Breitbart ^

The progressive-leaning investigative journalism group ProPublica says the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) office that targeted and harassed conservative tax-exempt groups during the 2012 election cycle gave the progressive group nine confidential applications of conservative groups whose tax-exempt status was pending.

That’s what I keep wondering—why all of this stuff is just coming out—I suppose it could be a Benghazi smokescreen but with the IRS being the Obamacare police, something tells me all of this IRS stuff is leading up to the repeal of Obamacare...

There are not enough prosecutors available to look into the the Obama Whitehouse.

How long until we hear that a white president wouldn't be scrutinized like this?

It's time for an official Racism pause and ceasefire.

Good guess

My guess is that the CIA is taking him down

From the above link - Stephen Miller - acting head of IRS said TEA PARTY groups were NOT being targeted. That’s NOT his story today... More Obama Administration LIES..

************************************************************

“I wrote to the IRS three times last year after hearing concerns that conservative groups were being targeted,” Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (Utah), the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said in a statement Monday. “In response to the first letter I sent with some of my colleagues, Steven Miller, the current Acting IRS Commissioner, responded that these groups weren’t being targeted.”

"Methinks this isn’t about them wanting to do the right thing"

In all likelihood this group probably figured that investigators would discover the crime so better to fess up now rather then get caught in an investigation.

Interesting questions. Rush notes O never governs - a constant campaign - always someone else but now we want to hold O accountable for what we also argue he did not do.

It is never the single man - it is always the ones he brings to the party that do the worst work.

Bombshell?

Don't hold your breath. Sandy Burglar was caught stealing national security documents by stuffing them in his underwear (several copies of the same documents) to cover for Bill Clinton during the 9/11 investigation.

It was deemed a "sloppy accidental mistake" and he was reprimanded.

I’ve noticed for years that democrats working in government offices with access to sensitive information have no problem getting information on enemies and using that information against them.
Joe the Plumber.

And they are NEVER prosecuted for their crimes.

Any thoughts on why they would reveal this? Seems kind of stupid and self defeating.

It's time to pick sides on this one. If they thought they were eventually going to get dragged into it. Give something up quickly. This way, they might be able to hide the fact that they were actively collaborating with the IRS to get Conservative Groups denied Tax Exempt Status.

or Mark Levin

I really think it is time for one. There is just so much stuff going on that a dedicated team needs to take over.

But they were more than happy to take the documents during the election. Too little, too late.

Charge 0bama with 'Abuse of power', making his 2012 re-election NULL AND VOID.

Usually leftists are “all in” on anything that advances their agenda and their power.

They are loyal to themselves and their own power. In their world, being part of the social collective that has power encourages loyalty. When the power of the collective is in jeopardy, it's every man/woman for themselves.

The collective is threatened. They are picking sides to avoid further scrutiny.

Bingo. This is CYA move on their part. They know it will come out so they’re copping to it to lessen any repercussions they might suffer from it.
