Monty, over at Ace of Spades, lays out pretty well my thinking on the subject.
I don't think we're going to find a smoking gun email that lays the IRS issue on the Resolute Desk.
It's the culture of government. It didn't have to be explicit. It's just the attitude of the organization. I've been in and around the beast for 55 years, 35 of them cashing checks that originate in the Treasury, even if lately they've been laundered through several other bank accounts before they got to me.
It's not a conspiracy because nothing actually has to be planned in secret. Nothing has to be commanded from on high. Nothing has to be written down, or even spoken in plain language. Lois Lerner and Douglas Schulman didn't need detailed marching orders. All the President had to do was muse sadly about how much he could accomplish if only these troublesome Tea Party types were out of the picture. Functionaries like Schulman and Lerner would immediately grasp the message and put it into action.
It's
the culture.
EPA, FDA, etc. It's the culture.
