I can't speak for the entire IRS. That would be a question for the Chief Counsel or the Commissioner.

The need to consult with the White House arises with respect to all types of document requests, including congressional committee requests, GAO requests, judicial subpoenas, and FOIA requests.

To the extent that I have been involved in responses to Congress or to FOIA, we have never shared information with the White House.

I still think this is amazing, that none of them had ever testified on this issue before.

Deliberative process exemption has increased dramatically?

I mean, what does that mean, for Pete's sake? I mean, normal people can't understand all that.

the very same agencies that may not give information under a legitimate FOIA request were also targeting citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights.

The fact is that the inspector general said you can't account for $500 million.

It is well past time that someone be held accountable for these management failures.

By turning a blind eye, EPA management allowed at least six more women to be harassed by Mr. Jutro.

But the point is that the inspector general said you can't account for it.
