Washington • Rep. Jason Chaffetz said the House probe into the IRS’ targeting of tea party groups will rage on and he criticized the White House on Thursday for laying the blame on low-level workers in Cincinnati when some agency leaders in Washington were also involved. The White House and IRS leaders initially laid the blame on two mid-level employees, including one, Elizabeth Hofacre, who asked to be transferred off of the tea party cases back in 2010.

Chaffetz questioned Hofacre at the hearing, asking her if it was accurate that "rogue IRS agents" did this on their own.

"I was following directions from management and they were aware of what I was dong," she said. "I know the accuracy of any inference to rogue agents is not correct."

Chaffetz then launched into a fiery critique of the White House.

"When you have the spokesperson of the president of the United States make a definitive statement that it was two rogue agents and start poking at these people, who have no power to do anything about it, that is wrong," he said. "How dare anybody suggest we are at the end of this. This is the beginning of this. We have to make an example of it. We need to get to the bottom of it."
