Representative Paul Ryan described the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups as another example of the federal government’s ”arrogance of power, abuse of power to the nth degree.” “This is big-government cronyism,” Ryan said on Fox News Sunday.
“To claim that this is just some bureaucratic snafu, that’s already been disproven,” he explained after providing evidence of the IRS only singling out tea-party groups, religious groups, and donors to these groups, and leaked some of that information. At Friday’s Ways and Means Committee hearing on the IRS, the agency’s acting commissioner told Ryan that the groups were singled out as “a shortcut” to centralize applicants based on political activity.
Ryan told Chris Wallace that Congress would continue to investigate the situation, since the previous report was an audit.
