned of the agency’s targeting of conservative organizations.
“After telling Congress that absolutely no one is being targeted, you learned that there’s a list,” Lynch said at today’s House Oversight Committee hearing. “And what did you do after that point? You did nothing — you did nothing to straighten out the impression that you had left by your testimony before Congress.”
“When you learned that our suspicions were true, when you learned that there was a list, you did nothing,” the Massachusetts congressman said.
