White House Adviser on Tea-Party Targeting: Law Is ‘Irrelevant’

Today on This Week, White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said that the law regarding the IRS’s targeting of tea-party-affiliated groups is “irrelevant.” When host George Stephanopoulos asked him if the president thinks it is illegal for IRS employees to create lists targeting groups and individuals, Pfeiffer responded, “I can’t speak to the law here. The law is irrelevant. The activity needs the stopped. It needs to be fixed.”
