Congress's investigation into the IRS targeting of conservatives has been continuing out of the Syria headlines, and it's turning up news. Emails unearthed by the House Ways and Means Committee between former Director of Exempt Organizations Lois Lerner and her staff raise doubts about IRS claims that the targeting wasn't politically motivated and that low-level employees in Cincinnati masterminded the operation.
In a February 2011 email, Ms. Lerner advised her staff—including then Exempt Organizations Technical Manager Michael Seto and then Rulings and Agreements director Holly Paz—that a Tea Party matter is "very dangerous," and is something "Counsel and [Lerner adviser] Judy Kindell need to be in on." Ms. Lerner adds, "Cincy should probably NOT have these cases."

Has the targeting of Conservative groups stopped? Does anybody know the answer?
Last I heard, it was ongoing. They have no fear of Congressional oversight, because they know the Dems will run interference for them out of sheer party loyalty.
And little fear of prosecution with Holder running the DOJ. This is what tyranny looks like.
Why would it stop when nothing is being done about the crimes this admin is committing. They are completely empowered by the cowered GOP.
This deserves the “No Sh** Sherlock” award. Purely thug government by nobama, the Clown Prince, Clown Car minions. Rule of law...we don’t need no steenkin’ laws.
Everyone knows this administration is corrupt to the core but are afraid to say so just like Ed (I don’t want to appear racist) Asner said.
She will be protected by those who have even more to lose
Why isn’t this woman in prison ?
no after a 2010 lien i am being auditted for 2012.
That liar should be in jail.
I’ll revise my own comments to add that the GOP could be among her staunchest supporters. What better way to suppress the Tea Party than to have the IRS squash it like a bug?
She should be in prison, but the closest she will get to a prison cell is when and if she tours a prison.
Because nobody has dragged her sorry ass into court?
The entire U.S. government is a criminal enterprise. Until WE do something WE will continue to be their slaves.
you have an excellent point.
The Tea Party only benefits the people, not most of those in power now.
Does the sun rise in the west? That is when the targeting of Conservative Groups will stop.
Yeah, I'm sure that'll work, that'll do it.......
Bohner plans to send a sternly worded letter stating that they will be some undefined consequences in the undefined distant future if it every happens again maybe.Just as long as if it doesn’t ruin the chance for bipartisanship,compromise,and agreement with commonsense proposals from the democrats.
Exactly true !
Continue to supress the conservative voice by :
continueing of the same process of delay,
hold no one person accountable ,
and claim that "Bush did it too ".
IRS DISCRIMINATION/BIAS IS CRIMINAL VOTER SUPPRESSION !
It will be promptly investigated by the Dept. of " JUST-US ", and apprehensions will occur at the conclusion of the investigation (How's that Fast and Furious investigation comming along ?)
It’s still going on. If they were to stop, it would be a tacit admission of wrongdoing. IOW, they have to continue it.
Mmmmmm.......that sounds familiar.
The meticulously researched timelines posted elsewhere on FR, are significant since they chronicle the times the Tea Party began heating up---holding massive rallies, and showing up at townhalls to protest Obamacare.
The arrogant, self-entitled Obamatons surely went ballistic. Does not take much imagination to know the WH con artists were thinking up demonic ways to stop the Tea Partiers who stood in their path.
SIGNIFICANT Remember that the Obamatons also took over the census. When Rahm Emanuel landed at Treasury, he had all the tools at his disposal to target individuals, tea parties, patriot groups, and so on.
=======================================
NOW HEAR THIS---CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSMAN AND THE LOCAL MEDIA WITH THIS MESSAGE: All of the Treasury factotums doing Rahm's bidding need to be identified and brought before Congress to testify under oath. We need to know the specifics WRT Emanuel's activities at Treasury including dates and times when Emanuel consorted w/ the IRS.
===========================================
TALKING POINTS--WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.
When he got to Treasury, White House COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings of the Treasury that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials.

MOMENTS TO REMEMBER Obama was fond of saying "Tea Parties are a threat to democracy."
Obama told Hispanics "we will punish our enemies, and reward our friends."
Valerie Jarrett ominously warned, they "would not forget" which Americans did not worship Obama.
Obama flunkies arrive at the WH.
The people have the power to do even worse: they can boo her when she goes out to eat. It got rid of NE Sen Ben Nelson...
That’s about the only way the system still allows us to fight back. If they don’t want to be boo’ed in public then they’d better restore the Constitutional means for the people to get redress for grievances.
I’m serious.
You would be a lot nicer than I would if I met one of these scumbags in public.
I’m serious.
Congress should threaten to defund the IRS until Lerner either spills her guts on the whole thing or is fired and loses all pension and benefits.
Defunding the Just-us dept until Holder appoints a special prosecutor might work too.
Perp walk! Here’s a little story about how the colonists of Boston handled overreaching and bullying government apparatchiks.
In 1774, John Malcolm was a Crown customs collector, based in Boston. At that time Boston had had five years of civic tension culminating in the Boston Massacre. Malcolm, like most Crown representatives didn’t much like the Bostonians and harboured smouldering resentment against the uppity locals who had been resisting Crown authority since the Stamp Act in 1768. They made his job difficult. Malcolm had more reason than most to hold a grudge against the colonists. He had only recently had a run-in with the good people of Portland, Maine on a customs matter over which they had disagreed. The Portland folks saw fit to tar and feather Malcolm but were kind enough to allow him to remain clothed for the treatment. A prideful man who was impressed by his own authority this didn’t sit well.
In the snow covered streets of Boston in January Malcolm was run over by a boy sledding in the street. Malcolm, his temper, getting the best of him raised his cane to strike the boy. George Hewes, a local shoemaker, intervened and Malcolm turned on Hewes. At first, Malcolm tried to overawe Hewes with his social rank - being a gentleman and, in Malcolm’s mind, a hero of the French and Indian War. Hewes took the vituperation of Malcolm with a grain of salt and retorted “Be that as it may, I was never tarred and feathered.” That was the match to Malcolm’s tinder and he flew at Hewes and struck him a near fatal blow to the head with his cane.
The town of Boston was electric with tension between the locals and Crown representatives and word of this attack spread almost instantly. A crowd gathered at Malcolm’s house while he shouted out a window, relishing baiting the crowd into an uproar, and flourishing with his sword, eventually stabbing one man in the chest.
The crowd swarmed the house, forcing Malcolm to retreat to the second floor. Malcolm was eventually disarmed and the crowd seized him, tied him, put him on a sled and dragged him through the town as brickbats rained upon him. After pulling him by the wharfs to pick up a barrel of tar, the mob took him to King St, by the Town House, where political rallies were customarily held and where the Massacre had occurred.
In the chill of the coldest night of a Boston January Malcolm was stripped, dislocating his arm, and hot tar daubed on his bare skin, burning his flesh. Feathers then were applied to give what was then called the “modern jacket”. Malcolm was then paraded, both burned and freezing, from one end of the town to the other and back. At the Liberty Tree they threw a noose around his neck and threatened to hang him if he didn’t denounce the Governor and the Customs Commissioners. He refused but they didn’t hang him. Instead they paraded him back to the far end of town again, eventually rolling him out of the cart at his home “like a log.”
Malcolm wasn’t the first or last to suffer from the people’s anger. In the time before Concord and Lexington many Crown representatives as well as colonists in government positions suffered their houses to be ransacked, demolished or fired and their persons to be insulted most cruelly. Soon, the British Regulars - the Redcoats - the Crown’s SWAT teams of the time - which had been withdrawn after the Boston Massacre in an attempt to calm matters were returned in force and Boston was placed under martial law.
