every detail of your life. seems the tables are being turned on the irs. they are demanding an investigation into the internal revenue service. they admit some of the low level workers wrongly target a conservative group among them especially tea party or patriots in their name. and while the agency is apologizing for its mistake some members of congress say sorry isn't enough. they are calling for more scrutiny in the investigation. i don't care if you are a conservative liberal democrat or republican this should send a chill up your spine. this is something we cannot let go. we have to have a full investigation. >> it is absolutely chilling that the irs was singling out conservative groups for extra review and i think that is very disappointing that the president has been personally condemned
