| Description | "According to public records of White House visitors, the IRS commissioner who left office shortly after President Obama's re-election visited the White House far more often than any cabinet official.
Visitor logs show that Douglas Shulman visited the White House 157 times during his time in the Obama administration. Those visits included 118 separate appearances at the White House between January 2010 and December 2011, when the IRS was engaged in targeting tea party and other conservative groups for special scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status.
Shulman's predecessor, Mark Everson, made just one visit to the Bush White House during his four years as IRS commissioner between 2003 and 2007.
An analysis published by The Daily Caller shows that the White House has disclosed 62 visits by Attorney General Eric Holder since Obama took office. Former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, Shulman's superior, made 48 such visits. Hillary Clinton was in the White House 43 times while she was Secretary of State."
