The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of the tax-exempt organizations at the time when the unit targeted tea party groups now runs the IRS office responsible for the health care legislation.
Sarah Hall Ingram served as commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012. But Ingram has since left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act office, the IRS confirmed to ABC News today.
Her successor, Joseph Grant, is taking the fall for misdeeds at the scandal-plagued unit between 2010 and 2012. During at least part of that time, Grant served as deputy commissioner of the tax-exempt unit.
Sarah Hall Ingram Is Riding High at IRS After Targeting Patriots

Soon the IRS will have a new way to put the screws to those it suspects of respecting America’s founding principles:
The IRS official who led the tax-exempt organizations unit when Tea Party groups were targeted is now in charge of the IRS office responsible for ObamaCare, two Capitol Hill sources told Fox News. …
The ObamaCare official in question, Sarah Hall Ingram, had been serving as commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations from 2009 to 2012 — the division included the group that targeted Tea Partiers — and has since left to serve as director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act division. That unit is responsible for enforcing parts of the health care law, including the fines associated with the so-called individual mandate — the requirement to buy health insurance.
The Bureauweenie in Chief has been making some conspicuously phony noises about the IRS scandal:
“Americans are right to be angry about it, and I am angry about it,” Obama said. …
However, the president knocked down the prospect of appointing a special prosecutor to investigate the IRS, saying the congressional investigations and a separate Justice Department probe should be enough to nail down who was responsible for improperly targeting Tea Party groups when they applied for tax-exempt status.
That would be the same Injustice Department that the gunrunning ultra-radical Eric Holder has openly devoted to inflicting social justice on behalf of what he calls “my people.”
What is mr speaker going to do about all those millions in wasteful bonuses to irs people like this slut, oh, never mind george w gave her bonuses as well.
I am not a republican I am a conservative, and supporter of the rule of law. And refuse to support any of Roves dopes.
Sarah Hall Ingram will have to go! There's no way she can stay on in that position!!
Why doesn't Congress appoint a special commission to investigate? It doesn't seem right that Obama can appoint investigators and pretend to be impartial to the investigation. That's too much power in the hands of one man. When did we stop having checks & balances in our government?
