(Reuters) - The outgoing head of the Internal Revenue Service acknowledged
on Friday that the tax agency planned its initial disclosure about having
targeted conservative groups through a planted question at a lawyers'
conference.
Acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller told lawmakers during a Capitol Hill
hearing that the question-and-answer session that exposed the tax agency's
targeting of conservative groups for extra scrutiny had been carefully
planned.
"It was a prepared Q and A," Miller said when asked about IRS official
Lois Lerner's response to a question from a lobbyist at an American Bar
Association conference last week.
When pressed whether the question was planted in advance, Miller said, "I
believe that we talked about that, yes."
Miller did not elaborate on why the IRS chose such a strategy to reveal
what has become a scandal over whether the tax agency treated some
conservative groups fairly.
Miller was fired on Wednesday as the White House sought to stem criticism
over the IRS matter. On Thursday, Obama chose White House budget official
Daniel Werfel to replace Miller as acting commissioner.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat criminal, accessory before and after the fact to
improper vetting of Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama, a confirmed

Obama ignored the brutal killing of an American diplomat in Benghazi, then
relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder
in order to cover up his own ineptness.
Obama continues his goal of disarming America while ObamaCare increases

Obama helped bankrupt Illinois. Democrat run Chicago closes 54 public
