Hey look, there really was an IRS scandal:

IRS inspector general ‘personally’ blocked info on targeting of left-leaning groups

The IRS was prepared to provide the document to the House Oversight Committee, which is investigating IRS misconduct. But George personally called Werfel and claimed that releasing the document would violate taxpayer confidentiality laws. Section 6103 of the tax code prohibits the IRS from revealing specific information about taxpayers, but Werfel said no such information would be disclosed.

The document purportedly shows that left-leaning groups that applied for tax-exempt status were processed in the same manner as applications from tea party groups.

Though Democrats initially decried the mistreatment of tea party groups when the IRS scandal first broke, they have increasingly turned their attention to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. Democrats have said George — a Bush appointee — released a “fundamentally flawed” investigation of the IRS that omitted key information about left-leaning groups.
