At The Hill, Pelosi doubles down:
“IRS targeting scandal rooted in campaign finance politics”
“Ousted IRS chief defends targeting of groups as obnoxious, not illegal”

Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS.
The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week. It’s the first evidence that someone within the Obama administration knew about the practice during the presidential campaign.
Wash. Post: “Justice didn’t follow its own rules in AP case”
