On Tuesday, liberal bloggers Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo and Ezra Klein of the Washington Post attended a private meeting at the White House:

Spotted: @joshtpm @capehartj @ezraklein & other lefty columnists headed into the West Wing as a group. POTUS coffee? Carney meeting? Anyone?

I have not done anything wrong.
I have not broken any laws.
I have not violated any IRS rules and regulations and I have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee.
I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.

Oh wait...

Because they need the trail to stop at Lerner ... period.

Bingo. And while it's obvious from Ms. Lerner's past actions that she hates Christians/conservatives, I wonder if she loves Obama enough to do 4 to 7 in prison? Time will tell.

The IRS scandals are bad anad need to be [rosecuted.

But the Dems were out of character yesterday in their faux outrage.

They were either concerned for re-election, or the IRS is a “sideshow”, red meat to the dogs as it were, in order to distract from the REAL scandal, which is Benghazi.

Keep your eye on the prize—the answer to the question—where was Barack Obama the night of Sept. 11, 2012 and what was he doing?

We had a dereliction of duty across the top of the chain of command, and I do mean “top”,that is not forgiveable.

The IRS scandals almost seem like a backfire being set to distract from the real issue that could end his Presidency.

Marching orders: ignore amnesty, u.n. Weapons agreement... Focus on scandals (that will end up blowing over)

Too obvious. She’ll have a “Hitlery incident” of falling, hitting her head, wearing weird glasses, and a football helmet. Can’t remember a thing. “My brain’s in a blender; it’s Jell-O, Jell-O, Jell-O”. LOL.

IBD editorial today states that there were at least 6 agents from 3 different departments with 3 different managers,

which means that those managers received direction from higher up,

which means that the directive came from at least 2 levels higher than the officers that have been fingered.

Plus, add in the combined efforts of OSHA, the FBI, BATFE, to harass people applying for tax exempt status and you get a directive from the top of the executive.

Acvtually, it was six different agents...with six different managers...and six different territory managers.

The very purpose of the highly vertical organizational structure being to avoid "rogue" operations by7 individual agents...
