As we reported on 'Good Morning America' this morning, the IRS began targeting 'Tea Party or similar organizations' in March 2010.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/18/us/politics/irs-scandal-congressional-hearings.html"The Treasury Department's inspector general told senior Treasury officials in June 2012 he was investigating allegations that the Internal Revenue Service had targeted conservative groups, disclosing for the first time on Friday that Obama administration officials were aware of the matter during the presidential campaign year. At the first Congressional hearing into the I.R.S. scandal, J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration, told members of the House Ways and Means Committee that he informed the Treasury's general counsel of his investigation on June 4, and Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin 'shortly thereafter.' The new information came as part of a routine briefing of the investigations that the inspector general would be conducting in the coming year, and he did not tell the officials of his conclusions that the targeting had been improper, he said."

Lerner again takes the Fifth in Tea Party scandalWASHINGTON — Former IRS official Lois Lerner again declined to answer any questions Wednesday when she appeared before a House committee investigating the tax agency's extra scrutiny of applications from conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.
House Republicans had summoned Lerner to testify before Congress on Wednesday, more than nine months after she invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has argued that she waived her rights at that May 22 hearing when she made an opening statement — noting she had done nothing wrong — and answered one question about a document that had been entered into the record.
