IRS scrutiny went beyond Tea Party, targeting of conservative groups broader than thought

An IRS campaign to apply additional scrutiny to conservative groups went beyond targeting "Tea Party" and "patriot" groups to include those focused on government spending, the Constitution and several other broad areas.

The additional guidelines created by the agency were part of a timeline, obtained by Fox News, from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, which is looking into the controversial IRS practice. IRS officials apologized Friday for the scrutiny, but new information suggests senior leaders were apprised of the effort as early as 2011 despite public denials from the top.

:tsk Inexcusable. Don't ya like the way they think they can say, we're sorry, and it's all better? What they did is nothing more then scare tactics to try to cause people on the right to be afraid to form organizations to combat Obama and his merry thugs on the left.

The IRS's mainframe computer in Martinsburg, W.Va., is among the world’s most powerful. As of October 2010, the Internal Revenue Service had the capability to sift through emailing patterns associated with millions of individual Internet addresses.

Sources tell Fox News the IRS continues to collect tax data, but they also are now acquiring huge volumes of personal information on taxpayers’ digital activities, from eBay auctions, Facebook posts, and, for the first time ever, credit card and e-payment transaction records.

The "outgoing" guy was apparently leaving anyway next month. :confused

Our government has become a scary thing. It's been taken over by Chicago-way politics on a national scale and that's got the potential to be an intimidating thing for anyone who is on the opposite political spectrum from the Obama adminstration.

The outgoing commissioner of the IRS is in the hot seat Friday, scheduled to testify for the first time on his agency's scandalous practice of targeting conservative groups -- after it was revealed that another potentially implicated official is now in charge of an ObamaCare unit.

Steven Miller, the acting commissioner who was ousted by the administration earlier this week, will testify before the House Ways and Means Committee Friday morning.
