Yes I believe is within the realm of possibilities, although I do not know if it is factually true.
What we do know is that under the Obama administration the IRS was used to target and undermine conservative groups, and this practice went on for years with very little outrage. Therefore it's not totally uncharacteristic behavior.

- maxerickson 10y agoWe actually don't know the IRS was used to target and undermine conservative groups. There are indications that the IRS did target the groups, there's no documentation of the motivation or whether it was directed by someone with political ties to the Whitehouse. (For example: a mid level manager could have done it to be capricious. Or because they had experience with people exploiting energized political movements to obtain fraudulent tax exemptions.)
