Issa called on a Treasury watchdog already looking into the IRS to investigate the matter, and signaled he would expand his committee's probe into improper targeting of political groups given the new revelations.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the ranking member on Issa's panel, accused the chairman of pushing a "political narrative" by picking choice quotes and disregarding contrary evidence.

And everyone knows that Democrats would NEVER be political, right?

Oh wait a minute...that's what this is all about, isn't it...

So when do we get to re-vote the election of 2012? I fail to see how this election was valid.

Of course they were! So their tax-exempt status could be rescinded or suspended and money to conservative groups would dry up. Insidious! They pulled all the stops.

The IRS is bigger than Germany’s and Canada’s armies
and probably armed to murder Americans by the thousands
by bullets and DeathCARE, even stripping them of their
organs, need it be necessary to preserve someone
in Congress or their Staff.

Let’s see Rep. Cummings drudge up any progressive tax exempt groups that received similar treatment.

Just shut the son-of-a-bitch down already!

It has been MORE than proven that this rogue agency is full of criminals and can’t be trusted with ANY information.
