on the irs. think the biggest concern many of us have is most americans didn't have a lot of trust already, and now they have very little trust the irs is being fair in enforcement of the law. i have heard folks say they don't want to get involved in campaigns or be associated with a group because they're afraid they are going to be personally subject to audits. regardless of what rules we write at the irs, it's not the rules themselves. it's how they are enforced. it's whether we can trust the individuals to do the right egg. what can you do to ensure that folks, even if the rules are there, they enforce them fairly? that's the biggest concern for my constituents. not new rules, but that they are enforced. >> the public needs to have that confidence. one reason i am spending as much time talking to front-line employees is i am trying to make sure our culture encourages everybody to raise issues and concerns whenever they have them. danny set in motion the beginnings of a program of risk manageme

on top of that, the irs, according to dave camp, the irs erroneously sent $132 billion to taxpayer moneylse, fraudulent claimants over the last ten years. and on top of that, you know, a tax code should encourage innovation. and investment. and discipline. >> danelle, that last point is where i pick up. i think the focus here on this reform is simplification, as mary suggests. but it's also growth. we need a tax code that doesn't retard the economy but enhanced it. and more incentive to do so in places that really increase productivity. i think this goes a big step in that direction. not perfect, but a big step in that direction? >> for sure. i've taken a look at some provisions and let me say it's not going to put tax accountants out of business. >> no, that's a dream. >> it's simple. but it's not simple. another one of this thing does is reduce the corporate rate to 25%. >> which is 35%. closer to 40 if you include state rates. >> yeah. if you talk to people in business, they would say, wow, that would enlock a lot of money if you would get that rate down to 25%. the interesting thing

to see if they were violating irs laws. that's exactly what they did. that what is these hearings have been about. what more do you need to connect the dots of the fact something was set in motion to push these people out of politics? >> this is also a developing story in the sense that the irs has proposed a new regulation about what these so-called nonprofit groups can or cannot do politically. it's got an uproar in response from the right and left. >> it's an astonishing uproar. the rule within a comment period. and it closed thursday with over 100,000 individual comments. it was already breaking records when it was at 20,000. this was an astonishing response coming from the left and the right. you had groups like the aclu saying it would significantly chill political speech. you also had the liberal group alliance for justice saying this would significantly harm the infrastructure of our democracy. we can't forget about the tea party groups, too. jenny beth martin testified in the oversight committee this week. she said

i'm actually all for a special prosecutor. >> the irs works for the treasury department and the irs council is a political appointee. when asked during congress what do you know about this he said i don't know, 80 times. doesn't that tell you that something weird is going on here? >> it came from the white house. >> hold on a second. i want to get to john's point which is very important. there was a political election that may have been influenced by what the irs was doing. we saw the political power of the tea party in 2010. it was enormous. it wasn't used by any means, maybe that was the republicans' fault, but this could have affected the outcome of the 2012 election, no? >> you had organizations mobilized, volunteer organizations mobilized, it made a huge difference in 2010 and the white house knew they were in trouble in 2012 and had to e mass ka late these organizations and they did. they were much more concerned about going out and doing their job and more concerned with staying out of white house. the white house, the fact that they appointed somebody who made political contribution

best irs we can possibly run. i would equally convinced that there wasn't any kind of a malicious action. it was bad judgment, and that that judgment is unacceptable. >> i ask you because what you'vu expressed them seems at odds with the current attitude. ot win at the president has gone far to refer to those that disagree with you as a scandal, to be quoted. i would suggest you are either going further to codify that bad behavior into law. how can we interpret this new rule as anything other than an attempt to achieve the same stifling of the 50134? >> senator i continue to be leave that to the attempt to turn this into a scandal will do not reflect the nature of the bad judgment that was involved. >> 100% of the 501 c. four that had a cheap party in their name were referred for extra -- the word progressive did not appear for extra scrutiny and of the 298 political cases, only six have progressive in their name. what do you conclude from that? >> i think bad judgment was closer to the. it addressed concerns of t

this is the use of irs assets to communicate. we would presume that the majority of it is not shopping online. as a matter of fact, in the case of lois lerner, she did her shopping online in a hotmail account. which she also did 6103 material on. so, you know, in the normal case, this would not be something you'd look through, but we and the department of justice, if they're actually doing the investigation they claim to, we have an obligation to look and figure out whether we can opt out these communications which in this case were always the product of the government, always available, and as you know, it is a given that communication on government computers is, in fact, open to government review. i just wanted to make sure the public understands that. thank you, mr. connolly. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i would say to the ranking member, sounds like his understanding is correct. and i would hope we'd do the same with, oh, i don't know, the
