Democrat Baucus warns: More to come out on IRS scandal
Washington Examiner ^ | Friday May 17, 2013

Posted on 05/17/2013 6:56:26 AM PDT by Bigtigermike

Senior Democratic Sen. Max Baucus, who recently slapped Obamacare as a "train wreck," believes that the IRS scandal is just beginning and that "a lot more" damaging information will be revealed, likely at congressional hearings.

"I have a hunch that a lot more is going to come out, frankly," Baucus, whose pending retirement seems to have freed him up to speak bluntly, told Bloomberg Government's " Capitol Gains " TV show.

"It's broader than the current focus. And I think it's important that we have the hearings, and I think that will encourage other information to come out that has not yet come out. I suspect that we will learn more in the next several days, maybe the next couple three weeks which adds more context to all of this," added Baucus, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.

Sounds like Baucus knows a very great deal.
This is going to be a very interesting summer.

Well, he ought to know since he was one of the Senate Rats who tasked the IRS to go after the TEA Party...

Look no further than John Roberts. I can almost guarantee you that Obama had IRS information on him, and used it to blackmail him into approving Obamascare.

You wonder how these people can look at themselves in the mirror.

Is this the same Max Baucus who called for the IRS to investigate tax exempt political groups?!

Why yes it is.

That sounds about right and Reid the rat saying he knows what’s on Romney’s. If he had any balls he would say to the media - ‘now all this makes sense why Reid would bring up my return.’ Have no mercy for these evil b**tards!

It's easy when you don't cast a reflection.

But a House leader, Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, said the scandal hasn't reached the level where a special prosecutor is warranted.

Yeah, maybe he doesn’t want to go out as a complete stinker. He does need to be able to look some people in the eye unless he’s leaving Montana. So, maybe we can use this, particularly since he was hanging with Franken to abuse the Tea Party.

I suspect it will be revealed that there was a much more direct and dynamic connection between the IRS and the DNC. There will be shocking links.

Watergate will soon be a minor event compared to this. Think of the "Boss" Tweed scandal if circa 1867-1871 in New York City but on a national scale.

I agree.

I wonder how Joe the Plumber works into this mess.

If you recall, Joe the Plumber was from Ohio. Shortly after asking Obama some great questions (in 2008), his confidential records were searched illegally and some released to the public.
