Taking the IRS Fifth - WSJ.com: "Asked by Fox News's Bill O'Reilly whether there was any corruption in the IRS handling of groups applying for tax-exempt status, Mr. Obama said "absolutely not," adding that the policy that delayed hundreds of applications by conservative groups was a case of "some bone-headed decisions out of a local office." By local he means Cincinnati.
The President's clairvoyance is extraordinary, since neither the Justice Department nor Congress has finished investigations. The congressional probes have conducted interviews with dozens of employees from the IRS and Treasury Department and reviewed hundreds of thousands of pages of documents. They have already revealed that the tea-party cases, including intrusive questionnaires, were systematically reviewed by lawyers in the IRS Washington office."
