mr. lawrence o'donnell, as the crew group, the citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington has pointed out any petition, you are to be denied his status if you are not exclusively engaged in social welfare according to the statute is that not correct? statute is explicit. it uses the words exclusively, the regulation of the irs adopted 30 or 40 years ago uses different language. >> if this is addressed to me, mr. doggett, i have to demur to secretary. that's a tax policy question and i'm not in the position -- >> i'm not asking for tax policy. i'm just adding for clear reading of the statute. and a clear reading of the statute that has been in place for decades and is in place today says that there should be a denial of tax-exempt status to any group that is not exclusively engaged in social welfare operations, and it was only after a regulation adopted long ago, long before any of you were at the irs, that changed exclusively to primarily that there was any discussion for this section to be involved in this operation. operation. >> mr. doggett, i do know that we have indicated that so

lawrence is the executive based virginia tea party. mr. norton says the internal revenue service asked his group beginning in 2010 more than two years ago 500 pages of documents including all of norton's communications and the names of every donor. >> it is not creepy, toes honest with you, to figure they were trying to did i have have i out -- trying to give out who we were and questions who the secret police might ask. >> well, is this the way they do this with the internal revenue service in handling tea party applications? >> not specifically but there was a general atmosphere where people felt they were egged on to do this and this was just bureaucracy and there was a filter to do this more efficiently. it's not efficient to ask detailed questions to go back around and delay them for years when you are sweeping the progressive groups and giving them a stamp of approval. >> i don't know they were swept in. >> they were. they have the rubber stamp. 250 employees are dealing with 750 applications. they should not have the discretion to m

. >> lawrence was visibly affected by mrs. tuthill. he two of them spoke, what was so interesting to me was lawrence wanted to make her feel better. >> you know, you said you couldn't protect her. i don't believe that. i believe you protected her and it was just someone else's violence that caused what happened. you protected her more than you knew. and you're still protecting her today, doing this. giving of yourself to people who don't deserve it. >> she took comfort in what lawrence was saying. and i think it made him feel somewhat better to be able to give her some type of comfort. >> thank you. thank you. >> thank you. >> but i also think her sharing of that story helped lawrence get in touch with the people he had victimized. >> lawrence, how were you changed by miss tuthill's talk? >> um, i don't -- i just -- i don't know how -- i don't know how to explain it. i really don't. it's deeper than words can ever be said. i don't know if i'll ever -- if i'll ever have that kind of opportunity. and just to be honest, i don't know if i w
