BREAKING: New Emails Show Lois Lerner Was in Contact With DOJ......

I might add, Lerner was asked by Issa if she would like to make an opening statement.

And she should have said no if she was not willing to answer any and all questions.
 
Like Oliver North, or Harriett Miers, or Josh Bolton?

Thank you for the reminder. I remember the left melting down when Miers and Rove refused to testify. The screaming was loud then.

What happened? Different rules for Miers and Rove than for Obama's people?

00:42:13 Issa, Darrell - U.S. Representative, [R] California
MAJORITY OF THE TIME. AND THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE IRS ARE HARD WORKING, HONEST, PUBLIC SERVANTS. WHILE THE INSPECTOR

His exact quote is "Ms. Lerner, do you wish to make an opening statement?"

No, his exact quote was "Miss Lerner, I note that you did not provide a written testimony for the committee. Do you wish to make an opening statement?"

So what's your point?

Was he supposed to say "Hey babe, you pleading the Fifth today"?
 
what a beautiful day for an auto-da-fè...
 
Wait, she asks DOJ if they should prosecute groups for lying to get tax exempt status, and that is the smoking gun? I must be missing something.


Breaking News !!

Lois Lerner admits to the illegal targeting of CONSERVATIVE groups !! She also stated that her orders came directly from the White House.

Mak2: " So, what does that prove ?. Am I missing something here ? "

LOL !! The evidence just keeps stacking up and the Libs are in desperation mode.

You know this issue scares the s*** out of them. They flock to these threads with new levels of mitigation unseen before.

Face it ! You people are BUSTED !
 
Desperation mode? Really? What about the Easter Eggs? Come on man, you guys come up with new "proof" pretty much every day.

Oh absolutely.

You people have been trying to mitigate away this obvious and substantial corruption since Lois Lerner first ADMITTED to targeting Conservative groups and then LIED and tried to pass it off on some nameless faceless rogue agents.

Heyx we're still waiting for those "rogue agents to be punished for their crimes.

You people must be real easy to sell used cars too, thats all I can say.

Hey its either that, or you are knowingly trying to cover for these sub-human scum.

I was referring to conservatives in general, just as you were referring to liberals in general.

"Oh" you still looking for the hard boiled Mak and going on about this.....what Lerner's own words that come out of her mouth wasn't good enough. Then her denial that such even took place.

Cmon now.....no need to try play like SHAM-WOW. :shock:


Just a few short days later on May 10, 2013, Lerner admitted and apologized for the inappropriate targeting of conservative tea party groups during an American Bar Association Conference after answering a planted question. Further according to Judicial Watch, "In an email to an aide responding to a request for information from a Washington Post reporter, Lerner admits that she “can’t confirm that there was anyone on the other side of the political spectrum” who had been targeted by the IRS. She then adds that “The one with the names used were only know [sic] because they have been very loud in the press.”

In other words, only conservative groups were being looked at for criminal prosecution.....snip~


Looks like they didn't boil the eggs enough.....huh? Left them short and runny. But let me guess.....you actually thought Democrats knew how to boil water without burning the pan.....Right? :roll:
 
Whoa mama.

Yeah Bubba.....you said it. Let not forget Obama getting rid of the AG who was investigating his Buddy Kevin Johnson too. You know the Mayor of Sacramento at the time.


On April 9, 2013 during a Senate Judiciary Hearing, just one month before the targeting scandal broke, Whitehouse asked witnesses from DOJ and the IRS why groups that had possibly "made false statements" about their political activities had not been prosecuted. On March 27, 2013, just days before the hearing took place, Lerner described the purpose for the hearing to IRS staff in an email.

"As I mentioned yesterday -- there are several groups of folks from the FEC world that are pushing tax fraud prosecution for c4s who report they are not conducting political activity when they are (or these folks think they are). One is my ex-boss Larry Noble (former General Counsel at the FEC), who is now president of Americans for Campaign Reform. This is their latest push to shut these down. One IRS prosecution would make an impact and they wouldn't feel so comfortable doing the stuff," she wrote. "So, don't be fooled about how this is being articulated – it is ALL about 501(c)(4) orgs and political activity."

Lerner later acknowledged pursuing prosecutions of these groups would not fit well with the law.....snip~
 
If she, the DoJ, and Obama didn't do anything wrong, why the need to plead the fifth? What's she running from?
 
Tell me, what posts did I make in 2008 when that was happening?

Considering I didn't join here until 2012, the obvious answer is "none".

So not "rite back" at me on anything.

Try again?

Since you had no issue with painting the left with a broad brush, why should this bother you?

Can you read? I wasn't posting here in 2008 so there is no "ritebackatcha".

Did the left melt down when those 2 refused to testify? Yes they did. Google it. I stated a fact.

:doh

You get pissed when the right gets painted with a broad brush. Yet you have no issues with painting the left with a broad brush.
I can read just fine, thank you very much.

But don't you realize M.G., that it's just tit for tat, so it's all just fine.

Speaking of tit for tat, though, I did want to say that I very much enjoyed our visit the other day when you came over to admire my new ink.

No you can't, because I didn't post here in 2008, so I have no idea what anyone posted here then.

I'm not pissed at all. If I was pissed, you'd know it.;)

All I remember was the left howling like scorched cats about Miers and Rove. And I can prove that.
