Bob Novak reports on what

Bob Novak reports on what he calls a smoking gun which proves that IRS audits are used as a political tool.

Novak reports only on Democratic uses of the tool, because the e-mail in question came out of the Clinton White House. It’s worth noting that the Republican Congress exercised its power in the same way.

Often Republicans and Democrats in Congress cut deals across the aisle to audit each political faction equally, which is how I understand that Citizens for a Sound Economy came to be audited some years back.
