“Lew, Carney and Obama himself act like people worried about a threat lying a little farther under investigators’ shovels. And they should be considering the suspicious timeline of Obama-appointed IRS chief counsel William Wilkins visiting the president on April 23 last year; IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman visiting the White House the next day; and Wilkins’ office sending the IRS “guidance” on the Tea Party the day after that. . . . If we find our tax-collection agency helped re-elect a president under political orders, Watergate could look trivial by comparison.”
Embattled Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner and an attorney in the Federal Election Commission’s general counsel’s office appear to have twice colluded to influence the record before the FEC’s vote in the case of a conservative non-profit organization, according to e-mails unearthed by the House Ways and Means Committee and obtained exclusively by National Review Online.
I have absolutely no problem believing a Democratic president would have the IRS target right-wing interests.
Where I probably differ from many here is that I also have no problem believing a Republican president would use, and probably have used, the exact same sleazy tactics.
We all know that there must have been a link to Obama somewhere in the chain, we can only hope it will come out sooner then later.
This will all die off with no one getting convicted,
fined or fired. What are the latest developments in the
Fast & Furious scandal? Not much. Issa is investigating
everything and nothing. Congress is taking the month off,
which will dilute these investigations, as the apathetic
electorate has a short memory and the Congressional
vacation will free up those who occasionally watched
the investigations to go back to the latest exploits
of the Kardashians and Kim’s new baby.
Had a comment, got deleted.
Hey, go captha yourself!
Yeah well, I doubt that premise.
Yeah the Republicans may consider that but the IRS bureaucracy, like the media is so leftist, that the Republicans would be commiting political suicide….and they know it.
Obama could be shown issuing orders than taking a hand in killing thousands of Americans. Nothing would happen. Except the people taking pictures would be jailed.
