Bohner who will go to jail in IRS case

This has been going on for some time (Emmanuel was chief of staff not long ago), and I don't trust a single cohort of Obama's, from those I mentioned to all his minions and appointees, to his social network of Ayers, Rezno, Blagoyevich, Neman, Dupree, etc., and of course, the pillar of the community, Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

Most corrupt lot of malcontents and criminals to ever sit in the White House.

Absolutely none of the states how any of the people you mentioned could have been involved in this IRS-Tea Party scandal.

I agree, with a few exceptions. The buck stops wherever it stops. Used to be with the guy in charge, in the end. Maybe not so much this time around. All this impeachment talk is counterproductive. Consider the consequences. The "crying wolf" thing would be true, except that it now appears there is a wolf. I do remember that during the Clinton administration, nearly everything was under investigation by Janet Reno, thereby giving Clinton leave to not make comment on much of anything carrying even a faint whisper of scandal. I look for the same here.

investigation powers are under the purview of the house... in particularly now.. under rep. Issa. under Clinton, it was a GOP house summoning special prosecutor Ken Starr to investigate everything.

if Obama himself specifically called for only rightwing groups to be investigated, I'd support impeachment.

what if he knew about it but looked the other way?

probably just a reprimand. he'd need to have actively facilitated it somehow.
 
I think if you are the boss and you tolerate some misdeed, then you are equally quitly. But I can see your opinino too.

if it were pulled off by an underling and he used his executive powers to clear a path for it to happen... that would be impeachable IMO.

Obama = The Most Ignorant President in History?

He never knows anything about anything apparently. He's just some dumb sock puppet, trotting around the globe playing golf on the taxpayer dime.

Never governs. Doesn't know a damn thing right? Obama is the most clueless moron ever to sit in the oval office. Everyone around him is engaging in all these major scandals right under his nose and supervision and he's too stupid to notice any of it? Yea ok.

And the left calls Obama the smartest person who ever occupied the WH. And he knows nothing.
Then they called Bush the dumbest but he was able to pull the wool of the democrats eyes about WMD. pretty good for some one so dumb

Do you really want the President to exert that kind of oversight on the IRS?
 
No, not at all. But if he did know and allowed it, he is equally guilty because he could have stopped it when he learned of it. At that point he would merely be responsible for the misdeed of those down the chain. That would apply to any structure that one had control in.

Absolutly. But there's no reason to suspect that he knew anything.
 
I dont think so either, it would be too stupid. I really think it was a few low level dummies. But I think whoever it is should be throughly punished.

Way to go Boner, I have been wondering this myself. These people in the IRS have messed with the underlying trust we are supposed to have in the IRS and using the dept for political purposes should get you jail time. Not only that but if threatened with incarceration tongues would loosen up and we might find out how high up this goes.


"Speaking about the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative political groups, House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday said "clearly someone violated the law" and questioned who would be put in prison for the agency's actions. "My question isn't about who's going to resign, my question is, who is going to jail?" Boehner said at a press briefing with Republican leaders. President Barack Obama on Tuesday night said some IRS employees failed to be impartial in their work and that they must be held accountable."

Boehner will go to jail for his complicity with the Bush's administration use of the IRS to investigate Greenpeace and the NAACP.

Don't you find troubling how often this President and those who answer to him--example, AG Holder--somehow don't know what's going on?

If this goes higher, deals will be struck with the underlings. You know your boy is behind this in some way, whether its through Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, Eric Holder....somebody.

There's so damn much smoke around this administration, it's hard to see all the fires.

I will believe that when there is evidence of that.

Deuce, I must respectfully disagree. There IS a lot of smoke around "this administration". It does not however come from any attempt at hiding stuff by the Administration, rather it comes from the arsonists lolling about in the House of Representatives who apparently never learned how to actually start a fire when they were in the Boy Scouts. It seems to come from a lack of knowledge about the combustibility of the items they are trying to set alight. Stuff don't burn but it does give off a lot of smoke when ignition is attempted - so they start to scream about the huge fires that are starting up when really all they have is a bunch of smoke that does little more than draw attention to their foolishness.

So, Eric Holder is out of the picture? I don't think so. He already said he has no knowledge nor participation in the phone taps. That was somebody else, and the IRS escapade is under investigation. So, in my humble opinion, the investigative powers of the Federal Government trump those of the House. The House, you see, is purely reactive. The Justice Department has the luxury of being proactive. There's a huge difference. You see that, don't you?

I apologize for that last comment. I'm certain you do see that.
