Re: Issa uncovers the smoking gun int he IRS targeting of conservatives

i am just pointing out that no case where a person was held in contempt of congress after pleading the fifth was successfully convicted.


WHY are you pointing it out ?

Seems your'e pretty satisfied in knowing that the Republicans are powerless, even when the evidence shows innocent Americans had their civil rights violated BY THE PRESIDENT AND HIS PARTY.

Not by a group, or activist or a single Liberal. By our GOVERNMENT

Like I said you Libs are ok with this and thats fine. Its what we Conservatives expected.

But dont think for a minute that this is going away. It will be a steady stream of incriminating proof that will define this administrations and the Democrat parties legacy for years to come.

And thats on top of their miserable economic failure.

This is a fine example of the absurdity created by Issa's attempt to charge the Administration with attacking conservative political groups. A year after this whole mess began there is still zero evidence that any conservative groups were penalised despite blatant violations of the tax codes governing non-profit groups.
 
Re: Issa uncovers the smoking gun int he IRS targeting of conservatives

He's "powerful" ??

How ? His power comes from manipulating the dumbest among the electorate and then lying and obfuscating to cover for his incompetence.

There's no power in any of that, just a guarantee of failure.

He is quite clearly manipulating you...as well as the majority of the GOP base.

Seriously what are we doing to gain anything...all effort seems to be directed at damaging them.

We need to stand for SOMETHING....instead of against everything.

woweowowoowozzaaa.....its OVER...

Obama and the Libs is going down...

Ways and Means Committee Refers Lois Lerner to Department of Justice for Criminal Prosecution | House Committee on Ways & Means

Washington, DC – Today, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) announced that the Committee, acting under its authority granted in Sec. 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, voted out a criminal referral letter to Department of Justice (DOJ) Attorney General Eric Holder regarding actions taken by IRS employee Lois Lerner. Chairman Camp, in sending the letter on behalf of the Committee, urged Holder to take a serious review of the evidence uncovered through the Committee’s investigation to determine whether Lerner violated criminal statutes.

The Committee uncovered three specific acts undertaken by Lerner that may have violated one or more criminal statutes documented in the letter:
•Lerner used her position to improperly influence agency action against only conservative organizations, denying these groups due process and equal protection rights under the law. She showed extreme bias and prejudice towards conservative groups. The letter lays out evidence on how Lerner targeted conservative organization Crossroads GPS as well as other right-leaning groups, while turning a blind eye to similarly-organized liberal groups, like Priorities USA.
•Lerner impeded official investigations by providing misleading statements in response to questions from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA).
•Lerner risked exposing, and may actually have disclosed, confidential taxpayer information, in apparent violation of Internal Revenue Code section 6103 by using her personal email to conduct official business.
If convicted of these crimes, Lerner could face up to 11 years in prison.

snip.... MUST READ THE TIMELINE... MUST READ...HIT LINK

It's far from over. Do you really think that Holder is going to investigate? If he does investigate do you really think he's going to find anything?

I have no doubt whatsoever that there was (perhaps still is) targeting based on political ideology but I'm equally certain that nobody will be hooked up for it.

So here is the thing......Issa has lied and has acted like a talk radio host more than a member of Congress.

If I was a betting man, I'd have to say you are correct...so far nothing appears to stick.. now Holder is playing the victim
 
Re: Issa uncovers the smoking gun int he IRS targeting of conservatives

Would kinda explain why Cummings has been trying so hard to make this investigation go away.

No, I'm smart enough to know that when a Woman first ADMITS targeting, and then lies about it being the faut of " rogue agents in Cincinnati" and then takes the 5th 24 Consecutive times that she's trying to hide something.

YOU'RE the one being manipulated.

Willful ignorance motivated by political prejudice is your problem not mine.

Im not falling for it.

The Woman who's plead the 5th 24 times after lying about "rogue agents" is the honest one, right ?

Lol..
 
Re: Issa uncovers the smoking gun int he IRS targeting of conservatives

So Issa wants to eliminate the only person with the ability to call his witch hunt for what it is and the power to do anything about it. Interesting.
 
Re: Issa uncovers the smoking gun int he IRS targeting of conservatives

Cummings attacked true the vote on the word of the most consummate liar in the IRS probe, I$$$A.
Obama should be impeached.
This is how Obama won relection.. this is CRIMINAL... IMPEACH NOW
Please run on this for the next seven months.

The real crime will come out.
The felonious fraud of Reich-wing TEA groups claiming 501c-4 .

There are some majorly retarded leftists on this thread.

The person that was just found to be complicit ?

And finally, a "witchhunt " is persecution, done outside of the legal process.

But keep up the hyperbole and nonsese.

Its the best the left has when it comes to this issue.

When Did Issa " lie " ? And maybe the IRS should PROVE that these 501c groups are committing crimes, instead of targeting them and then lying about it.

Maybe I$$$A is investigating the wrong fraud.
With Cincinnati being a Republican city, you'd think the lying I$$A would want to get it reich .

Really?

IRS agents testified before Congress that the agency’s political targeting did not apply to progressive groups as Democrats and the media have claimed, according to a bombshell new staff report prepared by the House Oversight Committee chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa.

IRS agents testified before Oversight that ACORN groups were scrutinized because the agency thought they were old organizations applying as new ones. Emerge America was scrutinized for potential “improper private benefit.” No evidence exists that the IRS requested additional information from any Occupy Wall Street group.

“Only seven applications in the IRS backlog contained the word ‘progressive,’ all of which were then approved by the IRS, while Tea Party groups received unprecedented review and experienced years-long delays. While some liberal-oriented groups were singled out for scrutiny, evidence shows it was due to non-political reasons,” according to the Oversight staff report, which was obtained by The Daily Caller.
IRS agents’ testimony: NO progressive groups were targeted by IRS

Not so sure about that. Some are of the opinion that this has gone on so long that it's become an inconsequential point in the electorate's consciousness. Maybe.

But this would appear to be a very good explanation as to why Obama and his entire administration, the DOJ most notably, has been stalling and stonewalling every patient inquiry and questioning by the oversight committee all these many months.

While I'm uncertain that the IRS discrimination against conservative groups actually caused Obama to win the second election, I won't discount it out of hand as possibility. If true, this in turn raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of Obama's second term, not that anything would be done about that until after it's over anyway, but still, would put an indelible stain, more so than what already exists, on this president's legacy.
