As recently as last week, the president of the Landmark Legal Foundation (Mark Levin) - the Foundation that triggered the original Treasury Inspector General's inquiry into this abuse of the IRS made the statement on his radio program that not a single Tea Party group had been interviewed by the FBI in its "investigation".
If you want to claim that the audits were balanced across political groups, you'll have to contend with the information that we have that 10 times as many conservative groups were targeted and when conservative groups were targeted they were asked 10 times as many questions.

So there's no equivalency there. Maybe a couple of progressive groups were swept up or maybe they were even targeted so that someone could have some kind of story of fairness.
