Danny Werfel, IRS Chief, Says Inappropriate Screening Was Used More Broadly Than Disclosed

Danny Werfel, IRS Chief, Says Inappropriate Screening Was Used More Broadly Than Disclosed:

Danny Werfel, the principal deputy commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, acknowledged on Monday that the same tactic that got the tax agency in trouble for screening tea party organizations before the 2012 elections was used elsewhere by agency officials.

In a conference call with reporters, Werfel said an internal investigation of the IRS scandal, the findings of which were released Monday afternoon, had unearthed other instances in which "Be On The Look Out" (BOLO) lists were used. He has since ended the use of the tactic, he said, calling the screening criteria used in these other instances "inappropriate."
