you are probably not aware, thru no real fault of yours, there being so much of such heavy significance flying thru the air these days...
but what i'm going to tell you here is in itself a bombshell, i learned about it last nite (i'll find you that link too, bear with me)
evil darrell issa learned yesterday from interviewing one holly paz (remember that name) that
independent of the tigta, inspector general report, the irs in may of 2012---one year ago---concluded an independent internal review that found "significant problems in the review process and a substantial bias against conservative groups"
Internal IRS probe cited same problems with approach to conservative groups in May 2012 - WaPo
what's more, another nancy j marks (senior technical adviser at irs) on may 3, 2012, gave a "presentation" to commissioner steven miller, laying out in full ms marks' findings of "significant problems" and "substantial bias"
mr miller has lied to congress ever since, he's still lying today, and it's really quite remarkable that no one in the cummings caucus, none in the carney crowd, even try to deny it
how can you defend this stuff?
Tempers flared in a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing Wednesday, with members on both sides of the aisle castigating the Internal Revenue Service for targeting conservative groups with special scrutiny, and then hiding the practice from Congress.
Rep. Darrel Issa, the committee's chairman, said that the committee learned just yesterday that the IRS completed its own investigation a year before a Treasury Department Inspector General report was completed.
But despite the IRS recognizing in May 2012 that its employees were treating right-wing groups differently from other organizations, Issa said, IRS personnel withheld those conclusions from legislators.
'Just yesterday the committee interviewed Holly Paz, the director of exempt organizations, rulings and agreements, division of the IRS,' Issa said. 'While a tremendous amount of attention is centered about the Inspector General's report, or investigation, the committee has learned from Ms. Paz that she in fact participated in an IRS internal investigation that concluded in May of 2012 - May 3 of 2012 - and found essentially the same thing that Mr. George found more than a year later.'

another bomb in the mail:
Issa then asked if [Lerner] would answer questions about her previous testimony before Congress.
'I decline to answer that question, for reasons I have already given.'
congressman lynch, blue collar south boston (many of his constituents were badly injured by the tsarnaevs last month) went off on the irs office manager who's not good at math:
"if you refuse to answer you will leave us no choice but to ask for a special prosecutor to get to the bottom of this"
in which case, the congressman continued, "there will be hell to pay"
lynch turned to former commissioner shulman who "adamantly denied" any targeting in sworn testimony in ways and means last year: "you misled congress, make no question about it"
"you did nothing, you abdicated your responsibility
bottom line---holly paz, acting director of ruling and agreements, informed evil darrell issa---for the first time, monday---that separate from tigta, the irs conducted its own investigation... SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE ELECTION
at the other end of the fish, the head: why can't barack hussein obama say when he first learned, why does he still insist he read it in the paper?
how could barack obama's chief of staff know while the president remains ignorant?
why DID obama's irs go after the very people the president most despises?
