was going on we took steps to make it better and i don t expect those things to reoccur. this is a complete and total abuse of power by bureaucrats and they re distributioning the power that they have abusing the power in the irs. it is completely unacceptable. chris: an irs official acknowledging it gave extra scrutiny to conservative groups seeking tax exempt status but a tea party official dismissed the apology as not enough. we are back with the panel. big new developments today in the irs story. and inspector general s report due out it in the next few days will report the following. irs officials knew as early as 2011, not 2012 as previously reported the agency was targeting conservative groups for extra scrutiny and singled out groups with tea party or are patriot or 912 project in the name. kim, how big a deal? a very big deal not only because of what you just said
