Some of the IRS workers being accused of targeting conservatives are being referred to as "rogue," and "off the reservation," but according to a Fox19 report from two days ago, those workers "simply did what their bosses ordered."
Prior to his resignation, Steven Miller called the two Cincinnati employees 'rogue' and 'off the reservation,' adding that they were 'overly aggressive' in handling the requests from those conservative groups over the past two years.
Miller also added that those two employees have already been 'disciplined' by the agency.
However, despite the claim of just two employees being involved, FOX19 has exclusively learned from two separate sources that there could be at least four Cincinnati employees involved.
Those four employees, whose names we have chosen to withhold until they have been officially confirmed, have each worked in the IRS Exempt Organizations Department.
According to the report: One of FOX19's two sources went on say that these four IRS workers claim "they simply did what their bosses ordered." FOX19 reported on Tuesday that the report by the Office of Inspector General states that senior IRS officials knew agents were targeting Tea Party groups as early as 2011.
Sounds as if these workers are being tossed under the bus but were not "rogue" at all, nor "off the reservation," but instead the targeting was systematic and the orders to do so, came straight from the top.
