Gwinnett Daily Post | POLITICAL NOTEBOOK: Isakson: Georgians have lost confidence in the government

Even before people rallied at the state Capitol last week to protest the targeting of conservative groups by the Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson took those frustrations to Washington.

During a meeting of the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday, the Georgia senator demanded answers from former IRS Commissioners Steven Miller and Douglas Shulman.

“I’ve heard from Georgians from across the state that they have lost all confidence in the IRS and in the federal government. We need to get to the bottom of what happened at the IRS and find out who knew what, where and when, so that we can restore the American people’s confidence in the IRS,” Isakson said. “The audit clearly shows that there was major wrongdoing at the IRS, and I strongly believe that there should be an internal investigation conducted at the IRS so that the corrupt culture of targeting individuals never happens again.”
