In the end, the IRS managed to put its thumb on the political scale by squelching political activity on the right — some groups report curtailing get-out-the-vote efforts, spending piles of money on legal fees or disbanding altogether in the face of IRS inquisitions.

And all of it happened during a close and hotly contested presidential election where such mischievousness could make a real difference.

Does any of this sound like it’s the result of a random bureaucratic snafu or the work of a couple of “rogue agents”?

Sounds suspicious.
