The IRS must be apolitical, and in this case it wasn’t.

You sure about that? You don’t find center by simply assuming both sides are equidistant from it. From an IRS agent’s perspective it makes a lot of sense to believe that people who are ideological opposed to paying taxes might try to abuse the tax code to that exact purpose.

This whole investigation and the administration’s responses to it are more about political pragmatism than principal. In a sane world what the IRS agents did would be called reasonable suspicion.
