Steven Miller has been at the IRS for 25 years. He'll only be there for a few more hours. But those hours might feel like years.
IRS's acting chief Miller says he didn't discuss the targeting issue with anyone at Treasury until 2013. Says he never discussed it with WH.
Incredible, but IRS officials continue to insist they aren't sure who made some of the key decisions in the scandal.
