Then they don't really care about corruption in government. They only care about ideology at any cost.
Sad, really.
The "Tea Party" is the *Closest* thing to "American" right now.

As IRS efforts targeting politically-conservative groups gained momentum, George Soros-funded liberal groups repeatedly called on the IRS to investigate conservative nonprofit organizations.
While the first reported instances of extra IRS scrutiny for conservative groups began in Cincinnati in March of 2010, the attacks began to pick up steam on a national level soon after Soros-funded groups began firing off letters to the IRS in October of that year - following the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling.
The talking points of these groups then bounced around a carefully created progressive "echo chamber," until they eventually made their way into established media outlets. Key IRS policy changes about how it investigated conservative groups took place soon after it received three separate letters sent by Soros-funded liberal organizations.

A small tax-exempt political group with ties to wealthy liberals like billionaire financier George Soros has quietly helped elect 11 reform-minded progressive Democrats as secretaries of state to oversee the election process in battleground states and keep Republican “political operatives from deciding who can vote and how those votes are counted.”
Known as the Secretary of State Project (SOSP), the organization was formed by liberal activists in 2006 to put Democrats in charge of state election offices, where key decisions often are made in close races on which ballots are counted and which are not.
The group’s website said it wants to stop Republicans from “manipulating” election results.

I think pleading the 5th was very smart of her, keeps her from being thrown under the bus anymore so than she already is.
I have to applaud the IRS, most government agencies would be happy to use one of their employees as a scapegoat for a scandal.
Issa is clearly not interested in finding the truth, the manner in which he's conducted these investigations show that clearly. rather he just wants a statement he can spin into a confession of some guilt. Picking it apart asking about each word, getting the person being examined tired/fatigued/frusterated/flustered to the point where they begin to make self-incriminating statements.
Heck I could see all these investigations (the sheer number of them, all the hearings, the pain in the ass it must be to have to schedule your life around said hearings and investigations) as almost a form of torture, a subtle form, but one that has the same effect (gets people to confess to anything just to get it to stop).

This is about the IRS and the corruption that goes all the way to the White House.
Oh, i see, so according to you, she doesn't deserve any of the rights afforded to citizens of this country under the bill of rights bused only on your perceived notion of her impropriety.

Misdirection.
There is a report that concludes there was no white house involvement, it cites several of the interviews with IRS employess that took place during the hearings/investigations.
