It's common knowledge that President Obama's IRS unfairly targeted tea party groups. The scandal began in 2010, but did not surface until 2013. Since that time, we've learned how the agency delayed the tax-exempt statuses of dozens of conservative organizations. For about two years, the agency worked off of a "Be On the Look Out" list for conservative labels, subjecting those groups to extra scrutiny.
It's a new era and now the Justice Department, under the purview of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, is beginning to make amends. The department announced Thursday that it has reached two settlements with right-leaning groups that were targeted. In his announcement, Sessions gave a brief history of the last administration's inappropriate behavior, before pledging it won't happen under his watch.
