Subj : IRS Hearings To : ALL From : BOB KLAHN Date : Sun Jul 13 1986 15:21:50 BK>> The "IRS Thing" happened under a Bush appointee. RW> LOL! Bush hasn't been in the WH office since Jan 20, 2009... The IRS thing started in 2010. The former director of the IRS was appointed by Bush for a 5 year term that ended in Nov 2012. RW> Last November, those working for the IRS were also working RW> for Obama, taking orders from the Obama appointed US RW> Treasurer, Jacob Lew. No, they took orders from the Bush appointed director of the IRS, Douglas Shulman. That's due to a change in the law after Nixon, when the IRS was given independent status with a director appointed for 5 years, to carry over without political removal. RW> Then there is the Obama appointed IRS commisnioner, Steven RW> T. Miller. As the acting IRS commissioner since November he RW> announced his resignation Wednesday at the request of RW> Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew. He is a sacrificial lamb because Shulman was in office when the IRS actions started.
