Harassing Letters to Tea Party Groups Came From Washington DC-Not Cincinnati

It's funny how those two "rogue" IRS employees in Cincinnati where able to put Washington DC letterheads on their correspondence. From the Daily Mail:
Letters from the IRS to tea party-related organizations in Oklahoma City and Albuquerque, New Mexico show that IRS headquarters in Washington, D.C., and two satellite offices in California, were directly involved with sending harassing letters to conservative organizations that sought tax-exempt status.
The IRS has acknowledged only the involvement of its Exempt Organizations office in Cincinnati, Ohio, which typically makes most decisions about granting or denying tax-exempt status to non-profit organizations.
And Wednesday afternoon, CNN cited a congressional source in reporting that the acting IRS Commissioner – whom President Obama fired later in the day – had identified two 'rogue' employees, both in Cincinnati, whom he thought were responsible for targeting right-wing organizations with tactics that were not applied to left-wing or non-political groups

The American Center for Law and Justice furnished this letter originating in Washington, DC. Is the author of this letter ( Hilary Goehausen ) a rogue?
