WHO IS IRS LAWYER CARTER HULL - AND WHO IS HIS BOSS?
Two Internal Revenue Service employees in the agency's Cincinnati office told congressional investigators that IRS officials in Washington helped direct the probe of tea-party groups that began in 2010. Transcripts of the interviews, viewed Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal, appear to contradict earlier statements by top IRS officials, who have blamed lower-level workers in Cincinnati.
Elizabeth Hofacre said her office in Cincinnati sought help from IRS officials in the Washington unit that oversees tax-exempt organizations after she started getting the tea party cases in April 2010. Ms. Hofacre said Carter Hull, an IRS lawyer in Washington, closely oversaw her work and suggested some of the questions asked applicants. "I was essentially a front person, because I had no autonomy or no authority to act on [applications] without Carter Hull's influence or input," she said, according to the transcripts.
IRS employees: Washington IRS official Carter Hull oversaw targeting of conservative groups
As The Daily Caller has reported, at least five different IRS offices in Cincinnati, Ohio; Baltimore, Maryland; Chicago, Illinois; Laguna Niguel and El Monte, California; improperly demanded extensive information from conservative groups applying for tax-exempt nonprofit status between 2010 and 2012. The IRS demanded copies of training materials distributed by conservative groups, as well as personal information on college interns and even the contents of a religious group’s prayers. One employee of the agency’s Cincinnati office told congressional investigators last week that Washington was “basically throwing us underneath the bus.” Carter Hull, who is a co-author of a 1995 chapter [pdf] on scrutinizing 501(c)(5) labor unions in the construction industry, lists his residence as Silver Spring, Maryland on his Facebook page.

The scandal is about treating people differently under the gov't's protocols.
It's a sad day when the american people don't even understand what the gov't's role is supposed to be.
IRS Attorney Carter Hull Sent Targeted Letters to ACLJ Tea Party Clients from Washington, D.C.
Carter C. Hull, a Tax Law Specialist with the IRS Exempt Organizations Technical Group in Washington, D.C., helped write the book, literally, on 501(C)(4) Organizations for the IRS.
But more importantly, Carter Hull sent targeted inquiry letters to our targeted Tea Party clients, as evidenced here, demanding answers to intrusive questions “under penalties of perjury.”
The more we learn about what happened the more it becomes clear that the IRS targeting was severe, widespread, and ongoing, despite the repeated claims of the Administration.
