“I also will include in the Record a May 7, 2014, letter that emphasizes that this is a bipartisan investigation. The inspector general of the Tax Administration, appointed by George Bush, is working with the U.S. Department of Justice. It negates very visibly any suggestion of conflict of interest or that this is a biased investigation. U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Legislative Affairs, Washington, DC, May 7, 2014. Hon. Dave Camp, Chairman, Committee on Ways and Means, House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Dear Mr. Chairman: This responds to your letter of April 9, 2014, providing the Department of Justice (the Department) information and documents that the Committee on Ways and Means (the Committee) has obtained in the course of its ongoing investigation into allegations of targeting by the Internal Revenue Service of organizations based on their political views. As you may know, the Department has an ongoing criminal investigation into the IRS's treatment of groups applying for tax-exempt status, which is being conducted jointly with the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA). We appreciate your concern and will carefully consider the Committee's findings as part of our investigation into these allegations. We hope that this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact this office if we may provide assistance in this or any other matter. Sincerely, Peter J. Kadzik, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General.”
