Yeah, This IS Getting Interesting
Remember that IRS scandal? You know, where the IRS was blatantly playing politics with nonprofit group applications for tax-exempt status – slow-rolling those from conservative groups, and fast-tracking those from liberal groups?
Remember how that was supposed to be “IRS only”, with no involvement from the White House?
Well, in response to a suit filed by Cause of Action (a government transparency watchdog group), the Treasury Department IG has apparently located a few relevant documents. Those documents apparently show that, “Yes, Viirginia – taxpayer info was sent to the White House by the IRS.”
How many documents, you ask? Don’t worry; only a handful.
Handful, as in around 2,500.
This is in addition to the 30,000 “lost” emails to/from Lois Lerner, former head of the IRS Tax-Exempt Division and key player in the scandal, that have recently been discovered. Maybe now we’ll find out why she “pleaded the Fifth” when subpoenaed to testify before Congress.
Stay tuned. This does seem to be getting quite interesting. It’s probably also getting quite uncomfortable for a number of folks in the current Administration, too. And that last . . . is a good thing. (smile)
But I do have to wonder why all of this is coming to light right after the election this month – as opposed to before.
Nah, I’m kidding. I don’t wonder much at all about the reason behind the timing.

It’s been apparent from the start that the current administration is about THE filthiest in US History, and the liberal media has been its lapdog from day one. I just wonder if the new GOP Majority is going to have the balls and spine to do anything, or will they just slither off and cower while Boehner bawls whenever he’s not kissing b. Hussein 0bama’s ass like there’s no tomorrow?
Negative, Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.
“It’s probably also getting quite uncomfortable for a number of folks in the current Administration, too.”
Nahhh. Any inner circle, hardcore member of the GruberCheat Party? Uncomfortable? They have no shame or morals to feel uncomfortable over. If they get caught in a lie or scandal, it’s just considered a momentary, temporary setback to their long range goal of Total Socialist Planning Gubbment Takeover of Teh World.
I’m convinced that the only way to make a Socialist “feel” uncomfortable is to hang them, and all their Fellow Travelers, while simultaneously repealing 90% of all laws, regulations, and executive orders passed since 1910. And to a Socialist, I’m not sure which would “feel” worse to them. Being hung, or seeing all their beautiful (/snark) work and agenda undone before their eyes.
“They have no shame or morals to feel uncomfortable over”
That would be my take, also.
Republicans better step up. I think the taxpayers are tired of cowards and susie talks-a-lot dolls that currently inhabit DC and want some action.
As far as them getting nervous, well, their “king” is from Chicago after all. A town as dirty and corrupt as DC that doesn’t care about its own citizens one bit either.
Lois Lerner might be sweating now because she knows the fact that since there is evidence to her lies and crimes, Barry is very well going to throw her to the wolves because she’s not worth the fight. Or, like Billary did, he’ll just throw out some pardons and everyone will say “aw darnit, they got pardoned, oh well…”
Because God hates me, I recently had to review the 65 or so page statutory provision on how “return information” is suppose to be protected. This could get very interesting.
In the end I think historians will find that this current administration is even more corrupt than the Nixon administration. Probably even the most corrupt and inept and partisan the nation has ever seen.
Interesting observation.
Yeah… No shit hey…
I’m sure that B. Hussein 0bama & Company make the Nixon Administration look like an altar boys’ choir when compared!!!
ATC, I have to agree.
The problem is that you’ll never see it in a textbook as long as the Department of Education exists.
Nixon was a nothing like Obama. Try comparing Wilson, or LBJ.
The word out there is that Boehner worked out a deal with o for him to NOT push the amnesty program before the election so fewer conservatives would get elected to the House and Senate.
It would not surprise me to hear that the rumor is true as Boehner will sell all of us down the river so he can maintain a “working relationship with o.
Boehner has to go as speaker, he is as useless as a teat on a boar hog…
Boehner also pulls everything to the left so the Chamber of Commerce people can get their cheap illegal immigrant labor and drive more Americans out of the job force.
I am so sick of these asses I cannot tell you how much I hate them…
Notice, too, that the administration pukes are asking for two weeks additional time to “review” the 2500 documents. Review my ass! If the court grants their request, they’ll use that two weeks to redact and/or destroy the most incriminating of those documents.
The reason that this administration has been so successful in corrupting the executive branch is that they recognized that if they had an equally corrupt, rubber stamp attorney general and a compliant press, they could get away with damned near any criminal behavior.
The only check on them in that situation is a vigilant congress which in this case they were able to corrupt as well through the hard-line leadership of Reid and Pelosi.
You almost have to admire how carefully they got all their ducks in a row so that they could “fundamentally transform” America. And never forget that Chicongo has long been the traditional hotbed of communism in America.
It was almost a perfect storm of political corruption and might have been much more successful had it not been for the vigilance of some conservative organizations that the RINO’s like to contemptuously label as right-wing. Well, this nation owes a huge debt to those right-wingers and I can say that I’m proud to consider myself one of them.

When did Washington, DC loose sight of that?

As I’ve stated before, IMO, Obama is a pure political animal, and political animals see everything through a political lens. Their only concern appears to be winning the next election and keeping “their” guys in power/office.
On the surface, this could just be another example of “whatever floats your boat” but, these types seem to either not see, or not care, about the long term damage their actions cause to the faith and trust of the American people in the fundamental institutions upon which the Republic rests.
The last six years has seen scandal after scandal being swept under the rug, but more and more, it’s looking like ” … a long train of abuses and usurpations … “
