Today the House Ways and Means Committee questioning fired IRS
Commissioner Steve Miller, one of his deputies J. Russell George, this
because the IRS has admitted it unfairly targeted conservative groups for
years.
Yet the boss, Miller, says he doesn't know much about it.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MILLER: I'm going to take exception to the content of targeting because
that's a loaded term the listing was done...
REP. KEVIN BRADY (R), TEXAS: This is not a listing, you created a "be on
the lookout" list.
MILLER: Yes.
BRADY: That's not a centralized government mandated or directed listing.
You had a "be on the lookout" list that you acknowledge. Who is
responsible for targeting these individuals?
MILLER: So, I don't have names for you, Mr. Brady. And I'm willing to try
to find that out.

O'REILLY: Well since his last day, I think it's today. You know, come on.
So let's see, in Benghazi, the Obama administration is going to find out
nothing would happen and bring the terrorists to justice. And now in the
IRS scandal, they are willing to find out. You sense a theme here?

BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Attorney General Holder
also announced a criminal investigation of what happened. Between those
investigations, I think we're going to be able to figure out exactly what
happened.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
O'REILLY: He'll be able to figure it out. Now, I'm mocking this because
it's so ridiculous. The Inspector General discovered the IRS targeting
conservative groups months ago. Surely Mr. Miller and the White House
both knew the IRS was being investigated. Yet now, not before, now
everybody wants to find out who did what. This is why many Americans
don't trust their government.
"Talking Points" doesn't know who directed IRS agents to target and I'll
use that word, conservative groups and individuals. But surely Miller
knows much more than he is saying. And that brings us to what happens
next. Miller could be indicted. That's possible. The FBI is
investigating. But only, only when IRS people from the inside start to
blow the whistle will the scandal be defined. Until that happens it's all
speculation.
What's not speculation is the chaos we are seeing in Washington right
now. That's damaging the nation. And the President is rightfully taking
massive heat. And that's "The Memo."
