Today, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew gave an interview to Scott Pelley. In the clip, he attempts to bat aside the IRS targeting scandal by asserting that there's "no evidence" any political employee was involved in the targeting.

to suggest the administration's innocence (i.e., that "no evidence"
exists), means only that investigators have so far been prevented from
uncovering all the facts. When a key witness takes the Fifth; the President's hand-picked new IRS chief misleadingly "reports" that lefty groups were targeted, too; and Democrats seek to attack the Inspector General rather

will take a while to emerge, but that doesn't necessarily mean it
doesn't exist.
