Government documents obtained by a top "Inside the Beltway" watchdog group and released on Thursday reveal that Internal Revenue Service's Lois Lerner was strongly urged by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Michigan, and Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, her assistance in attacking certain non-profit political groups. The organizations they selected for targeting by Lerner were part of the Tea Party and conservative movements.

I saw this claim regarding McCain urging the Tea Party be targeted by the IRS and wanted to check the sources to validate. I couldn't find the claim being made anywhere else so it made me wonder if it was true. It has the ring of suspicion to me. If true it is despicable. Can anyone find a second source for the claim?
