“At the hearings this morning, Acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller admitted Lerner knew about the question in advance, and that it was planned by the IRS,” reports Legal Insurrection.

Many concluded that the IRS had made the announcement and apology to get out in front of the IG report which was set to drop the next week. It appears that’s exactly what happened, up to and including the IRS staging a question and answer.
