Issa: FBI impeding inquiry into IRS targeting of conservative groups
The Washington Times ^ | 12/03/13 | Stephen Dinan

Posted on 12/03/2013 6:48:56 AM PST by oxcart

The House’s chief investigator says the FBI is stonewalling his inquiry into whether the agency and the Internal Revenue Service targeted conservative group True the Vote for special scrutiny, and Rep. Darrell E. Issa is now threatening subpoenas to pry loose the information from FBI Director James B. Comey Jr.

Mr. Issa, California Republican, and Rep. Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican, are leading the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s IRS inquiry. They also said the FBI is refusing to turn over any documents related to its own investigation into the IRS, which began in the days after an auditor’s report revealed the tax agency had improperly targeted tea party groups for special scrutiny.

I would no more trust the FBI with anything than I would the DNC. They are well on their way to becoming a STASI, NKVD or Gestapo cult.

And the 4th Reich continues to grow stronger, while the public demands answers. Soon the 4th Reich will place Issa under investigation and try to silence him

When you see that the law protects them from you and not you from them,

your society is lost.

Chairman Issa, never threaten. Just do it! Word gets around that you mean business. Well, they know your MOS so never mind.

Why aren't those cited for contempt of Congress sent to federal prison? That's the way it used to be done. Remember the Hollywood Ten?

Commie Obama Speaking Rules:

1.) Begin with a Lie
2.) Blame others
3.) Ridicule others
4.) Demonize others
5.) Swagger in an arrogant manner before, during and after each speech.
( Have the Secret Service arrest anyone who dares to BOO, heckle, or not cheer vigorously enough).

BTW, who says that North Korea does not have traits that should not be imitated?

After all, America and North Korea are both just Communities that require the same expert “Reform” known only to Communist Community Organizers.

Every agency in federal government has been corrupted by the Obamas. Even including the census, for heaven's sake !

And a great deal of the courts also.

That is the reason that the republicans have gone over the heads of the AG and other corrupt agencies and are trying their cases in the court of public opinion.

By using the media to reveal the obstruction of the government to legislative inquiries, by getting information leaked by lower level employees, the legislature is documenting the government corruption. Even though they are unable to prosecute.
The plan is that an informed electorate will make the correct decisions.

Respectfully, I submit that is as likely as my wife suggesting I get a hot 30 yo mistress and having her move in with us.

>> I watched Nixon being taken down... it took years.

Yeah, and they had JUNKYARD DOGS on it.

With a fluffy poodle like Issa at the point, it’ll take... well, let’s just say it’ll never happen.

The House can just slash the FBI funding - but they won't.
The House can defund rogue District Courts - but they won't.
Our ability to make changes through elections is just about cooked.

You are day dreaming. Nobody is going to jail. Nothing is going to happen because the GOP leadership doesn’t want the conflict involved that it would require. They have steadfastly refused to engaged obama for 5 years. What makes you think they will start now?

The GOP won’t defund, impeach, etc. It’s simply not on their tip toe to the next election agenda. This is nothing more than a little bit of red meat hot air for the gullible base. I see it is working.

Memo to Darrell,
Start frogmarching people out of their offices until they cooperate. Contempt of Congress, obstructing justice, RICO violations, anything but those stupid subpoenas.

If you’re looking for proof that the gop wing of the uniparty is in cahoots with the ‘rat wing, you need look no further than Issa’s committee. Its the roach motel for scandals. eric holder could not have picked a more solid and consistent ally than Darryl Issa.

I watched Nixon being taken down... it took years.

It was only 2 years, one month and 25 days between the Watergate break-in and Nixon's resignation. Today is 12/3/13. How long has it been since F&F started or since the IRS started its current persecution?

GRRRRRREAT posts BUMP!

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

” You would use the law to oppose socialism? But it is upon the law that socialism itself relies. Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, not illegal plunder. Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.” - Bastiat
