WASHINGTON – Crossroads GPS president & CEO Steven Law today issued the following statement regarding the House Ways & Means Committee’s letter to the Department of Justice on actions taken by IRS employee Lois Lerner:
“The House Ways and Means Committee investigation confirms that there was an organized high-level effort within the IRS to subvert the agency’s own standards and procedures in order to harass law-abiding conservative advocacy groups like Crossroads GPS.
“We appreciate the unwavering efforts of Chairman Camp and the Committee to get to the bottom of this scandal. We trust that the Committee’s action will bring to justice those who violated the public’s trust so that groups like ours will be able to exercise First Amendment rights without IRS harassment or retaliation.”
