The IRS was overwhelmed with groups registering for special tax status. And the low-level people who were guilty of the targeting by name we're doing it cuz they were swamped. They searched groups who had the word tea party in them and groups who had the word progressive in them. I believe all of these groups were registering as social welfare groups which would give them special tax status . There were more conservative groups then liberal groups trying to get registered. The numerous investigations found that there was no ill intent. And one low-level person. I believe lost their job. There was no proof that anybody weaponized anyone or anything for political benefit.
