MSNBC HOST ALEX WAGNER: ‘IRS was the REAL target in Tea Party 501 investigations’

Mediaite:

In the wake of new revelations regarding how former IRS official Lois Lerner coordinated with liberal advocacy groups and members of Congress to release the details of the tax-exemption applications of conservative groups, MSNBC host Alex Wagner charged that the victim and victimizer roles in this investigation have been turned on their heads. She said that the IRS is the real group that has been targeted in this affair.

“There is a controversy here,” Wagner conceded. She said, however, that the true controversy in the IRS scandal involves the influence of outside money.

After detailing some of the revelations released this week involving how the IRS tried to draft a letter denying Karl Rove‘s Crossroads GPS its tax-exempt status was agonized over, Wagner said it was striking how little oversight there was of the new post-Citizens United rules.

“In my mind, the IRS, who was trying to get this out, they were the ones that have been actually targeted in this whole investigation,” Wagner asserted.

Do you think these people have ANY idea what they sound like?
