Ali Meyer at the Washington FreeBeacon reports (h/t American Thinker):
Staff at IRS headquarters
in Washington, D.C., buried conservative groups’ tax exemption applications
beginning in 2010 and lasting through President Obama’s reelection campaign in
2012, according to documents released this week by Judicial Watch, a
government watchdog group.
The group
released 105 pages of FBI documents, which included interviews with
Cincinnati IRS employees who disclosed that applications by Tea Party groups
were automatically denied approval and assigned to a special group until they
heard from the IRS headquarters in Washington, D.C.
“The FBI’s 302
interviews with Cincinnati IRS employees reveal that the agency adopted a
series of policies assuring that Tea Party and other conservative group tax
exempt applications would not be approved before the November 2012 presidential
election,” according to a statement from Judicial Watch.

Will any of the top officials be
charged with anything? Perjury for starters?
