In a remarkable admission that is likely to rock the Internal Revenue Service again, testimony released Thursday by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp reveals that an agent involved in reviewing tax exempt applications from conservative groups told a committee investigator that the agency is still targeting Tea Party groups, three months after the IRS scandal erupted..

This is what happens when you have endless “investigations” and requests for emails and other BS and nobody is arrested for almost a freaking year. What happened to Boehner bloviating and blathering he wanted to know who was going to jail?!?! They’re all freaking WORTHLESS. AND CRIMINAL.
Yea, it rocked them so much the first time that they didn't even bother to stop their illegal activities.
And the old Crackuh John Boehner and his henchmen are aiding and abetting the subversion of the US government. Oh the irony.
Forgot the sarc tag.
This is the kind of government arrogance and wide spread govenrment corruption millions are talking about.
They have no reason to stop. Government at all levels has become a controlling, ruling class oligarchy/dictatorship.
Too bad everyone at once can’t go on a tax strike for a quarter, see how much fun they have when they find they aren’t getting any bonuses. Hey come on, as we have seen with illegals if everybody does it it’s OK. Why the government will even give us amnesty!
We don't. Just like every other portion of the constitution, it's been trampled. There no longer is a separation of powers.
And we sit and chat about it....yet again. These SOB’s.
I disagree. Gross abuse of power weakens the country. It should be met with the harshest penalties.
Exactly! And don't the progressives tell us we should be more like Europe?
“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.”
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956
That doesn't work too well either. See Rubio and Arlen Toomey for starters.
Exactly right.
Except it hasn’t been totally bloodless; Nachum’s dead pool....
The left is counting on that. They absolutely cannot wait for lead to fly.
It will end badly for them.
Second impeachment article against President Richard Nixon:
Article 2
Using the powers of the office of President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in disregard of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has repeatedly engaged in conduct violating the constitutional rights of citizens, impairing the due and proper administration of justice and the conduct of lawful inquiries, or contravening the laws governing agencies of the executive branch and the purposed of these agencies.
This conduct has included one or more of the following:
He has, acting personally and through his subordinates and agents, endeavoured to obtain from the Internal Revenue Service, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, confidential information contained in income tax returns for purposed not authorized by law, and to cause, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, income tax audits or other income tax investigations to be intitiated or conducted in a discriminatory manner.
He misused the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Secret Service, and other executive personnel, in violation or disregard of the constitutional rights of citizens, by directing or authorizing such agencies or personnel to conduct or continue electronic surveillance or other investigations for purposes unrelated to national security, the enforcement of laws, or any other lawful function of his office; he did direct, authorize, or permit the use of information obtained thereby for purposes unrelated to national security, the enforcement of laws, or any other lawful function of his office; and he did direct the concealment of certain records made by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of electronic surveillance.
He has, acting personally and through his subordinates and agents, in violation or disregard of the constitutional rights of citizens, authorized and permitted to be maintained a secret investigative unit within the office of the President, financed in part with money derived from campaign contributions, which unlawfully utilized the resources of the Central Intelligence Agency, engaged in covert and unlawful activities, and attempted to prejudice the constitutional right of an accused to a fair trial.
He has failed to take care that the laws were faithfully executed by failing to act when he knew or had reason to know that his close subordinates endeavoured to impede and frustrate lawful inquiries by duly constituted executive, judicial and legislative entities concerning the unlawful entry into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee, and the cover-up thereof, and concerning other unlawful activities including those relating to the confirmation of Richard Kleindienst as Attorney General of the United States, the electronic surveillance of private citizens, the break-in into the offices of Dr. Lewis Fielding, and the campaign financing practices of the Committee to Re-elect the President.
In disregard of the rule of law, he knowingly misused the executive power by interfering with agencies of the executive branch, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Criminal Division, and the Office of Watergate Special Prosecution Force, of the Department of Justice, and the Central Intelligence Agency, in violation of his duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
In all of this, Richard M. Nixon has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore Richard M. Nixon, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.
Adopted 28-10 by the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives.
You also advocate the Death Penalty for political violations by Government Employees?
“And don’t the progressives tell us we should be more like Europe?”
Aye, that’s the truth. To the guillotine!
