PELLEY: Are you satisfied today that politics is wrung out of the IRS and does not influence the decisions that are made there?
LEW: With all of the investigation that's gone on, there has been no evidence of any political decision-making in the IRS. There was clearly bad judgment. The President said that. I said that. We put in place a new acting commissioner who has done what he was asked to do to get to the bottom of it and to go forward building a strong IRS that the public can be confident in.
