IRS Ignores Senate Deadline to Answer Questions About Scandal
Breitbart News ^ | 5/31/2013 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 05/31/2013 4:17:50 PM PDT by ncfool

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) declined Friday afternoon to meet a Senate Finance Committee deadline for answering detailed questions about the origins of the IRS scandal. The questions had been submitted jointly nearly two weeks ago by Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) and Ranking Member Orrin Hatch (R-UT).

In a joint statement to Breitbart News, Baucus and Hatch said:

“It’s disappointing that the IRS failed to produce any of the documents requested by the Committee.

"This is an agency that revolves around making the American taxpayer meet hard deadlines each and every year when they file their taxes, oftentimes penalizing those that are late.

“The IRS needs to do much better.”

Should be interesting to see where this contempt situation goes. Its seems the IRS does not want to comply with the request of the Senate. Will this start the snowball rolling up hill to the White House. Is everybody in the whole government contemptible?

We have become the slave to our government. America as we knew it is dead.

Sunday news shows should be interesting.

Welcome to Darrell Issa's world, gentlemen.

It’s called a “subpoena”. Start issuing them by the bushel basket full.

There should be a consequence :
#1 ) audit the IRS
#2 ) defund the IRS

I would hope that the Subpoena comes Monday. Can the Senate or House issue?

What? You expected this DemoRat led IRS to obey the laws like regular people who they persecute and prosecute for not following the law?

Come on folks! This is the CHICAGO WAY! Screw the Constitution, rules of Congress, and the American people (the latter they do on a daily basis).

IRS = Infernal Rectum Service

Sorry, but nothing is going to come of this; just like nothing will come of Benghazi. The IRS, along with our corrupt preezy are laughing their a$$es off. They have no intention of answering any of Congresses questions. The Republicans will certainly not be pushing this.

Then shut it down.

Any branch that refuse to account no longer has a place or function within a free country.

Shut it down right now.

Disgusting. IF it would do any good, everyone should file new W4’s claiming 99 dependents . . . but of course we’d get in trouble for that.

The dems will get wise soon. They’ll begin to see that if this is allowed, it will soon come against them.

Audit and harass dem contributors. Hell, put ‘em in jail for being a terrorist. Seize Warren Buffet’s assets. Arrest Soros for ... anything.

See, what comes around goes around in this regard. If this is swept under the rug, it will return against the dems - only worse. Much worse.

‘“The IRS needs to do much better.”’

Ouch. That’s gonna leave a mark.

I was so angry last week I emailed Mo Brooks, Congresscritter and Senators Shelby and Sessions, I did receive mailed replies from both Senators.

I want some action. I want some heads to roll. I also want some serious jail cell time for multiple employees of the IRS.

I feel we are losing this battle. The GOP doesn’t care and as sure as I have a pulse, the Dems don’t care.

It won’t come against them. Career IRS employees are liberal leftists who will reveal such abuse as soon as it is proposed. Conservatives are fair game.

No worries here; with Rubio pushing his “Gang of Eight Amnesty Plan”, The Dems should be in total control of the Government for about...100 YEARS!

Freeze these people’s assets, take their homes and cars, put ‘em in jail, and keep them there until they talk.
