It's Washington's new outrage. What exactly happened and who is responsible?

On Friday, May 10, a top official with the Internal Revenue Service dropped a bombshell. IRS staffers had singled out conservative organizations with
"tea party" or "patriots" in their name that were seeking tax-exempt
nonprofit status, subjecting them to extra scrutiny to see if they were
abusing the tax law as it relates to political activity. They grilled
these conservative groups about their members, their donors, their
public statements, and who they employed. And there is no evidence yet
that the IRS systemically treated non-conservative groups with the same
level of attention.
