A lawyer for Tea Party groups targeted by the IRS says his clients haven't even been contacted by the FBI, which is supposed to be investigating the matter. This development comes after former FBI Director Robert Mueller told lawmakers he didn't know who the lead investigator was in the probe.

[mandaladon]

That's exactly what I see

[ConservativeMan55]

Yep.

[TADSLOS]

Flooding the zone is an Obama specialty.

[Timber Rattler]

He said they claim to be investigating so when they are asked about the scandal, they can "deflect any questions" by saying that you can't comment during an ongoing investigation.

They've been doing this from the start, beginning with Fast & Furious.

[dowcaet]

It also helps to have a protective media and an incompetent opposition party. If the president were a Republican, well you can fill in the rest.

[DeFault User]

And the ever popular:

THAT'S OLD NEWS! --or--WHO CARES?

[Zarro]

Exactly.

They fawned over his latest speech about climate change and new sources of energy. I didn't see a one mention Solyndra. That was sure a great deal for our country's citizens.

I am considering "kicking in" a bit for the Truth in Media project. It has been a source of frustration for me that the media covers for this government on a daily basis. I don't know if we can break their hold, but I can hold out hope...

Ben Swann's Truth in Media

Impossible without a complicit media

Impossible without a supine Republican Party.

An endless stream of Congressional subpoenas followed with relentless questioning by the likes of Trey Gowdy will unearth all sorts of unintentional admissions.

And Mr. Mueller of the Federal Bureau of "Investigations" can start telling the truth instead of pulling the old guy amnesia act that Rufus the Rapist usually pulls on Judge HanginTree in South Succotash Mississippi.

demo'rats: nothin' there

Minority leader of the House, Majority leader of the Senate, talking head pundits, television news, print media, popular media, university based 'experts'... "SAME PAGE"

[DAC21]

Maybe Issa should just proceed to subpoena Baby DocBama and let all the world to see as he ummms and ahhhs his way to taking the 5th.

[EBH]

And this is why we need to our own set of freakin’ balls ...

[PapaNew]

Socialism/collectivism is a point of view that devalues the individual. Obama, as a Socialist/collectivist, in line with that way of thinking, figures people are stupid, don't deserve the time of day, and knows the MSM is on his side, so he basically waits it out. He know if he waits long enough, it will blow over. One thing Obama does NOT do is shoot himself in the foot.

No drama Obama.

[Alex Murphy]

He said they claim to be investigating so when they are asked about the scandal, they can "deflect any questions" by saying that you can't comment during an ongoing investigation.

"You do nothing about it and then you wait. You let other news and scandals overtake ityou count on the press to say nothing and then it dies in time," said Krauthammer, slamming the mainstream media for having "no backbone."

He said the administration has done the same thing when it comes to the Benghazi attack, the James Rosen warrant, and the IRS scandal.

Ping for later

A hearty, robust “AMEN!” to that. - screen name.

"Impossible without a complicit media - tagline."

And Congress..

Speaking about Obama’s energy speech. I posted a link to an article from a Canadian publication, Maclean’s that parsed the language in the speech. As a matter of fact that might have been the title of the article. The article broke down the speech to show how Obama used vague terms and statements that would appease the enviro supporters, while accomplishing nothing, phrases like, if it can be proven.

Obama uses the same tactics with almost every issue, delay and deny ( both services and responsibility).

He said the administration has done the same thing when it comes to the Benghazi attack,

Sending the FBI to Libya is no different than sending a County Sheriff to China. Zippy and his Holder are complete idiots.

[Venturer]

Why not???????

It works.

It has been working for almost 5 years now, why ruin a good thing.

Nothing will be done.
