I think the problem is the president set the tone for this. I don't think you'll find anything close coming directly to the president. The time line for when the president started criticizing these groups and when the IRS got involved isn't a coincidence

I think he did more than set the tone. I think he and Valerie Jarrett set it all in place. I believe their intent was to do as much as they could to destroy as much of the R's base as they could, by any means necessary. And that they felt, he being the 1st black President, there would be little to no backlash for it. And to a large degree, they were getting away with it, with the free passes the press have given them.

"The Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests -- including foreign companies -- to spend without limit in our elections. Well I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests, and worse, by foreign entities." Obama State of the Union 2010

It was also terribly inappropriate when he openly encouraged belligerent reaction against the Supreme Court with the Justices sitting in the chamber. It was a cheap shot, and multiple constitutionalists and scholars believe it may have violated the spirit embodied in our government’s commitment to the separation of powers.

He definitely set the tone and I don't think there has to be a smoking gun to link him to the IRS scandal. He stated for the world to see, he did not agree with the decision.
