Evidence suggests IRS continued surveillance on some Tea Party nonprofits well after tax-exempt scandal erupted and purported clean up began.
"Republicans investigating the IRS targeting scandal said Wednesday that the agency continued to conduct secret surveillance on tea party groups even after approving them for tax-exempt status. Acting Commissioner Danny Werfel said he shut down the monitoring program after he found out about it, and said he has halted all audits of tax-exempt organizations based on political activity as he tries to get a handle on the embattled agency." -- Stephen Dinan and Seth McLaughlin, the Washington Times
