"numerous groups targeted by the IRS in the same time span with different political ideologies"
Yes, multiple groups with different political ideologies were targeted.
"only Conservative group were targeted"
How, can it be "only conservative" if multiple groups with different ideologies were targeted?
I'm not sure what you are claiming was illegal.
You are quoting me out of context, of course it will not make sense.

only Conservative group were targeted because of their specific political ideology

My understanding of the issue the IG identified was that the methodology the IRS used would tend to result in more conservative groups being selected for more intense investigation. It did not have to do with their ideology.
The criteria was any group with "Tea Party" in their name. That has everything to do with political ideology and it's illegal. There was other Conservative groups targeted to, no such liberal groups were flagged because of their ideology.

How about "Sink the Tea Party"?
More seriously what law was violated? If the IRS had a belief that many or most "Tea Party" organizations were cheating on the requirements I don't see a law violation.
Now is someone at the IRS said to interfere with the conservative organizations I certainly see a problem.
I don't think the IRS even has to be correct, But I would think they could go after any group of which they had suspicions. This is not a court. And there is no innocent until proven guilty.

One CAN NOT cheat before being approved for the designation.
Well the fact that no applications from conservative groups were rejected should be of interest.
