…At a February committee hearing, Cummings claimed that any notion that he or his staff had put True The Vote “on the radar screen” of the IRS was “absolutely incorrect and untrue.”
This new information, in the form of letters and emails from 2012 to 2013, suggests coordination between Cummings’ office and the IRS. There was even a direct funneling of information from IRS supervisor Lois Lerner to Cummings’ staff at the congressman’s request. This prompted Issa and other GOP committee members to ask Cummings for an explanation.

After all three networks failed to cover the story on their nightly news broadcasts on Wednesday, only CBS This Morning bothered to mention the revelations on Thursday April 10.
