Don’t these underlings know they should willingly commit hari-kari for the Emperor?

Yet another WHOOPER told by THE FOREIGNER. This using the IRS like an attack dog on a leash to support and enforce his WARPED COMMUNIST IDEOLOGY will be what brings down THE FOREIGNER. Without a doubt THE MOST CORRUPT REGIME in the history of U.S. politics and will make NIXON and CLINTON look like quire boys when the dust settles.

" 300 applications got improperly obstructed " ~ your first clue ~ someone thinks there's a way to 'improperly obstruct' which means there's also a way to 'properly obstruct'.

In IG speak that means the IG has already looked at the details in the process and found that normal delays do not account for what his investigators found.

That means this goes upstairs to higher levels of management ~

Let this be a lesson. It’s better if you tell your boss that you’re NOT going to do what he asks because it’s WRONG. If he fires you, you sue his a$$ off.

It might be wise for Ms. Lerner to start putting resumes out, doesn’t sound like the underlings are going to fall on their swords.

Listen to the tape. These guys say their sources told them two Cincinnati IRS agents have been subpoenaed to testify before Congress on Monday and they are saying they just followed orders from higher up.

You have obviously never tried suing a government agency.

Well then, if it was "just two low-level employees", why should Miller have to resign? If he should, why shouldn't Holder have to resign over F&F?

What will Miller resigning actually accomplish? It doesn't even make it look like Obama is doing anything about the problem. Will the "news" media sit by, accept the "resignation" and go back to cooing at Zero?

So.... they are saying they are just as guilty as their bosses.

The letters have now been found to come from a lot of other states, so it was not confined to one city, or state, for that matter! These guys really do think we’re all dumb. I know they count on their own constituency being so, but I think they think that because we might listen to Rush, Levin, Hannity, or Beck, that we are dumber! HAHAHA!

True, but it puts the lie to the claim this was all done by two “rogue” agents.

A very, very salient point from the article:

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) official who apologized for targeting conservative nonprofit groups for extra scrutiny is married to an attorney whose firm hosted a voter registration organizing event for the 2012 Obama re-election campaign, praised President Obama’s policy work, and had one of its partners appointed by Obama to a key ambassadorship.

IRS Exempt Organizations Division director Lois G. Lerner, who has been described as “apolitical” in mainstream press coverage of the IRS scandal, is married to tax attorney Michael R. Miles, a partner at the law firm Sutherland Asbill & Brennan. The firm is based in Atlanta but has a number of offices including in Washington, D.C., where Miles works.

The 400-attorney firm hosted an organizing meeting at its Atlanta office for people interested in helping with voter registration for the Obama re-election campaign.

Anyone else see Zero's presser and his answer to the IRS IG report? He was asked if he knew for certain that no one in the WH knew what the IRS "rogue agents" were doing, and Zero responds with an answer to the IG report (after saying, "Let me be specific on this question [paraphrase]").

FNC hammered Zero on this, even the poofter Shemp Smith!

Obama has to be running scared over this. Fewer of his underlings are willing to fall on their swords for him. There’s no more room under the bus.

Turn the screws until they finger who told them to do it.

Rinse.

Repeat until Obama.
