An official with a documented role in the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups during the Obama administration is now serving as the acting director of the IRS’s Office of Professional Responsibility, the agency’s ethics division.

Elizabeth Kastenberg, who was directly involved in overseeing IRS scrutiny of Tea Party-affiliated organizations seeking tax-exempt status, is now tasked with enforcing professional conduct among tax practitioners, preparers, and other third parties.

Her appointment was highlighted in new research conducted by the American Accountability Foundation (AAF), a nonprofit watchdog group, and first reported by the Washington Examiner.
