In 2013, Obama had a scandal on his hands, despite extensive protection from the media. The IRS was deliberately targeting conservative political groups seeking tax exempt status. To be fair, one or two progressive groups also fell under Obama's ire, but groups with "tea party"or "patriot" were automatically targeted for time consuming and expensive processes and scrutiny.
This illegal and unconstitutional harassment resulted in the resignation of the director, Steve Miller and the division head responsible for the targeting of Conservative groups, Lois Lerner. She was later held in contempt of Congress for refusal to testify before the investigation committees. Obama was shielded from scrutiny from Congress or media.
To repeat this mistake under what is just an extension of the Obama administration is worse than foolish.
