Carter Hull, formerly of the IRS is telling all he knows about the targeting of conservatives and he knows a lot. He was ordered to review Tea Party cases from the Cincinnati office, which wasn’t unusual. He is an expert in tax exempt status and had been with the IRS for over 45 years at the time. That’s when it began to get weird. (Or clear, depending on your viewpoint)
Hull’s testimony was used in a letter yesterday from the committee to acting head of the IRS, Danny Werfel. This is the first direct link between the IRS scandal and the White House. It also proves that the Inspector General’s report was a total sham. It intentionally avoided the real culprits and tried to make scapegoats of the Cincinnati office who were under orders from the Washington bureau and Lois Lerner
Hull said that after his review their was a meeting between himself, Lerner’s senior adviser and the Chief Counsel’s office. There can be no doubt that this scandal goes right to the very top and that may very well include the White House. It just depends on what scares Wilkins more, prison or Obama.
