“‘What do you expect when you target the President?’ This is what an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agent allegedly said to the head of a conservative organization that was being audited after calling for the impeachment of then-President Clinton. Recent revelations that IRS agents gave ‘special scrutiny’ to organizations opposed to the current administration’s policies suggest that many in the IRS still believe harassing the president’s opponents is part of their job. As troubling as these recent reports are, it would be a grave mistake to think that IRS harassment of opponents of the incumbent president is a modern, or a partisan, phenomenon.”
