The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of the tax-exempt
organizations at the time when the unit targeted tea party groups now
runs the IRS office responsible for the health care legislation.
Sarah Hall Ingram served as commissioner of the office responsible
for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012. But Ingram has since
left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act office, the IRS confirmed to ABC News today.
Her successor, Joseph Grant, is taking the fall for misdeeds at the
