Ludicrous
Defending the IRS during the second week of April. Great strategy there MSNBC. /s
MSNBC: More S#!7, Nothing But Crap.............................
The IRS has NEVER, EVER been a victim of ANYTHING. Wagner is crazy.
Apparently Issa has info that Cong Elijah Cummings and Lerner corresponded. If the allegations can be proven, IRS/Lerner and Democrat Cummings faces VERY serious charges of getting unauthorized access to confidential Federal Taxpayer Information (FTI), a violation that could land them in jail-----and if they colluded to obtain numbers of FTI's from Conservative 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) groups--that could involve other serious crimes.
If Elijah does, in fact, possess unauthorized tax documents obtained through conspiracy and collusion, and if he distributed the illegally-held documents to other "interested parties" (perhaps in Congress), charges of aiding and abetting could also be involved.

ALL OF THIS THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL One of the Articles of Impeachment drawn up against Richard Nixon was merely "threatening" to use the Internal Revenue Service to selectively audit political opponents.
OBAMA HAS WEAPONIZED THE IRS AGAINST POLITICAL OPPONENTS ordering multiple covert campaigns of intimidation, threats, and persecution of tea party/conservative organizations, and those daring to criticize Obama's agenda.

DEMS STOOP TO CONQUEUR--order IRS to act to save their seats
by Alexander Bolton, The Hill, 2/13/14
Senate Democrats facing tough elections this year want the IRS to play a more aggressive role in regulating outside groups expected to spend millions of dollars on their races. In the wake of the IRS targeting scandal, the Democrats are publicly prodding the agency instead of lobbying them directly.
Dems are also careful to say the IRS should treat conservative and liberal groups equally, but they’re concerned about an impending tidal wave of attack ads funded by GOP-allied organizations. Much of the funding for those groups is secret, in contrast to the donations lawmakers collect, which must be reported publicly.
One of the most powerful groups is Americans for Prosperity, funded by the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch. It has already spent close to $30 million on ads attacking Democrats this election cycle.
“If they’re claiming the tax relief, the tax benefit to be a nonprofit for social relief or social justice, then that’s what they should be doing,” said Sen. Mark Begich (D), who faces a competitive race in Alaska. “If it’s to give them cover so they can do political activity, that’s abusing the tax code. And either side."
Asked if the IRS should play a more active role policing political advocacy by groups that claim to be focused on social welfare, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) responded, “Absolutely. Both on the left and the right,” she said. “As taxpayers, we should not be providing a write-off to groups to do political activity, and that’s exactly what we’re doing.”
Shaheen called the glut of political spending by self-described social welfare groups that qualify under section 501(c) (4) of the tax code “outrageous.” Shaheen is in a good position now but could find herself embroiled in a tight campaign if former Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass) challenges her.
Sen. Mark Pryor (Ark.), the most vulnerable Democratic incumbent, said the IRS has jurisdiction over 501(c)(4) groups, as well as charities, which fall under section 5/01(c)(3) of the tax code and sometimes engage in quasi-political activity.
“That whole 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4) [issue], those are IRS numbers. It is inherently an internal revenue matter,” he said. “There are two things you don’t want in political money, in the fundraising world and expenditure world. You don’t want secret money, and you don’t want unlimited money, and that’s what we have now.” --SNIP--
Further evidence, as if any additional were necessary, that liberalism is a mental illness.
“You’re traveling through another dimension...”
It’s April 11 and America is not sympathetic.
BULLSH!T
The “witchhunt” was the partisan witchhunt suffered by “tea party” “patriot” and “constitution” groups who were targeted by the IRS at the instruction of the Democrats to thwart TWO elections (2010 and 2012).
Stalinists lie. ALWAYS
a tyrant Obama used the IRS to crack down on conservatives and Republicans to rig the election
democrats like this moron defend the evil IRS . this shows democrats love government . and shows what we are up against. the media is supposed to expose abuses of government not cover them up . But that is what the news media is doing
so the enemy of the American people are
1. The news media
2. government
3. democrats
4. the democrat party
5. well all of these are controlled by the democrat party
The IRS is the enforcement arm of the Government Party. It cannot be a victim. Was Al Capone a victim?
It is MSNBC. Intelligence is not required to work there...
Oh Lord.
Alex Wagner... now there’s a name that will never face a tax audit.
The Obama IRS has become the muscle of Eric Holder’s Gestapo.
The sooner that the IRS is abolished and replaced with a 9-9-9 flat tax, the better.
De-Fang the Federal Government:
ABOLISH THE IRS!
This is why I hope MSNBC doesn’t die away, regardless of the fact only dozens tune in at any given time. Their entertainment value is just too rich!
She must fear an audit.
