When Delaware GOP Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell was informed by the IRS that her tax records had been breached and published, it seemed at the time - 2010 - that it was an isolated incident.

Nearly 4 years later, the political dirty trick can be seen in a much different light. Revelations about the IRS targeting conservatives has called into question who accessed the information and gave it to the press.

The problem for O'Donnell and anyone who wants to get to the truth is that incredibly, getting to the bottom of who in the IRS is responsible will never be known. The law is set up to protect IRS employees from exposure.

Meanwhile, the House Ways and Means Committee has joined the Senate Finance Committee into trying to get to the bottom of the case.

Washington Times:

Gee...you'd think the system was rigged to protect IRS political machinations, eh?

Just an aside - the administration doesn't care how it looks when they use the IRS to target conservatives this year. They are beyond caring because the press and the American people don't care. The press will be cheering the IRS on as they seek to destroy the Tea Party and other conservative groups because they genuinely feel they are obstructing social progress and need to be silenced.

As far as gleaning a pattern of behavior from the IRS, for the press it's see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.
