A House committee report claims Lois Lerner, who oversaw the Internal Revenue Service’s scrutiny of tea party groups seeking tax-exempt status, lied to Congress about her involvement in the targeting scandal.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released a report Tuesday concluding that Lerner “created unprecedented roadblocks for Tea Party organizations” and “worked surreptitiously to advance new Obama administration regulations that curtail the activities of existing 501(c)(4) organizations.” […]
The emails paint a picture of IRS officials being aware of the potential political consequences of their actions and the increasing attention on the issue. On several occasions, Lerner received emails from colleagues that focused on the political involvement of tax-exempt conservative groups.
In March 2012, IRS Deputy Division Counsel Janine Cook sent an article to Lerner that discussed the potential congressional investigations and the IRS’s treatment of tax-exempt applicants. Lerner responded by writing: “we’re going to get creamed.” …

As if that wasn't obvious; just look at the lack of fight on anything recently: NSA, Fast & Furious, Benghazi, and so on.
They think that they own you and your vote and so don't have to do anything to earn it.
I look forward to them being knocked on their ass.
LL needs to go to prison for years.

Nobody in the GOP has filed charges against the kenyan because there are members of their own party ready and willing to back stab them immediately.
Conservatives get a frontal assault from the Dems, attacked from the rear by “Republicans” and the flank by the MSM. Custer had it easier at LBH.
The thing is, we're getting a different kind of "historic" than we thought.

It's the unspoken follow-on to that statement that reveals the truth.
"Not a smidgen of corruption, but a whole trainload."
