"Reality Check Cincinnati IRS agent Cindy Thomas giving orders?"
At this point, Cincinnati news reporters seem to be posting more information about the IRS trouble ahead of the national media...
At Cincinnati's FOX19.com, Ben Swann reports this in some detail:
"The claim that the ongoing IRS scandal is limited to low level employees is falling apart.
The six Cincinnati workers we have identified, who sent scrutinizing letters to conservative groups with words including 'patriot, liberty, tea party or 9-12' in their names are Mitchel Steele, Carly Young, Joseph Herr, Stephen Seok, Liz Hofacre and a woman identified only as Ms. Richards.
But was all of this done at the hands of a small group of Cincinnati employees working together? During Friday's congressional hearing, that appeared to be the theme. Now, that explanation just became less likely.
Thanks to two FOX19 sources connected to the IRS, we now understand the chain of command for these workers."
